Sourdough Bread
Sourdough is my oldest son’s favorite bread, and he loves sandwiches so I make a LOT of sourdough. I have had my starter for 10 years and I’m honestly not the best starter parent.

If you have never made your own bread, it is such a rewarding thing to do. The ingredients are so simple, yet they are transformed into something extraordinarily delicious.

Adana Kebabs with Tzatziki, Charred Tomatoes, Garlic Naan, Orzo Rice, Jerusalem Salad + a Smoked Old Fashioned
