Creative Sourdough Add-Ins – Sweet, Savory & Endless Possibilities
Sourdough isn’t just bread — it’s a canvas. Once you’ve got your base dough down, you can fold in almost anything for a bakery-worthy loaf that’s completely your own. In this post, I’m sharing two of my favorites plus a pantry full of inspiration for your next creation.

💡 Tips
- Add-ins work best when folded in toward the end of bulk rise for even distribution without crushing delicate ingredients.
- Pair flavors — sweet loaves like apple cinnamon shine with a touch of spice, while savory loaves can handle bold herbs and cheeses.
- For moist add-ins (like fresh fruit or roasted peppers), pat dry before folding in to keep your dough structure strong.
