This nourishing sourdough recipe brings together the power of slow fermentation with the adaptogenic magic of our Golden Sun Milk. With hints of Turmeric, Ashwagandha, and warming spices swirled into the dough, each bite supports immunity, digestion, and deep cellular vitality. The addition of raw honey and freshly milled flour gives it a rich, hearty flavor with a soft, open crumb.
For a special touch, top your loaf with a handcrafted flower cup—a simple dough infused with Rose and purple sweet potato powder. It’s a beautiful, functional way to bring a little plant-powered artistry to your table.
Rooted in tradition and elevated with herbs—this is bread made for ritual, nourishment, and joy!

Sourdough Directions:

- Perform four sets of stretch and folds every 30 minutes. During the last three sets, sprinkle 1 tsp of Golden Sun Milk evenly over the dough before folding to create a marbled interior and enhance the golden milk flavor.

- Cold-proof for 12–72 hours.
- Preheat oven to 430°F.
- Coat the exterior with flour or Thai rice flour for a smooth, white surface. Lightly wet the dough, then sprinkle the flour on top and rub it in.
- Score your dough, or get creative and try shaping it into a daffodil, as seen in the images.
- Bake for 20 minutes covered, then about 20 minutes uncovered.
- Let loaf cool before eating. Enjoy!
