The Sourdough Toast Combos I Keep Coming Back To

Six years into my sourdough journey and I can confidently say this: there are very few things in life better than really good sourdough toast. Not plain toast. Not sad, rushed breakfast toast. I’m talking thick sliced, perfectly golden, crunchy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-inside sourdough toast piled with toppings that make you immediately want another slice.

Honestly, sourdough toast has become one of my favorite ways to enjoy my bread. It feels a little elevated without requiring much effort, and it turns simple ingredients into something that feels special.

Lately I’ve been rotating between two versions constantly, and both deserve a permanent spot in the breakfast lineup.

Avocado Toast on Sourdough

Classic for a reason.

I had a couple perfectly ripe avocados last week, so naturally sourdough avocado toast was happening immediately. I smashed the avocado with flaky sea salt, spread it over toasted sourdough, then topped it with a poached egg and fresh chives straight from my garden.

On the side I added sliced cherry tomatoes for a little freshness and color.

Simple? Yes.
Boring? Absolutely not.



The crunchy sourdough with the creamy avocado and runny egg is honestly hard to beat. Plus it’s one of those breakfasts that actually keeps me full for hours instead of having me wandering back into the kitchen an hour later looking for snacks.

If you have homemade sourdough, this is one of the best ways to enjoy it.

Brie and Pancetta Sourdough Toast

Now this one feels a little fancy while still being ridiculously easy.

I started with softened brie smeared over warm sourdough toast. Then came crispy pancetta, poached eggs, even more pancetta, and fresh chives on top.



The warm brie melts slightly into the toast and the salty pancetta with the creamy egg is just perfection.

This is the kind of breakfast that makes you pause after the first bite because it tastes like something you’d order at a brunch spot. Except you’re standing in your own kitchen in pajamas holding coffee while feeling extremely accomplished.

Honestly, sourdough was made for combinations like this.

Why Sourdough Toast Just Hits Different

There’s something about the texture and flavor of sourdough that makes toast feel more substantial and satisfying. The crispy edges, the chewy center, the slight tang from the fermentation process… it works with both savory and creamy toppings so well.

And after six years of feeding starters, baking loaves, learning what works, and occasionally producing absolute hockey pucks along the way, moments like these still make me appreciate sourdough all over again.

Sometimes the simplest meals end up being the ones you crave most.

If you’re baking sourdough at home, consider this your sign to skip plain buttered toast for a day and try something a little more exciting.

You might suddenly find yourself planning meals around your next loaf too.

Blanks in American Mahjong: The House Rule That Completely Changed My Game

If you’ve spent any time in the online American Mahjong world lately, you’ve probably seen one surprisingly heated debate pop up again and again: Blanks or no blanks? Who knew six little tiles could spark such strong opinions? When Mahjong first started taking over my social feeds, I kept seeing players passionately debate whether blanks should be used in play. Some people swear by them. Others act like they should never touch the table. Naturally, I needed to understand what all the fuss was about. First things first… What is a blank tile in American Mahjong? Most American Mahjong sets come with six blank tiles . Their official purpose is simple: they're backup tiles. Examples of Blanks paired with Jokers for reference. Set on the left is my My Fair Mahjong Confetti Purple . Set on the right is my Amazon set from My Mahjong Trove .  They happen to be resting on my Paper Rifle Co Garden Party Mousepad (I told you I was obsessed!) Lose a tile? No problem.

I Tried the Sourdough Bulk Fermentation Float Test, and It Actually Worked

Bulk fermentation is still the part of sourdough that can humble me. I can feed a starter. I can stretch and fold. I can shape a loaf. I can bake a loaf that makes my kitchen smell amazing. But knowing exactly when bulk fermentation is done? That is where things can get tricky. My last few loaves had definitely overproofed on the counter. Not dramatically enough to be a total disaster, but enough that I could tell I had missed the sweet spot. The dough was a little too relaxed. The final shape was a little harder to manage. The oven spring was not what I wanted. So when I kept seeing a new bulk fermentation trick online, I was curious. The idea was simple: when your dough is ready for bulk fermentation, pinch off a small piece of dough and drop it into a room-temperature glass of water. Keep the glass next to your main bowl of dough on the counter. When the little piece of dough floats, bulk fermentation is done. It sounded almost too easy. So of course I had to try it. The Sourdough B...
