A tall Lombard Christmas bread enriched with butter, yolks and candied citrus, raised first with refreshed sourdough and then proofed in a paper mould.

An Iranian whole-wheat sourdough flatbread adapted for a home oven and ordinary baking sheet. This method keeps the broad, dimpled hand-stretched shape but omits the traditional hot-pebble hearth and its imprint.

A dense whole-rye loaf with a sourdough preferment, soaked rye chops and sunflower seeds. It bakes in a long loaf pan and rests for 24–48 hours before slicing.

A dark rye sourdough with coriander and roasted barley-malt scald, based on Lily McCann's measured Borodinsk-ish home formula.

Unfed sourdough starter flavours a soft pretzel dough raised with instant yeast. After a short rest, the dough is shaped, brushed with a sweet wash, salted and baked without a final proof.

A ripe sourdough starter leavens this modern low-handling loaf. Three hourly folds organize the sticky dough before a long refrigerator rest, final proof and covered bake.

This household Pan de Cruz adaptation uses sourdough and a folded, tight-crumb wheat dough, marked with a cross and baked in a home oven.

A rye-rich sourdough loaf with wheat flour, a dried-bread soaker and a small addition of baker’s yeast.

This Estonian rye loaf uses a sourdough preferment, a rye scald and soaked seeds, with a small amount of baker’s yeast. Two tins bake through a staged hot-to-moderate oven schedule.

A soft English muffin dough combines sourdough starter with baker’s yeast, then rises, is cut into rounds and cooks on a griddle. The starter adds tang; the added yeast helps it rise.
