When most people think of sourdough with dinner, they think of serving a loaf of bread with their main meal. That doesnโt need to be the case.
Even googling some ideas will showcase how to use your bread, yet what if I told you that sourdough could be the main event.
Not just a meal served with a slice of bread, but rather a way to add delicious fermented grains in a wide variety of ways, including some really easy one pot dishes.
You truly are only limited by your imagination when it comes to sourdough dinner ideas.
Sourdough Dinner Ideas
Tacos And Wraps
Use the Best Sourdough Tortillas recipe to make these easy family favorites. Double or triple the batch and store the tortillas in the freezer for a quick meal. Serve with your favorite toppings and condiments. My favorite way to serve any Mexican dish is with some fermented salsa, fermented jalapeรฑos, and homemade sour cream.
Make Beef Carnitas โ Instant Pot, Slow Cooker Or Oven
Quesadillas with beans, cheese, and meat.
Sourdough Cheddar Waffle Sandwiches
Take the best cheddar waffles and use it to hold your favorite sandwich toppings.
Sandwich Wraps
Made with tortillas or flatbreads. Choose your favorite variety of deli meats, cheese, tomato, lettuce, and condiments.

Iโm not above a good breakfast for dinner night. It is easy, quick, and everyone loves it. Top fluffy English muffins with bacon, eggs, and cheese. You are not limited to breakfast sandwiches either. I love making pancakes and waffles for breakfast.
Sourdough Herb And Cheese Rolls
These may be more of a side, but you can easily add in some sliced ham or turkey to these rolls to make delicious meat and cheese roll.
Burgers on Homemade Sourdough Burger Buns
Sourdough Grilled Cheese
Slather some butter on two slices of sourdough bread, and place buttered side down on a skillet on medium heat. Add cheese, top with the other piece of bread and cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden brown and the cheese has melted.
French Dip With Sourdough Bread
I made this for the YouTube channel awhile back and this recipe was really yummy.
I thinly sliced the steak up and cooked it in a cast iron skillet with some garlic, salt and pepper.
Then I added some chicken broth, red wine, worcestershire sauce, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder. You should use beef broth, but I had chicken on hand.
Slice homemade sourdough French bread in half, add the steak, top with Swiss cheese. On the other half, add some butter. Place in a 400 degree oven and bake until the cheese and butter are melted.
Slice and serve with the au jus.

Salad With Sourdough Croutons
Topped with homemade kefir ranch dressing, honey mustard, or Fermented Balsamic Blueberry Vinaigrette

Pizza Bread
Slice a loaf of sourdough French bread in half lengthwise. Spread pizza sauce on each half and cover with your favorite toppings. Bake at 400 degrees until the cheese is melted.
Chicken And Pork
Chicken is coated with a sourdough and bread crumb coating and oven-fried to make a flavorful and crispy outside and a tender, juicy inside.
A creamy chicken and vegetable filling is topped with delicious and fluffy sourdough biscuits or a flaky sourdough pie crust.
This can be done with either my sourdough biscuit recipe or sourdough pie crust.
Mexican Sourdough Skillet
HereI share with you a Mexican sourdough skillet, but this is really just a base recipe that you can easily make however you like. Try it with whatever meats and/or veggies you have in your fridge for a nutritious and satisfying meal.
Sourdough Galette With Sage, Leek, And Goat Cheese
This rustic recipe is made with sage, leeks, and potatoes, topped with goat cheese, and drizzled with honey.
The perfect way to use up extra sourdough bread or maybe a loaf that didnโt quite turn out super great. Chunks of sourdough bread are soaked in a custard filling with sausage and herbs, and topped with cheese.
Sides
Cauliflower is dipped in sourdough starter and bread crumbs, baked until crispy, and tossed in a flavorful buffalo sauce. Dip in homemade kefir ranch dressing for a cool contrast.

There are just a few sourdough dinner ideas to get your creative dinner juices flowing.

I’m just getting interested in sourdough, as my family has a gluten sensitivity (we’ve been gluten free for years), so I ordered some einkorn flour to try. It would be amazing to have bread that doesn’t taste like styrofoam. Lol. I can’t wait to try some of these. ๐
Lisa says
Excited for you to try some of the recipes! Hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!
Christy says

Stephanie Serblowski says
Hi there, do you have a book I can buy with all your Sourdough recipes? I bought your simple farmhouse life book but don’t see any food recipes in there.
Karen says
Hello, do you make any food without meat? Most of your recipes are meat heavy and don’t work for my vegetarian family. I have asked before but never received a reply. Thank you.
Lisa says
Very rarely! We aren’t vegetarian, so the meals don’t fit in with our lifestyle.
Pam says
Lisa, I enjoy your vlog and recipes. The problem I’m having when I attempt to download and print your recipes is the words run together like this “1cupflour3tspsoda1cupmilk”. This isn’t just an occasional problem it is with every recipe. Don’t know if you are aware of this. Thank you for any assistance you can give me.
