Dinner doesnโ€™t have to be a monotonous chore lacking inspiration. Here are some of my favorite sourdough dinner ideas to make your next family feast a little more delicious.

When most people think of sourdough with dinner, they think of serving a loaf of bread with their main meal. That doesnโ€™t 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.

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.

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.

    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. ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. Lisa says:

      Excited for you to try some of the recipes! Hope you enjoy them as much as my family does!

  2. Christy 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.

  4. 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.

    1. Lisa says:

      Very rarely! We aren’t vegetarian, so the meals don’t fit in with our lifestyle.

  5. 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.
