Springtime screams simple sourdough recipes with strawberries. Try saying that five times fast! All jokes aside, strawberry and sourdough are a match we can not get enough of. They are equal parts sweet and tangy. We are making these recipes all spring (and summer) long.
One of our favorite parts about strawberries is they are so easy to grow and they seem to last in the fridge much longer than other fruit (looking at your raspberries!). We often can, freeze and cook with strawberries from the moment they pop up at our local farmers market and a few weeks later in our garden.
Strawberries cook down in desserts and treats to become almost jam like, without becoming too watery. Plus, they absolutely enhance the overall flavor.
If you like sourdough scones with strawberries, strawberry sourdough dutch babies and strawberry sourdough galette, these recipes will be up your alley. Not only are they all fairly easy to create, they will easily make a dent in your leftover sourdough discard and strawberry pile. Now let’s get to baking!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. Sourdough Strawberry Dutch Baby
Since I was previously gluten free before enjoying sourdough, a sourdough dutch baby was one of the first recipes I tried after making sourdough bread. We took the classic sourdough dutch baby recipe and threw in strawberries.
The strawberries meld down and become ‘jam like’ when paired with sugar. It is a great topping to a light and fluffy dutch baby pancake. Enjoy plain or with powdered sugar.
2. American Flag Sourdough Fruit Pizza
This sourdough fruit pizza is made with a sourdough sugar cookie base. Enjoy with a cream cheese frosting and design it with your fruit of choice. We made this 4th of July sourdough dessert to celebrate the holiday, though you can use whatever fruit you have on hand to create a beautiful pattern.
3. Sourdough Mixed Berry Dutch Baby
There is a reason this mixed berry dutch baby makes it on two top lists for berries and sourdough (looking at you blueberry sourdough roundup!).
This mixed berry dutch baby recipe is made with sourdough discard. The sourdough dutch baby is one version of a pancake we have grown to know and love. You will find raspberries, blackberries, blueberries and strawberries within this recipe. Beware, it may stain your teeth and tongue blue – which our kids loved!
4. Sourdough Strawberry Muffins
These sourdough muffins with strawberries are a fun way to use up both excess sourdough discard and fresh strawberries. The strawberries turn ‘jam like’ within the batter once baked.
5. Strawberry Sourdough Croissants
Make these flaky buttery sourdough croissants with a layer of strawberries. The strawberry is worked into the batter to create a beautiful layered croissant, one pink and one traditional. The end result is so unique, we almost do not want to eat them.
6. Sourdough Strawberry Rolls
We might argue these are better than homemade sourdough cinnamon rolls. These sourdough strawberry rolls are soft and fluffy. Enjoy a fresh strawberry filling between each layer. And as an added bonus, the topping is a strawberry cream cheese frosting.
7. Strawberry Discard Strawberry Cake
This sourdough discard strawberry cake is a delight. The cake is dense, without being a pound cake. Top the cake, coat the strawberries in sugar and sprinkle them on top. This sugary strawberry combination cooks down to create a jam like consistency. We put powdered sugar and homemade whipped cream on top – delicious!
8. Mixed Berry Galette with Sourdough Discard
This sourdough galette is made with mixed berries (strawberries are included in the mix!). If you have never had a galette before, they are a flat, round and slightly crusty cake which wraps around the filling.
9. Sourdough Strawberry Sheet Cake
If you like strawberry sourdough poke cake, make this recipe. The cake is moist and flavorful, thanks to sourdough discard and strawberries blended into the batter. And it is topped with a delicious strawberry cream cheese frosting.
10. Sourdough Strawberry Galette
This strawberry sourdough galette is truly one of a kind. The strawberry jam pairs well with the crusty and flaky cake like bottom we know and love as a galette.
11. Sourdough Strawberry Rhubarb Cobbler
Strawberries are meant to be paired with rhubarb. The strawberries and rhubarb bake down to create a pie like filling. The cobbler is made with sourdough discard.
12. Strawberry Sourdough Bread
If you like a sweet version of sourdough bread, try this strawberry sourdough bread. Fresh strawberries are folded into the bread to give a sweet and tangy flavor. Strawberries are one inclusion (we have over 130+ inclusion ideas) we adore putting into baked goods and bread.
13. Strawberries and Cream Sourdough Scones
If you like strawberries and cream, make these sourdough scones. The scones are equal parts flaky and buttery. They are tender and have strawberries in each bite. Better yet, they have a strawberry and cream glaze on the top.
