Hi there! Nice to meet you!

I'm Jessica, the baker, recipe developer, photographer and voice behind this vegan sourdough baking blog!

Zest and Flour is my little nook on the Internet where I share recipes with everyone passionate about homemade sourdough baking or looking to make healthier vegan desserts using their sourdough discard.

You will find on this blog a wide variety of inspiring recipes, such as classic crusty sourdough bread, sourdough vegan muffins, sourdough bagels, sourdough vegan cookies and sourdough plant-based brownies, enriched sourdough loaves and a ton of other creative ways to use your extra sourdough discard.

In this blog, I want to emphasize how sourdough baking should be for everyone, even if you think you are too busy! It can take some time to fully grasp the secret of sourdough baking and how to make it work for you and your schedule, but let's keep it fun and stress-free along the way.

I hope you will find something here you will enjoy! ❤️
