September is National Sourdough Month, which happens to be the game changer bread that helped me with digestive issues! So when La Brea Bakery invited me to show several scrumptious recipes using the different varieties of La Brea Bakery artisan bread on Good Day LA, I jumped at the chance! Here is the segment and below are the recipes.
Watch the segment here at this link.
Let’s discuss the health benefits of sourdough bread because there’s a reason Taylor Swift shared that baking sourdough bread is one of her hobbies! And with La Brea Bakery, you don’t have to bake your own! La Brea Bakery has been baking sourdough bread the right way since the company’s inception in 1989. They start with a sourdough starter that’s made with four simple ingredients that employs a longer fermentation process resulting in a golden crispy crust and a soft airy inside. Yum and yes please!
Sourdough Health Benefits
As a postmenopausal woman, I was definitely having digestive issues, so when I made the switch to La Brea Bakery sourdough bread varieties, I experienced improvement with less bloating and I felt better all over! I love bread, so I’m happy that I can enjoy sourdough bread sandwiches and lots of recipes, too.
Sourdough has multiple health benefits…
*Lower in gluten
*Lower glycemic levels
*Prebiotics in sourdough aid digestion
*Overall gentler on body than other types of breads
Here are some easy and pleasing recipe ideas using La Brea Bakery’s sourdough varieties…

Recipe – Get this easy and impressive Pumpkin Spice Sourdough French Toast recipe here at this La Brea Bakery recipe site link. One fun idea is to make a toppings bar and let your guests top the finished French Toast with the garnish they want. I suggest candied pecans, whipped cream (or Greek yogurt), warmed maple syrup, apple slices, cinnamon and more! Fun holiday idea!
Speaking of an culinary bar idea for your gathering, try these Crostini and Bruschetta Bar recipe ideas…
*Using La Brea Bakery Rosemary Olive Oil Round Loaf, make crostini by slicing the bread into thin portions, toast and then top with wild mushrooms, goat cheese and thyme. So good! 
*Next use La Brea Bakery Olive Loaf to make more crostini slices (as described above) to then top with roasted tomatoes, a whipped feta and cream cheese blend then topped with a balsamic glaze (pictured above). You will eat more than just one with this combo!
*Add a bruschetta element by working with thicker slices to toast and top. Use La Brea Bakery Roasted Garlic Loaf as the perfect base to then top with a white bean hummus, prosciutto and an irresistible basil pesto. So good!
*Everyone loves a good baguette so grab several La Brea Bakery Sourdough Baguette loaves to create more palette-pleasing options for your Crostini & Bruschetta board. Ideas include topping with a whipped honey ricotta, pistachios and lemon zest. Get that recipe here. Make one more using honey, brie and figs.
