\"\"I know I am late to the game here, but I recently fell down the sourdough bread baking hole. I took a class for my birthday, and fell in love. My oven has been going, non stop, and while I am still learning with every loaf, I am having so much fun! How can I combine my latest obsession with coffee culture? I had two ideas, we will start with this one first; pairing a loaf with each of the coffees offered at Starbucks.<\/p>\n

We will start on the lighter end of the spectrum, and move our way down. First up is blonde espresso!<\/p>\n

First of all, I need to clarify, I am still learning, I am 30 days into my sourdough journey, and I do not claim to be an expert or anything like that.\u00a0 When I took my class, she gave me her bread recipe and techniques, most of that has not changed in what I am posting here. If you have a different method for proofing, or baking, awesome \ud83d\ude42 Please adapt to your needs and preferences.<\/p>\n

For this loaf, I actually used a freshly pulled shot of blonde espresso in the mix. I *love* my Nespresso pixie<\/a>, and the blonde shots<\/a> are so delicious! I actually honestly really love both of my Nespresso machines (not sponsored, but hey Nespresso, I wouldn’t mind!) My days begin at 3am, and having a variety of coffee\/espresso at the touch of my fingertips at that time is invaluable.<\/p>\n

We paired this loaf with one of my favorite Starbucks drinks, which is no longer on the menu, but you can still order it. The chocolate almond milk shaken espresso, except we used oat milk \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n
