It is slightly sweet so can pair with a plain ‘ole peanut butter and jelly but it is also dark and earthy so it can go well with a turkey and Swiss cheese. A mysterious bread that could also make a delicious Reuben sandwich. There is also an aspect that beckons for some spicy mustard. Your call see what is says to you.

Instant Pot Sourdough Brown Bread

Really, this is a no-fuss artisan type bread. Using up left over coffee (if that is really a thing 🙂 ) , starting this delicious bread in the morning, and rising it in the instant pot, by dinner time you will have the perfect accompaniment.

Instant Pot

Rising and souring your bread in the instant pot is the easiest way to proof your bread. When it is time to sour/rise your bread place the dough in an oiled and parchment lined instant pot. Set your instant pot to the “yogurt” setting for 5-7 hours.

The Dutch Oven or Clay Baker

This bread does really well cooked in a dutch oven or clay baker. The high heat and steaming ability of the closed lid cooking really fairs well for this bread. You are left with a soft chewy loaf of bread.
