Hey everyone! I've been baking sourdough for about a half-decade at this point and feel like I've got the basics down. What do you guys do when you want to do something weird with your sourdough? I've heard of adding fruit to a starter, but I don't think that would work because the sugars won't be as freely available for the yeast as in a liquid.

I have added olives and raisins (in different breads, just to be clear lol) before, both were delicious, not sure if you can call it crazy though :)

Oh I love raisins in something like a soda bread. I've heard, or read about people putting like, fruit water in stead of regular water in their starters.

Can't even imagine what that would taste like with sourdough 😅
