- Long-form video, posted 2026-11-07: Sourdough that tastes like cake. (5:10). Recipe below is taken from its description.
- Same bake as the Short I Tied My Sourdough. It Baked Into a Pumpkin. (2026-11-04).

Recipe (from the video description)
- Levain, mixed the night before: 50 g water, 20 g starter, 60 g flour, overnight at room temperature. The whole levain (130 g) goes in, so Starter g = 130.
- Dough: 320 g water, 470 g King Arthur all-purpose (assumed: the description says all-purpose flour), 30 g rye, 10 g salt.
- Mix starter + water, add flours, rest 45 min. Add salt, mix 4 min on medium (or 8–10 min by hand), rest 45 min.
- Roast butternut squash 180 °C ~30 min, puree, mix into the dough with wet hands.
- 2 coil folds, 30–45 min apart. Shape, into banneton. Fridge 3–12 h.
- Bake straight from the fridge at 220 °C in a Dutch oven, tied with 4 pieces of twine and scored: lid on 20 min, lid off ~16 min. Cool 30 min before cutting.
