We take a look at some of your best sourdough names

The Staff Canteen

It’s no secret that a lot of chefs give their pre-fermented sourdough a name as the dough often becomes part of the furniture in the kitchen, a constant presence in their lives! 

Therefore, we asked you guys to tell us what you call your sourdough and we’ve picked out some of the best to share.

We're sure this a popular one...

Some chefs think of it as their pet...

It really is a great name...

This one sounds like

a whopper!...

There's been a few members in this kitchen...

Who doesn't like a play on words...

This one's a bit of a FLASH in the pan...

We almost forgot about this one, d'oh!...

We're getting a Norman Bates vibe here...

Everyone knows a Steve...
