The Susie's Sourdough Daisy

The daisy is my logo and my favorite part of every bake: a little flour flower made of basil seeds and thick-cut oats, pressed right onto the dough so it bakes into the crust. It's the cutest thing, and once your bread wears one, you won't want to bake without it.

This guide shows you exactly how I do it, step by step with photos: when the daisy goes on for sandwich loaves, batards, everything bagel, super seed and gluten-free loaves, how to build it on the bench and press it on with your thumb, and how to make a whole batch ahead. Let's bake the world a better place, one daisy at a time. 🌸
