Make this beautiful Sourdough Matcha Swirl Bread like no other while staying at home! Fresh homemade bread is always the best without hidden ingredients, the best part is you get to taste them straight from the oven, can’t complain!


This sourdough matcha swirl bread using natural fermentation is simply beautiful. The bread is very soft and fluffy, flavourful and well presented with stunning swirl. This recipe is yeast free using active sourdough starter so it takes longer than normal yeast bread for the making process. There are no complicated or extra steps to make this beautiful bread but mainly longer proofing time. Trust me, it worth the wait!
Remember I mentioned choosing the right matcha powder is very important to make a good quality bakery in my Crispy Matcha Cream Puffs post?Ceremonial grade matcha that has been stone ground is the best one to go for, however if you couldn’t find this highest grade matcha, look for a better quality matcha that still gives you the vibrant green colour.
This sourdough milk bread recipe with stunning matcha swirl make a lovely loaf of sliceable bread with a soft and tender crumb. Unlike the traditional sourdough bread with open crumb, this airy and fluffy sourdough milk bread is smooth with a feathery soft texture without leavened holes.
