"I loaf you." This is one sourdough pun that I can totally see my husband saying to me. He's sweet and funny and knows how to land a killer (if cheesy) pun. My love for his puns is one of the things our friends still comment on: that that's how they knew I was the one for him. I always find them funny.
It's thanks to him that we're going to have a post all about my favourite sourdough puns and jokes this month. We have mostly made it through the spooky season... (on my walk earlier today, I was still seeing plenty of Halloween decorations out!). So it feels like a good time for something light-hearted to turn the mood around and get us ready for the warmth of the soul to get us through November. (Not to mention the time change!)
Without further ado: here's my top 10 sourdough related puns, jokes and wise bits (with credits at the bottom of the page).
My fave sourdough jokes, puns and witty bits
- What does sourdough do on a first date? Tries to get a rise out of you.
- How do you know if a sourdough loaf has been baked by a pessimist? They always see the crust as half charred.
- What is a sourdough's idea of a balanced diet? A slice in each hand!
- I can't think of a sourdough pun right now, but I'll surprise you with one when you yeast expect it.

- Warning: sourdough may cause symptoms like chickens and a farm.
- Procrastibaking. Verb: when you have a million things to do but ignore everything and bake a loaf of sourdough.
- "Our customers love us; they are never sour."
- This one is best seen as the card one sourdough lover made for another:
"Thanks a boule'ion" by thesuperficial88, posted to Reddit. A "boule" is French for a round, crusty loaf of bread, often sourdough. - Be like sourdough: live slowly, build up your strength, transform under pressure and bring people joy.
Hope your day is better because of this dash of sourdough humour!
