Basque-Style Cheesecake

With a Sourdough Base

Dennis

This Basque-style cheesecake takes everything you love about the classic — the crackly burnt top, the custardy center, the rich creaminess — and adds a twist with an enriched sourdough base that brings subtle tang and incredible depth of flavor. It’s the perfect recipe for anyone who loves sourdough baking but wants to venture beyond bread, or for cheesecake fans looking for something a little unexpected. The dough adds structure without heaviness, creating a beautiful contrast to the molten interior. It feels rustic yet refined, and best of all, it’s much easier to pull off than it looks.

And now Renee, I must apologize, but Dood got you: I love you.
