We have so many family favorite bread, cookie, and cake recipes.
podcast-host
I want to keep making them, but with the benefits of sourdough, knowing that of course they'll taste somewhat different.
podcast-host
My family will rebel if they never get their favorites anymore, but I'm not sure how to convert them to use sourdough starter.
podcast-host
So this is super simple, and I do have a tutorial.
podcast-host
My blog and and in my book, but at that time I was doing where I was removing, so to make it precise, you can remove the same amount of liquid and flour from the recipe as you're adding in for the sourdough starter.
podcast-host
But to make it not that precise but also perfectly delicious, you can just add in a little bit of sourdough starter and
podcast-host
With with it being equal parts ish flour and water, it works just fine.
podcast-host
So for an example, with a bread recipe.
podcast-host
I would in place of the yeast probably add about a half cup of sourdough starter and then allow for longer rise times during the first rise and the second rise after shaping.
podcast-host
For a cookie recipe, I would, after creaming the butter and sugar and adding the eggs and vanilla, adding in a sourdough starter, then adding in all the dry ingredients, and then putting it in the refrigerator for about three days to cold ferment.
podcast-host
So scones and cookies, I would do it that way.
podcast-host
For cake, I would take all of the flour from a recipe, add the liquids and the sourdough starter, and let just that portion
podcast-host
sit on the counter and ferment and then the next day add in the leaveners and the the eggs or anything else like that.
podcast-host
Now you could add all of the ingredients together, but I find that the leaveners are a bit more active when you add them at the end.
podcast-host
And then with cookies, the reason that I'm not doing it that way is because we want to keep the butter cold.
podcast-host
So that's kind of my typical rule of thumb.
podcast-host
So something like muffins, cakes, would just be starter, liquid, and flour, letting that sit out, then adding in the rest of the ingredients, cookies, adding in the starter after the eggs and vanilla, and then mixing all the dough up, putting it in the fridge for three days to ferment with the liquid batters.
podcast-host
I would say just about 12 hours at room temperature.
podcast-host
And then for breads, following the exact recipe except substituting.
podcast-host
out a little bit of starter in place of the yeast and doing longer rice times.
