In researching recipes for this week, I found myself being drawn to more savory items. I ended up settling on two savory recipes and one sweet. Seems fair. Firstly, we will tackle a sourdough breakfast skillet that’s full of protein to feed my three growing boys. There is no flour in this recipe (I know, crazy). Instead, we will use some veggies, eggs, and cheese. I will use 1 cup of active sourdough starter to make the topping. I get to use my cast iron pan again…wahoo! I will also be using another fun gadget, my cute little food processor.…

What a great bake week! Everything tasted great and got rave reviews from the fam. This was the second time doing the Sourdough Cinnamon Toast Crunch and it was even better this time. I tripled the recipe so that we were sure to have enough. I used 550g of fresh milled flour. The actual recipe called for 4 1/2 cups AP flour when tripled. So, 4 1/2 x 120 = 540g . I added 10 extra grams to account for the fresh milled flour’s increased absorption. I used 360g of my discard for this cereal. All of the remaining ingredients…

The sourdough cinnamon toast crunch cereal/crackers that I made a couple weeks back have been requested again. Not only is this a great cereal recipe, but it makes for a great little snack. The cereal stores nicely in a jar and they are easy to pop a few to get a sweet treat. I plan on tripling the recipe this time. So, I will end up using 4 1/2 cups (540g) of fresh milled flour. (120 x 4.5=540g). I will end up using about 360g (120g x 3=360g) of my sourdough discard. So yummy! My husband also requested I make…

Sourdough apple fritters started off our weekend. I converted the 1 cup of AP flour to 1 cup (120g) of fresh milled flour and added a bit more milk: 1/2 cup instead of the 1/4 cup the recipe called for. I used 1 large Honeycrisp apple because that’s what I had in the pantry and 1/2 cup of my sourdough discard. These were fun and super easy to make. I did sprinkle some cinnamon sugar on top to give them a little more sweetness. The recipe called for frying or baking…I chose to bake them. I kept these fritters pretty…

To continue the Fall baking theme, the boys have requested I bake some sourdough apple fritters. These will utilize 1/2 cup of my sourdough discard and 120g (1 cup) of fresh milled flour. In order to successfully convert it from AP flour to fresh milled, I will add a bit more milk then what the recipe calls for. Otherwise, these should be a no nonsense, yummy treat. Next, I will venture into the world of sourdough discard pizza rolls! The flavor possibilities are endless with these. I will add some different cheeses and pepperoni to start. This recipe uses 7…

What a fun week of baking. We started off with the sourdough pumpkin pie twists. So easy and so fun! The recipe called for 1 cup of active sourdough starter and 2.5 cups of AP flour. So, to convert the AP flour to fresh milled, I followed the general rule that 1 cup of AP flour = 120g of fresh milled flour. So, 2.5 x 120 =300g. Then, knowing that I am switching from AP to fresh milled, I added a bit more flour to account for the extra absorption of the fresh milled flour. Long story short, I used…

I’m really excited for this week’s baking. I often make sourdough discard crackers with any leftover starter I have. I’ve wondered, could I make a cinnamon toast crunch cereal the same way I make my crackers? Sure enough, there are a bunch of recipes on-line for cereal. I will try this sourdough Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal from Simplicity and a Starter. The kids are very excited for this! I will use 1/2 cup or 120g of sourdough discard. The recipe calls for 1 1/2 cup (220g) + 1 Tablespoon of AP flour. I will start with 250g of fresh milled…

We had some great baking success this week. The adjustments made on the sourdough English muffins made for a tasty breakfast treat paired with our Smash foods raspberry jelly. Instead of using 1 cup of water, as called for in the recipe, I used 1 1/4 cup water. This was just the right amount to work the dough and get the consistency needed. Instead of 2 1/2 cups AP flour, I used 2 1/2 cups (300g) of fresh milled hard white wheat flour. I used my 12 inch cast iron pan to cook these lovelies. As an introduction to Fall,…

My kids love muffins of all kinds. So, this week I thought I’d make two kinds…fresh milled sourdough English muffins and fresh milled sourdough apple pie muffins. I have struggled with English muffins in the past being very dense. This is an issue with many baked goods when using fresh milled flour. My plan will be to increase the liquid amount called for in the recipe to attempt to provide more hydration. Instead of 1 cup of water, I’ll start with 1 1/4 cup water. I will use my 12 inch cast iron pan again this week to make the…

Well, the sourdough strawberry rolls were a huge success. My recipe adjustments for the all purpose flour conversion to fresh milled flour worked perfectly. Just a bit more liquid (milk) and a little less flour and they turned out gooey and delicious. See my previous post for the AP flour to fresh milled flour conversion trick I use. I for sure will be keeping these rolls in the rotation. Again, I left the frosting off to attempt to keep the carb count lower for our T1D kiddo. I used a total of 200g of active sourdough starter to make these…
