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 were tripled the amount asked for in the recipe. Secret time, not only does this make great cereal, it makes for a great grab and go snack. Love it!
The flakey maple and pecan sourdough discard scones also turned out amazing. I used 240g of fresh milled flour but probably could have used closer to the 280g that the recipe called for. I say this because the dough was pretty sticky and “wet”. A bit more flour likely would have resolved this. I decided to press on and bake them as they were. They ended up great and the glaze was amazing. Thank goodness for my bench scraper so I could easily get the scones onto the baking sheet! This recipe used 1/2 cup of my discard.
Now, the absolute best part of the baking weekend…Crumbl lemon frosted sourdough cookies. Talk about a treat. I used 340g of fresh milled flour and 47g of active starter. The lemon zest and lemon juice really made these cookies delicious. The cookies alone were awesome, but then, add the frosting and it was a pretty good copycat to the Crumbl lemon frosted cookie. Even my type 1 diabetic kiddo said “these actually taste like the Crumbl cookie”. That’s a win in my book.
All of these goods were consumed by my T1D today. His blood sugars were stable and he had no huge spikes. Granted, we dosed appropriately for these products before he ate them, but even when we would dose appropriately with all purpose flour products, he would still spike. This is the major difference that keeps us coming back to fresh milled products day after day. So impressed.
