Sourdough Discard Banana Muffins with Walnut Streusel

Sat, 30 Nov 2024 09:00:00 +0000

Anyone who keeps a sourdough starter knows the small, recurring guilt of the discard jar. Every time you feed the starter you tip away a portion to keep it healthy, and unless you have a plan, that perfectly good fermented flour goes down the drain. These muffins are my favourite answer to that problem. They take the two most common things lurking in a baker’s kitchen, sourdough discard and a few brown bananas, and turn them into a tray of tender, gently tangy muffins crowned with a craggy walnut streusel. Nothing wasted, and breakfast sorted.

No-Knead Overnight Sourdough Loaf with Roasted Garlic and Rosemary

There is a particular kind of smugness that comes from pulling a sourdough loaf out of the oven, and I have learned to lean into it. This one earns the swagger honestly: a slow overnight ferment that does almost all the work for you, blistered crust, an open and chewy crumb, and tucked all the way through it the sweet, mellow hum of roasted garlic and the resinous note of rosemary. It smells, on the day you bake it, like the best decision you have made all week.

Sourdough Discard Crackers with Sesame and Nigella Seeds

Every sourdough baker keeps a small jar of guilt in the fridge. It is the discard, the portion of starter you pour off before each feed, and for the longest time I treated it like a chore: tip it down the sink, rinse, repeat, feel vaguely wasteful. Then I started turning it into crackers, and now I almost look forward to discard day. These are thin, shatteringly crisp, freckled with sesame and nigella, and they cost essentially nothing because the main ingredient was destined for the bin.
