Once I mastered my very own sourdough starter, a whole new world opened up for me. While my forte is a classic boule, I also love making sourdough discard tortillas, fried chicken with sourdough bread crumbs, or sourdough pancakes on a Saturday morning!
There are many sourdough dinner recipes, but starter is great for dessert recipes, too! Mother's Day is a perfect opportunity to bake some extra special treats to enjoy with your family.
Most of these Mother's Day dessert recipes are actually sourdough discard recipes. So, they are great for beginners and usually don't include a long ferment. Don't worry, then, if this is a last minute decision for you. These recipes can be made quickly and easily!
