Description

Enjoy the rich, tangy flavor of sourdough in these quick bread recipes. Perfect for those who love sourdough but don’t want to wait for long fermentation times. These easy, no-knead recipes are great for breakfast, snacks, or sandwiches.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup sourdough starter (discard or active)
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 1 cup buttermilk or whole milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a loaf pan or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together sourdough starter, honey, buttermilk, and melted butter.
  4. Gradually combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
  5. Fold in any optional add-ins like cheese, herbs, or nuts.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
  • For extra tangy flavor, let the batter sit for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Add cinnamon and raisins for a sweet version of this bread.
