If you are interested in baking bread, you are likely familiar with sourdough, a bread with a unique sour flavor. This is due to the sourdough starter. This starter is a mixture of flour and water with natural yeasts and bacteria from the air.

However, did you know that there are many uses for sourdough starter other than bread? To learn more about recipes using sourdough starter, check out this simple guide!

Why Is Sourdough Starter so Useful?

When it comes to food, ingredients that have been aged correctly are often the best tasting. This applies to items including cheese, wine, steaks, and much more. Microbes being carefully fermented are responsible for many amazing flavors.

Rather than having to age your food after it is made, sourdough starters speed up the process. Your starter will turn any dish with complex carbs into a medley of fermented flavors. This leaves you with better tasting and healthier versions of your favorite foods that will impress your friends and family.

Uses for Sourdough Starter: Waffles and Pancakes

While many people are happy to make waffles and pancakes from mixes or reheat frozen version, making your own is always tastier. If you use your sourdough starter to help form the base of waffle or pancake batter, you will be amazed at the results. Your waffle or pancake breakfast will be much fluffier and have a much richer depth of flavor.

Uses for Sourdough Starter: Cinnamon Rolls

While it might seem like a bad idea to put a sourdough starter in something sweet, you should consider giving it a go. By creating a sour backdrop to combat the overwhelming sweetness, sourdough cinnamon rolls are complex and flavorful. By taking a little to time to let your dough ferment, your taste buds will thank you.

Uses for Sourdough Starter: Pizza Dough

Pizza is a trendy dish around the world and has delighted many devoted fans and foodies. Anyone who has made pizza at home could rely on regular store-bought pizza dough. However, if you have a desire to kick things up a notch, you should consider using a sourdough starter for your next pizza pie.

By adding your starter to your pizza dough, you will see several benefits. Not only will the dough rise faster, but the dough will also be tastier and easier to work with.

Uses for Sourdough Starter: Muffins

Whether being eaten as a compact breakfast or enjoyed as a snack, muffins are tasty and easy to make. If you want to step up your muffin game, consider using a sourdough starter. You can enjoy fluffy, tender muffins without the need for buttermilk.

Uses for Sourdough Starter: Compost

While a sourdough starter can be used to add flavor and variety to a huge number of dishes, you can also use it to help the environment. By adding any leftover starter to your compost bin, you can help speed up the breakdown of its contents. Even when you need to toss your starter, it helps in unexpected ways.

The Uses for Sourdough Starter Are Almost Endless

The uses for Sourdough starter can improve your baking in so many ways. To add flavor and health benefits to your dishes, get your starter fermenting today! Check out our website today for more articles like this!
