Frosted Sourdough Sugar Cookie Bars

[shoku-and-awe]

Amazing sourdough discard crackers recipe that I stole in the early pandemic from Makiko Itoh (Just Bento/Just Hungry)! These are incredible! And easy, and versatile. They also keep a surprisingly long time in the fridge, if you can refrain from eating them all.

Bring these to potlucks/picnics with red pepper hummus and/or baba ganoush. It's delicious, veggie friendly but everybody loves it, it can sit out safely, and it's snacky but also filling enough that if your friend says Thanksgiving dinner is at 3 but now it's going on 7 and the turkey’s still in the oven and everyone has been drinking since noon, you might actually save a life. Tips and variations behind the cut.

Flavorings: - Fresh rosemary and butter (the ultimate crackers of all time) - Garlic cayenne (equal parts) and olive oil. - Pizza: Add tomato sauce & parm, reduce fat & liquid. - Sesame seeds (and sesame oil? I have only used vegetable oil but it was still very good) - Everything bagel seasoning: How have I not done this yet??? - Za'atar seasoning: Same! - Nigella seeds: Trying today (by request of my mom!) - Chia seeds: Not worth it! Maybe try in combo with other seeds?

Technique: Before baking, I puncture the dough all over with a fork (which stops the crackers from puffing up) and cut it with a pizza cutter. (I always forget that the recipe says to score, not cut.) Also, I've started to roll the dough out in my pasta maker, which is quicker, and also makes them more even, which means they're harder to burn. Prettier edges too.

Liquid: I am not sure I've ever actually added any water? I don't know if my discard is unusually wet or what. But it's fine without water.

Temp./Timing: This probably does not apply if you have a real oven, but if you're cooking in batches in a small oven, be careful later on. The temperature builds up and you need to adjust the cooking time or later batches will burn.

Spending my Sunday enjoying the little things. Wearing my cozy cute nightgown/robe set from Walmart. Savoring a delicious cup of coffee. Making a pizza dough with sourdough discard.

I went out with my old coworkers yesterday and this time there were only a couple “you’re not drinking!?” moments. This is also the 3rd time we have gotten together, it’s always a bar/brewery. I think they’re finally taking my “I’m not drinking because it messes with my stomach too much” seriously. Even though in truth I just don’t want to drink anymore. But no one really gets that excuse.

Did I stay up until 1 am when I start work at 7am to finish knitting this lace shawl..........Yes I did. Only minor sleep regrets.

First project I've made for myself in years. Interested to see how blocking will do as I've never truly blocked a project.

Also experimenting with chocolate sauce in baking, made sourdough discard chocolate scones that turned out halfway decent for modifying a recipe I've never used.

GOOD EVENING TO EVERYONE WITH A SOURDOUGH STARTER PSA TO MAKE SCALLION PANCAKES

Water down your discard until you have a pancake batter consistency, add a pinch of salt and as many green onions as sparks joy. Fry them up in a pan using a neutral oil (I used olive) and eat either on their own or with other savory toppings (would make a good wrap now that I think about it)

Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

[shoku-and-awe]

Lazy Sunday morning yesterday. Tried out my new waffle maker (only ¥500!) and enjoyed the sunshine with only the cutest dog in the world.

I tried this recipe for sourdough discard waffles and it was absolutely delicious. Not noticeably sour but complex enough to make them very moreish. And it uses a decent amount of discard too!

I halved the recipe because that’s usually the move when making American baked goods in a Japanese kitchen. The waffle maker is 13x11-cm (which the packaging proclaims is “BIG SIZE!!”) and a half batch made 5 waffles, which is about right for 2 sleepy adults. The recipe doesn’t need any modifications—just try not to overfill, especially if your secondhand waffle maker doesn’t come with instructions.

Sourdough Discard Crackers

Ever since I shared some sourdough discard crackers over on my instagram I have had a zillion questions about them. If you haven’t jumped into the sourdough craze you are definitely missing out. I will admit that at first it seemed like a LOT of work and time, but it really isn’t. I mean how much time do we spend mindlessly scrolling when we could spend a tiny bit of time eliminating garbage from…
