Description

Delightful chocolate sourdough discard bread that transforms leftover starter into a rich, moist treat with a balance of tangy and sweet flavors.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup water or milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Add in vegetable oil, water or milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  4. Pour the batter into the greased loaf pan and spread it evenly.
  5. Bake for 45-55 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  6. Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for smoother batter. Sift cocoa powder to avoid clumps.
