How to transform sourdough discard into rich banana bread
In short: Stop throwing away your sourdough starter. This guide demonstrates how to use leftover discard to create a moist, flavorful loaf of banana bread, complete with optional toasted walnuts.
The recipe utilizes 175 mL of degassed sourdough starter to repurpose discard that would otherwise be cast off. By combining the starter with mashed ripe bananas, softened butter, and sugar, you can produce a single 8-inch by 4-inch loaf.
The process involves whisking dry ingredients like all-purpose or whole wheat flour with baking soda and salt, then incorporating them into a creamed butter and sugar base. Once baked at 180ºC for approximately one hour, the result is a loaf that yields about 16 slices.
