I have never understood the specialty brownie pans that make every brownie a beach piece. I know intellectually that some people prefer crispy, crunchy brownie tails … but it isn't it essentially a fact that the Fudgi Center is the best bite?
For anyone like me – those of us who want our brownies to be thick, dense, and tender as fudge – we have a new recipe for Ultra-foody brownies. And the secret is Sourceech discarding.
A half cup of discard starter in the dough does three things. One: It contributes to that decadent tissue. Because the starter contains both flour and water, there is no need to add additional flour to the recipe, only cocoa powder. “The starter acts as the flour,” says Sarah Jampel, who developed the recipe. “It provides structure, so you don't have to add any other flour. And on top of this flour is all pre-hydrated, so it is not sucking moisture out of all the other ingredients in this recipe, making brownies that are really, Really fadgi. “So Fudgy, in fact, that Sarah recommends to keep them in the freezer for long-term storage, where they will remain soft enough for a frozen bite. “They would make big brownie ice cream sandwiches!” She adds.

Adding flour in the form of sourdough discard also has an advantage over using flour straight from the bag: in sourdogen-forming proteins are broken down by the ferkmentation. When stared in the dough, the fermented flour does not develop a strong network of smoothen stands, so the brownies remain soft rather than beautiful chai or Sofye.
Secondly, the starter is a practical solution: it makes the dough that much easier to mix. Because it combines flour and liquids in one, it reap overall ingredient list. Not to mention, this recipe is a great way to use any excess discard, especially if you have maxed on the amount of Sourdough pancakes And Pizza crust You can make. “It's the easiest brownie!” Guites Sarah.
And finally, it is the flavor. As most baked goods made with starter, adding a hole from Sidough provides Suble complexity and weight to the overall flavor. Here, there is a small cream cheese-like tangen that offsets some of the chocolate's heavy richness. “The brownies have an educated taste, as if you use cultivated butter in the dough,” reports Sarah. She also adds: “The flavor otherwise based on how old your starter is. If your starter is old, the tongi flavories have a little acidic, if you have fightered your Starter recently, the brownies have a less pronounced tang; They could also come a little kakier.

This said, the brownies appeal to everyone, Surofo fans or otherwise. “I gave a package to my neighbors, without reference they were made with Saurdo,” says Sarah. “They text to say that they were the best brownies they have ever had – and they didn't even mention the sourdough. It is great if you know that it is there, but ultimately, these will be appealing for everyone.”
