Hi <<First Name>>,
I’ve been experimenting with the sourdough starter to make sourdough vegetable muffins. What a hit they are! These muffins are light and tasty - delicious, warm or cold.
They can be served with soup or salad, spread with cultured butter or popped just as they are into a lunch-box. A very quick, delicious, easily digested food with a Vitamin B boost from the fermentation process.
SOURDOUGH VEGETABLE MUFFINS
Ingredients:
½ cup sourdough starter
1½ cups plain flour
some filtered water (just enough to make a stiff dough)
1 cup cooked vegetable combination
dried herbs to suit
¼ cup olive oil
2 eggs
1 level teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
 
Left: Note the bubbles after 24 hours of fermenting the starter and flour.
Right: A moist airy dough after 24 hours.
Method:
- Combine the starter and flour. Add water to make a stiff dough. Place in glass container and seal. Leave on kitchen bench covered with a tea towel for between 12 and 24 hours. You can use it when you see bubbles in the dough.
- To the bubbly dough, add the olive oil, eggs, salt and baking soda. Stir to combine gently. Fold in the vegetables and herbs.
- Spoon into silicone muffin pan or greased muffin pan or muffin cases.
- Bake in the oven, set at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes. The muffins will rise a little and brown. Remove when a skewer comes out clean or when you touch the top and it bounces back.
- Allow to cool before turning out onto a wire tray.
 
Left: Ready to go into the oven.
Right: Ready to eat!!
Makes approx. 12.
Store in a sealed Tupperware container in the fridge for a week. Can also be frozen.
Vegetable combinations: caramelized onion and eggplant, corn niblets, capsicum, spinach, sun dried tomato.
