Cheddar Beer Bread (with optional sourdough discard)

Cheddar Beer bread. As a cheese lover, I should’ve heard of this earlier.

Alcoholic beer isn’t necessary. It will work well with non alcoholic beer or evenContinue reading “Cheddar Beer Bread (with optional sourdough discard)”

Feel free to add inContinue reading “Sourdough Discard Matcha Liege Waffles (Recipe)”

It isn’t as well known perhaps because it feels more like breakfast than a snack but for me it’s everything. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snack, supper… why not? UnlikeContinue reading “Sourdough Ox-Tongue Pastry 牛舌饼 (Recipe)”

Sourdough Discard Scallion Layered Pancake (Recipe)

Scallion pancakes are a common street food in Taiwan and China. The layering, fragrant oil and an almost ridiculous amount of chopped scallions make it a simple but well-appreciated delicious meal on its own. The Taiwanese tend to roll the dough out thinner while the Chinese prefer a thicker dough. I think both taste great.Continue reading “Sourdough Discard Scallion Layered Pancake (Recipe)”
