My spouse was gifted some sourdough starter. While I love bread, maybe too much, I also try to hit about 120g of protein a day and I just don't know if daily focaccia is going to help me in this endeavor

Any ideas?

Starter is starter - you can use whole wheat flour from there to add protein, and then on top of that, look at seeded loaf recipes with whole wheat berries, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax, whatever!

Yes! Sourdough pancakes can include a lot of protein. I use a combination of ww + almond flour, oatmeal, flax/chia, eggs, chopped nuts. Cherish that starter!

I'm not sure how much protein you can add but King Arthur Flour has a few blogs about what to do with sourdough starter beyond bread. * https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2016/05/12/sweet-sourdough-baking https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2014/07/27/excess-sourdough-5-tasty-ways-to-use-it-up * I've found that adding a few (2-3) scoops of unflavored protein powder never really hurts anything but I generally know what the consistency of cake/scones is supposed to look like.

You can make pizza dough with sourdough starter and get the protein through toppings. Here is a recipe by Paul Hollywood for sourdough pizza, with a little yeast thrown in to help it rise. "Strong white bread flour" is the same as bread flour, in case the "strong" throws you off.

There is regional soup made from sourdough starter, eggs, mushrooms, potatoes and some more ingredients. If you want I will try to find and translate some recipes.

I've never heard of that before, that sounds interesting. My spouse loves soup!

[-] plactagonic@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

I don't have time for translation right now if you want to try it feed it through Google translate.

If it doesn't work I will be online in about 12 hours so feel free to ask in dm or in this thread.

Thank you- we'll see if it works out. I think there's some recipes in English I found googling around

[-] sean@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I'm intrigued!

[-] milo_bytes@pawb.social 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks everybody! We're off to the store to get some things and try some stuff ☺️

I don't know much about baking (it's really more my spouse's passion) but I want to learn

A sandwich, stromboli, calzone, pizza, little rolls as a side of meat, sourdough pankcakes/waffles/donuts, etc.

Pretty much anything thats made with dough. Sky is the limit. In terms of a high protein food though bread flour has 4g for every 110 calories which isnt awful which isnt terrible and I dont know how yeast impacts protein content but you may wanna add a protein shake or some chicken breast to your day if you got that caloric goal to meet.

French toast with peanut butter on top.
