The bread uses no oil or butter, but was still very moist. The chocolate chips and strawberry add a nice touch, but can be...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/05/sourdough-banana-muffins.html/feed 1 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html#comments Fri, 08 Apr 2016 23:42:11 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=22235 Maintaining sourdough starter is not hard, but finding recipes that use it seems to be the hard part. When I came across this pancake recipe I was really thrilled because now I can use the starter to make pancakes and kids seem to be more interested in pancakes than with bread. This is also very...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/04/strawberry-banana-sourdough-pancakes.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/sourdough-crackers.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/sourdough-crackers.html#comments Fri, 19 Feb 2016 03:14:22 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=21787 I love to bake bread and was very eager to try out the sourdough starter that my friend offered. After baking a bunch of sourdough recipes I have been mostly dumping the starter and feeding it every week since fitting in the long rising time seems to be hard right now. So, when I saw this...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2016/02/sourdough-crackers.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/08/sourdough-kefir-waffles.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/08/sourdough-kefir-waffles.html#comments Fri, 28 Aug 2015 03:47:59 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20301 I have recently started experimenting kefir and sour dough. Sometimes we do end up with a ton of kefir. While looking around for recipes to use up the extra kefir, my friend passed over this recipe to me. The waffles turned out to be crispy on the outside and instantly became the hit.I served the...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/08/sourdough-kefir-waffles.html/feed 2 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/06/sourdough-focaccia-with-rosemary-and-garlic.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2015/06/sourdough-focaccia-with-rosemary-and-garlic.html#comments Tue, 30 Jun 2015 18:14:06 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=20654 Summer has been quite busy so far and so many things including updates to the blog have taken a back seat. Even with the zillion number of things going on, I could not resist baking this bread ever since my friend Rachel mentioned to me.

For a change I decided to try these biscuits and needless to say they were a total hit with kids. When using sourdough you have to plan ahead since the dough takes a while to rise.

The days are packed already and adding even small things scares me . But, when my friend Rachel offered me some sourdough starter, it was as if my long time dream came true.
