I generally ...How did the sugar free buns turn out? I generally strip the sugar content way way back as I find most recipes over do it a bit. Sourdough banana bread sounds nice. I added some starter to a pear crumble cake recently, which turned out well. The cake itself kept really well. So many things you can do with the starter. I'm often ending up with a bit of excess as I'm not quite in a groove with my feeding and baking while I'm experimenting with different loaves.Grow Gather Enjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069999391136930106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239453686450736506.post-74785708128205829052018-04-03T11:56:19.019+10:002018-04-03T11:56:19.019+10:00That mix of fruits and ginger sounds like a good c...That mix of fruits and ginger sounds like a good combo.

That's a win on the hot cross bun drive though - support the school and still enjoy a bit of seasonal baked goods. Hope you had a nice Easter.Grow Gather Enjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069999391136930106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239453686450736506.post-45047744515142665432018-04-02T08:53:32.615+10:002018-04-02T08:53:32.615+10:00Your little hot cross buns look lovely!

Clearly a lot of work to do in the bread-baking department!! Our son's school did a hot cross bun drive this year and I got a dozen, just in time for Easter. I don't buy them any earlier than that just as we don't eat Easter eggs until the Sunday morning, no matter that the supermarkets stock them as soon as their Xmas range disappears from shelves.

Not sourdough, just the Old Fashioned variety! They came out really well. I only ended up using half the suggested amount of fruit as it looked like heaps but upon tasting them realised I could have splashed out with more. It cost no extra $ to make as I just used what I had in the pantry - dates, crystallised ginger and Persian barberries, so a sweet and tangy mix.Pipistrellohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07904613196101010022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239453686450736506.post-10654789865967798282018-03-31T22:25:51.187+11:002018-03-31T22:25:51.187+11:00I haven't made the sourdough ones as yet but d...I haven't made the sourdough ones as yet but did make sugar free ones last year. Yours look great and good on you for experimenting. I have made sourdough banana bread once which is the only experiment I have undertaken with my starter apart from the two loaves I bake every week. I don't have any starter left over after feeding mine as it is all used with the method I use.
