3/4 c organic cane sugar1/2 c butter or coconut oil2 large browned bananas, mashed1 egg1 c sourdough starter1 tsp vanilla extract1 1/2 c unbleached all purpose flour1 tsp baking powder1/2 tsp baking soda1/2 tsp salt3/4 c chopped walnuts or chocolate chips, optional
Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
Cream together butter and sugar.
Step 2
Add mashed banana, egg, and vanilla and beat until light and fluffy.
Step 3
Add 1/4 c starter and mix well with your hands until incorporated. Depending on the hydration of your starter, you will need to add a little more until the dough forms a ball.
Step 4
Separate the dough into two equal parts and flatten into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 3-6 hours.
Step 5
When ready to make your pie, remove the dough and roll out with a rolling pin. I recently purchased a rolling pin cover and it transformed my pie making this year. I also really loved rolling them out on my silicon baking mat, it made transferring them a lot easier!
Step 6
Step 7
Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned. Cool and fill as desired.
Kels, what size loaf pan do you use for this recipe? I have several different sizes and always struggle with which one is standard for a cake bread recipe.
I did these in my cast iron ones which are kind of a funny size – 8.5x5x3″ but I have made it in a 9×5 before and it is great!
Where’s the sourdough? What changes do I need to make to include sourdough?
Ha. I have a lot of non-sourdough recipes on this blog as well. I have tried to alter this one to make it sourdough but the texture wasn’t very great. I will work on it for you!
