<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nI am always looking for new ways to use my sourdough starter. When I found this recipe in an old pamphlet from The University of Alaska, Fairbanks Cooperative Extension<\/a> I was intrigued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The bread is a simple casserole bread that adds fresh orange juice and zest for a beautiful color and a nice sweet citrusy complement to the tangy sourdough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Long before sourdough became trendy it was the leavener of choice for pioneers, miners and other homesteaders. None of this \"hydration\" talk or \"discarding\" starter nonsense (throw away food?! heaven forbid!). You used it to cook with regularly and always saved a bit to keep the starter going for the next recipe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not have sourdough starter ask around to see if you can get some. Sourdough fans love to share starter, knowledge and recipes. Or you can make your own (it will take a week or more) with these easy instructions from my blogging buddy Erin at The Spiffy Cookie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Casserole Bread is a wonderfully simple no-knead bread. Instead of kneading for 5-10 minutes like traditional yeast bread recipes you simply beat it with a mixer like quick bread. You don't add the extra flour you would need for traditional kneading making it lighter overall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It still goes through the double rise like most yeast bread recipes to develop that sturdy crumb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The term \"casserole bread\" is used since it is normally baked in a casserole dish. Or, if you keep your casserole pans at the back of the cupboard and don't feel like crawling back to get them (like me!) use a loaf pan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can use any type of orange you prefer. Blood oranges will give the bread a pinkish hue, Cara Cara will be brighter orange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Or you could even try tangerines, lemon, lime, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you need more ideas for your sourdough starter?
