<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhere can I get sourdough starter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
My first recommendation for sourcing sourdough starter is to ask any of your local friends or family if they have one and are willing to share. The sourdough will be ready to use much faster than if you try to make it yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you want to start from scratch, Sourdough Home<\/a> has one of the best tutorials on starting and maintaining sourdough I have found. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I hate the term discard. Why would you throw away delicious sourdough starter even if it is inactive? <\/p>\n\n\n\n But, yes, you can use discard, or inactive sourdough for this recipe. The leavening actually comes from the baking soda. The more active the sourdough is, the fluffier the donut should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don't have gingerbread spice blend, you can make your own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Double the amounts if you want to make enough for the donuts plus gingerbread spice sugar for dusting the tops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These taste the best when fried in oil. I hate frying because of the mess, but if done right they only sit in the oil for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I tried brushing them with oil and baking in an air fryer and the result was rather mediocre. They didn't seem to rise properly. If you try it and get great results, please share your technique in the comments below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p><\/div>\nCan you use sourdough discard to make donuts?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
