Still in the process of trying to create a sourdough starter, which I'm not sure I will succeed at, but have found some great uses for the sourdough discard that is a byproduct of the starter creating process. Ingredients: 5 oz dark chocolate baking squares 1/4 cup butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 3 eggs 1/2 tsp salt 2/3 cup sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 2 tbsps water 1 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup cocoa powder 1/2 cup sourdough discard 1/2 cup flour (optional) The first time I made these brownies I didn't add any flour and they turned out to be great ooey gooey brownies! The next time I added the 1/2 cup flour and they were more dense. So you decide what kind of brownies you are craving and go for it! The images in the recipe here are from the no-flour version except for the last two at the end of the post which are of the flour added ones. Break the dark chocolate squares into a saucepan and add the butter and oil. Heat on medium until the chocolate is almost melted then remove from heat, stir and set aside. In a mixer bowl beat eggs, salt, sugar and brown sugar together until frothy. Then add the water and vanilla. Mix the cocoa powder (and flour if using) into the egg mixture and then the sourdough discard. And finally add the melted chocolate mixture from the saucepan to the bowl. Blend well. Pour into a lined (with some overhang) 9 X 9" baking pan and bake at 375°F for 30-35 minutes. Cool 20-30 minutes before lifting out of the pan and cutting into 16 squares. No need for icing sugar dusting or frosting with these ones. They're perfect just the way they are! But if you choose to make the brownies with the added flour this is how they turned out. I found that these ones were better off frosted.
