Adding Sourdough to Any Recipe

Substitution Ratio Keep in mind that 7 grams of commercial yeast (1  packet) is equivalent to 100 grams (~1/2  cup) of sourdough starter. Adjusting Yeast-Based Recipes To substitute discard or active starter in recipes calling for commercial yeast: Omit the yeast. Subtract 50 grams of flour (a scant 1/2 cup) and 50 grams of liquid (about 3 tablespoons) from the recipe. Add 100 grams (about 1/2 cup) of *active* sourdough starter. Adjusting Non-Yeasted Recipes In recipes that don't call for yeast, like banana bread or pancakes: Subtract 50 grams of flour (a scant 1/2 cup) and 50 grams of liquid (about 3 tablespoons). Add 100 grams of starter or discard (about 1/2 cup). Adjusting Low or No Liquid Recipes For recipes like chocolate chip cookies that don't contain a lot of liquid: Get creative by eliminating water by browning the butter. Alternatively, consider using only egg yolks instead of egg whites to reduce the water even further. Everyday Homemade | enwnutrition.com
