Banana bread with sourdough starter

Sourdough Banana Bread

The most delicious and moist sourdough banana bread is a simple and classic quick-bread.
PREP TIME15 minutes
COOK TIME50 minutes
TOTAL TIME1 hour 5 minutes


1⁄2 cup melted butter
1 cup dark brown sugar
3 ripe bananas (350g)
2 large eggs
1⁄2 cup sourdough starter discard
1 tsp vanilla
Dry
Ingredients2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt



Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Lightly grease a 9×5 loaf pan with butter.

Combine dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt) well in a medium bowl.



In a stand mixer or bowl, mix melted butter and brown sugar for five minutes until light and fluffy.

Add in eggs, vanilla, mashed bananas, and sourdough starter.

Fold in dry ingredients a bit at a time until just incorporated. Be careful not to over-mix.

Gently fold in any other add-ins you would like (pecans, walnuts, and chocolate chips or chunks, etc.).

Pour into a greased pan. You could also line your loaf pan with parchment paper.

Bake for 50-60 minutes. Test bread at 50 minutes with a toothpick or cake tester.

Allow to cool in the pan for one hour.
Long Fermented Directions



12-24 hours before you plan to make banana bread, mix together sourdough starter, melted butter, eggs, and flour. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and allow to ferment at room temperature for 6 hours. Put the batter in the fridge and allow it to ferment for another 6-18 hours.

The next day, preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Using a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, add brown sugar, vanilla, mashed bananas, salt, baking powder and baking soda to mixing bowl.

I highly recommend using a stand mixer because the fermented dough will be stiff and difficult to combine with the other ingredients by hand.

Set on low to medium speed until completely combined.

Pour into loaf pan and bake for 50-60 minutes.

Allow to cool in the pan for one hour.

Swiss Chicken Casserole

This was an  easy & tasty casserole, My girls also loved it, which makes it a win win!  I served it with green beans and buttermilk biscuits, which was a great combination.  I have to admit that I forgot to buy the cream of chicken so I had to use the cream of mushroom that I had in the pantry.  I think it was still great!  6 skinless, boneless chicken breasts 6 slices Swiss cheese 1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup 1/4 cup milk 2 cups herb-seasoned stuffing mix          (Pepperidge Farm Herb Blend is good) 1/4 cup butter Preheat oven to 350.  Arrange chicken in 12x8x2 baking dish.  Top with Swiss cheese slices.  Combine soup and milk and stir well.  Spoon mixture over chicken and sprinkle with stuffing mix.  Drizzle butter or margarine over crumbs.  Bake for 50 minutes and enjoy!

Moravian Chicken Pie

Chicken pie is a hands down favorite in my house.  We never have to tell the girls to finish their dinner.  This is one of those rare meals that we can all enjoy and eat in peace!  I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.  A few variations that we have done...my husband loves to include vegetables in every meal so he enjoys vegetables on top of the chicken.  It is good too, but i prefer the plain and then have the veggies on the side.  It is also good with mashed potatoes on the side.  I also always serve a side of chicken gravy. Pie Crust (if you dare it is delicious but the store bought is always quicker) 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 3/4 cup shortening 6 -8 tablespoons cold water Filling 2 1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon ground pepper 3 tablespoons flour 1 cup chicken broth 1 -2 tablespoon butter, cut in pieces (optional) Crumb Topping 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 tablespoon butter For Pie Crust, combine flour and salt in a
