Description
A delightful lemon-infused sourdough loaf that combines tangy flavors with a soft crumb and crispy crust, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup butter, melted (or coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare Your Starter: Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the sourdough starter, eggs, melted butter, lemon juice, and zest until well combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a lumpy batter is perfect.
- Bake: Pour the batter into a prepared loaf pan and bake at 350°F (175°C) for about 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For an extra kick, consider adding poppy seeds or rosemary for a fragrant twist!
