Tips & Tricks (5)
- Discard Ripeness Hack 🍌Use sourdough discard that is at least 4-5 days old for the best flavor complexity and fermentation in your banana bread.
- Banana Maturity Matters 🟤Choose bananas that are completely brown and extremely soft to maximize natural sweetness and ensure a moist, tender crumb.
- Chocolate Chip Distribution Trick 🍫Toss chocolate chips in a tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
- Sourdough Activation Technique 🌾Let the sourdough starter mix with wet ingredients for 30-60 minutes before adding dry ingredients to enhance fermentation and develop deeper flavors.
- Moisture Preservation Hack 💦Cover the banana bread with aluminum foil halfway through baking to prevent over-browning and lock in moisture.
