Description

These light and fluffy sourdough discard doughnuts are a delicious way to use your extra sourdough starter. They are soft, airy, and have a delightful tangy flavor, perfect for breakfast or a sweet treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 cups (280g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240g) sourdough discard (unfed, 100% hydration)
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) whole milk, lukewarm
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Powdered sugar or glaze, for topping

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: Combine lukewarm milk and a pinch of sugar in a small bowl. Sprinkle yeast over the top and let sit for 5-8 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk sourdough discard, melted butter, egg, sugar, and salt. Add the activated yeast mixture and stir. Gradually add flour until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Knead and first rise: Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  4. Shape the doughnuts: Punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out doughnuts using a doughnut cutter or round cutters. Re-roll scraps as needed.
  5. Second rise: Place doughnuts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover lightly and let rise for another 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  6. Fry the doughnuts: Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry 2-3 doughnuts at a time for 1-2 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
  7. Finish and serve: While warm, dust with powdered sugar or dip in glaze. Enjoy your light and fluffy sourdough discard doughnuts.

Notes

  • Ensure your sourdough discard is unfed and at room temperature for optimal flavor.
  • Maintain a steady oil temperature of 350°F (175°C) for even browning.
  • Fry in batches to prevent overcrowding the pot and ensure perfect texture.
  • The second rise is crucial for achieving a light, airy crumb in your sourdough discard doughnuts.
