How to make Peach Cobbler with Sourdough Crust

Creating this delightful dessert involves a few straightforward steps. First, you’ll make the peach filling, combining diced fresh peaches with some sugar and lemon juice. Then, a quick dough comes together using flour, baking powder, butter, and your sourdough starter. Once the dough is rolled out, it’s layered over the peaches, and the whole thing is baked until golden and bubbly.

Ingredients

210 g de harina de trigo
100 g de azúcar granulada
2 cucharaditas de polvo de hornear
1/2 cucharadita de sal
113 g de mantequilla sin sal (fría)
100 g de masa madre (fría)
45 g de leche fría (más extra si es necesario)
1.5 kg de duraznos frescos
50 g de azúcar moreno suave
2 cucharadas de harina de trigo
1 cucharadita de extracto de vainilla
1 cucharada de jugo de limón
2 cucharaditas de ralladura de limón
1 cucharadita de canela molida
1 cucharada de azúcar
1/4 cucharadita de canela molida (para la cobertura)

Directions

Primero, precalienta el horno a 180 °C. Comienza por preparar el relleno de durazno: pica los duraznos y mezcla con el azúcar moreno, el jugo de limón, la ralladura y la harina. Déjalo reposar mientras preparas la masa. Para la masa, mezcla la harina, el polvo de hornear, la sal y el azúcar en un tazón. Agrega la mantequilla fría y tritura con un tenedor hasta que la mezcla tenga una textura arenosa. A continuación, incorpora la masa madre y la leche, mezclando hasta que esté bien combinado. Una vez que la masa esté lista, extiéndela sobre la mezcla de duraznos y haz algunos cortes para que el vapor salga durante la cocción. Hornea durante 45-50 minutos o hasta que la cobertura esté dorada. Sirve tibio, como está o con helado.
