Monday feels like the perfect day for a sourdough

Monday feels like the perfect day for a sourdough empanada recipe, doesn’t it? These beauties are meant to be easy and versatile, utilizing sourdough discard and leftovers, and transforming them into a savory treat. You can fill these little hand pies with just about anything, and that warm flavorful sourdough crust will make it sing!

- Mix 2 tbsp starter (can be past peak, perfectly fresh, or straight from the fridge) OR 1 tsp dry yeast will work too.
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups Maine Grains Organic Sifted All-Purpose Flour

Mix all ingredients, then knead the dough for a couple of minutes. Place in a bowl and cover with a damp cloth to maintain moisture, let the dough ferment on the counter for 6-8 hours.

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Separate the dough into 15 equal sections. Roll the sections into circles and fill with a tablespoon of leftovers, veggies, ground beef - add hard boiled egg or beans - endless options here.
Fold and crimp the edges with a fork, pressing as you work to make sure they’re closed. Brush with egg or butter if you like.

Arrange empanadas on a lined baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, until golden.

“O hushed October morning mild, Thy leaves have

“O hushed October morning mild,
Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow's wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.
The crows above the forest call;
Tomorrow they may form and go.
O hushed October morning mild,
Begin the hours of this day slow.
Make the day seem to us less brief.
Hearts not averse to being beguiled,
Beguile us in the way you know.
Release one leaf at break of day;
At noon release another leaf;
One from our trees, one far away."
- Robert Frost, October

Our Organic oat groats, cracked oats and rolled oats make quite the trio! Oats are such an incredible food, with truly limitless culinary applications.
For example, our friends at @rolling_fatties use our groats in their crave-worthy burritos as a local alternative to rice. Brilliant.
