Ingredients
Scale
Peach Filling
- 4 ripe peaches, peeled and sliced into wedges
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice (natural)
- 1/3 cup brown sugar (natural)
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon (natural)
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (natural)
- 1 teaspoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent
Sourdough Crust
- 1 cup active sourdough starter
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free baking blend for gluten-free option)
- 1/2 cup plant-based butter, chilled
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (natural)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Peach Filling: Peel and slice ripe peaches into even wedges. In a bowl, toss the peaches with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce, and natural gelling agent. Set aside to macerate while the peaches release their juices and absorb the spices.
- Make the Sourdough Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the active sourdough starter, flour, chilled plant-based butter, apple cider vinegar, and salt. Mix until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms. Chill the dough briefly to make it easier to roll and shape.
- Assemble the Cobbler: Transfer the macerated peach filling evenly into a baking dish. Roll out the chilled sourdough dough into rustic pieces or a full sheet and drape it over the peaches, leaving some gaps if desired to expose the fruit.
- Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cobbler for 40 to 45 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling bubbles. Let cool slightly to allow the filling to set before serving.
Notes
- Use very ripe peaches for the best natural sweetness and juiciness.
- Ensure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly for optimal crust texture.
- Chill the dough before rolling to achieve a flakier crust.
- Keep an eye on baking time as ovens may vary; look for bubbling edges and a golden crust.
- Allow the cobbler to rest for at least 15 minutes to thicken the filling and enhance flavors.
