Gummy sourdough pancakes are usually due to cooking issues. Be sure to fully cook the pancakes all the way through.

Is sourdough bread vegan? Yes, sourdough bread is generally vegan-friendly as it has very few ingredients, all of which are vegan – bread flour, water salt, and sometimes sugar.

Here's a list of types that are commonly vegan: Sourdough. A type of fermented bread made from flour, water, salt, and sometimes commercial baker's yeast. Though uncommon, some varieties use milk instead of water, making them non-vegan.

Simply stir together your favorite dairy-free milk (we like almond or oat milk) with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes, and the mixture should curdle slightly from the acidity. It won't thicken quite like buttermilk, but it has a similar effect in recipes!

Why are my pancakes rubbery and chewy? The most common cause for pancakes turning out dense is over mixing.

Try less water with your flour. Uneven heat in your oven can be the culprit – if you loaf is nicely golden on the outside but gummy or moist in the inside, it's baking too quickly on the outside. Trying reducing the temperature you're baking at and bake for a bit longer.

Here are some options for working with wet, sticky over fermented sourdough. If it's only a little over fermented and you're still able to handle it, try to shape it into a batard or boule using wet hands. Rice flour is also the key here (just be sure not to get it on the inside of the dough or it won't stay together).

That means it contains no animal products other than tiny lactobacilli bacteria, which most vegans would deem okay to eat. However, other sourdough recipes do include animal products – such as milk, yoghurt or egg – to add moisture to the loaf.

A – A very common problem but easy to fix: To stop pancakes from sticking, make sure you properly grease your pan – use either butter or oil and spread it evenly with some kitchen roll or your spatula.

It's too hot

One of the most common ways to ensure your pancakes stick to the pan is to use too hot a pan. A pan that is too hot will cause butter to brown before the other ingredients start to cook. This will often cause it to stick to the bottom of the pan before the rest of the pancake has actually cooked.

The Secret To Pancakes That Will Never Stick To The Pan: Simply cook the pancakes inside the oven instead of on the stovetop – they need no flipping, will never stick, and can be easily removed with a spatula when they're done. This trick has worked with every pancake recipe I've tried so far.

Sift your flour and fold in to the batter using a metal spoon as a wooden spoon can crush the little air pockets that are responsible for the fluffiest of pancakes. Don't batter your batter! Over whisking will lead to chewy instead of fluffy pancakes.
