A sourdough einkorn cobbler with all the fresh fruits that are prevelent in Summer is the dessert to whip up. Peaches and mullberries seemed like a delicious combination so that is what I put together in this cobbler. Mullberry season is one of my kids favorites as they can pick as many berries as they want with how many trees are in our area. A fruit truck also visited our area, so I purchased some amazingly delicious fresh Georgia peaches.
In the Summer months the sourdough starter also gets active very quickly. The heat and humidity make a great combination for a super quick rising starter. Which means, more recipes to use it in!
Tips on making a delicious cobbler
- Do not worry about peeling the peaches. The skins bake just fine in the cobbler.
- Any berry would work for this recipe, even a mixed berry combination would be lovely.
- Make sure to add the extra 1/4 cup flour to the fruit to thicken it.
- For the cobbler topping I used freshly ground einkorn flour, but store bought will work fine too. You can also substitute all-purpose flour by using only 3/4 cup instead of 1 cup.
