Sourdough Discard Recipes

Baking your own sourdough bread, although a time-intensive project, is a great way to produce your own food and bake a perfect loaf of bread the way our ancestors used to bake it. But with all that sourdough baking, comes the waste of the sourdough discard.

Building a strong sourdough starter - a mixture of water and flour that yields natural bacteria and wild yeast, which both give that signature sour flavor and leaven the dough, requires frequent “feeds” of freshwater and flour to encourage active yeast and bacterial growth. During the feeding process, a portion of the starter, known as the “discard” is generally tossed away.

Luckily, there is a way to cut out that waste - by using one of the many delightful recipes that feature the discarded sourdough starter, which include pancakes, biscuits, crackers, waffles, muffins, and many more. The starter adds an incredible flavor to all sorts of baked goods, so we hope you explore our list of sweet and savory recipes that we've gathered here for you and be sure to let us know which ones you liked best.
