Discard

Starter removed before feeding, great for recipes.

The portion of sourdough starter removed before feeding. It's still full of flavor (though not as active) and can be used in recipes like pancakes, crackers, and quick breads.

Henry's notes from the bench

  • Keep a jar in the fridge for discard recipes. It's basically free flavor!
