What is sourdough discard?
Sourdough discard is the portion of sourdough starter that is removed before feeding it with fresh flour and water. Since a sourdough starter is a living culture of wild yeast and bacteria, it needs regular feeding to stay active. Without discarding some of it, the starter would grow too large and become unmanageable.
While discard is not as active as a fully fed starter, it still has a lot of flavor and can be used in various recipes to add a subtle tang and depth. Instead of throwing it away, you can use it in pancakes, waffles, crackers, cookies, and even pizza dough. Most people store their discard in the fridge and collect it over time for baking projects. Trying these new recipes is a great way to expand your sourdough journey!
Storing sourdough discard properly helps you reduce waste and use it in future recipes. Here are the best ways to store it:
Short-Term Storage (Up to 1 Week)
-
Keep discard in an airtight container (a jar or plastic container works well).
-
Store it in the refrigerator to slow down fermentation.
-
Stir it occasionally to prevent liquid (hooch) from separating.
-
Use it within a week for the best flavor and texture in recipes.
Long-Term Storage (Up to Several Months)
-
Freezing: Pour discard into an airtight container or freezer bag, label it with the date, and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before using.
-
Drying: Spread a thin layer on parchment paper, let it air-dry completely, then break it into flakes and store in an airtight container. Rehydrate with water when needed.
Refrigerated discard will develop a stronger tang over time, which can enhance certain recipes.
