FAQ

Can You Use Sourdough Discard Instead Of Starter?

You can use sourdough discard instead of mature starter to make a variety of recipes. Discard is great in flat bread recipes like naan, flatbread, and pizza bases, and in baked goods. Discard has fewer fermentation benefits than mature starter, so if you are sensitive to gluten, make sure to wait until your starter is mature to make bread.
