Wondering what to do with sourdough discard? Instead of throwing away (or composting) your excess sourdough starter during the feeding process, use it in your baking to add complex flavor in unexpected places, like Sourdough Sugar Cookies, Sourdough Apple Pie, and Super Fudgy Sourdough Brownies.

Trust us: Sourdiscard is the secret ingredient you didn't know you had lying around your kitchen. It unlocks new levels of flavor (think cultured butter, crème fraîche, or cream cheese) that enhance your favorite bakes, while also making the most of your sourdough discard leftovers. Whip up breakfast in mere minutes on the griddle with crumpets, or give yourself an “excuse” to make a rich chocolate cake with coffee icing. No starter to begin with? Pick up some of our bakery’s sourdough starter to jump-start the process — freshly baked loaves and creative sourdough discard recipes await!
