Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between sourdough starter and discard?

Starter is the active, fed portion used for rising dough. Discard is the leftover unfed portion — perfect for baking, but not for leavening.

Can I bake with sourdough discard?

Yes! Discard can be used in pancakes, crackers, cookies, muffins, and even some breads.

Is sourdough healthier than regular bread?

Many people find sourdough easier to digest thanks to natural fermentation. It’s also lower in gluten and has a richer flavor profile.
