A few tips for these sourdough discard recipes:

Be sure to use a clean jar or crock at least every few times you take out your sourdough starter discard. That way you won’t get mold in your sourdough starter.

Feed your sourdough starter with filtered or distilled water. This isn’t a must, but some tap water can contain a lot of chlorine that will kill your starter. I am able to use tap water for mine but if you find your sourdough starter dying, this may be why.

When you feed the sourdough starter, mix the water with your starter first and then add the flour. This makes sure it gets evenly distributed.

Your sourdough starter needs to sit out on the counter for at least 4-6 hours (overnight is best).

You don’t have to throw away sourdough starter discard. Use these sourdough discard recipes to save you the heartbreak of throwing it away.

2 tsp. crushed garlic (optional)
