What is sourdough discard?

Sourdough discard is a part of the sourdough starter that gets discarded in order to keep the right ratio of bacteria and acid in the starter. Since you continually add to the starter to keep it going, if you don’t throw some of the starter out, the ratio would become unbalanced.

Vegan Sourdough Discard Recipes FAQ

Is sourdough bread suitable for vegans?

Sourdough starter comes from just two ingredients: flour and water. Once you’re ready to make sourdough bread from it, you’ll add olive oil, salt, flour, and water. You’ll need a little cornmeal for dusting.
As long as you stick with ingredients that don’t involve animals in any way, you’re golden.

Is sourdough discard healthy?

Unless the starter is bad, it usually is. Additionally, you don’t have to completely throw out the sourdough discard. Use it up in biscuits, waffles and pancakes, pizza dough, and more. Sourdough discard will be good for up to seven days.

Can I feed my sourdough without discarding some of it?

It isn’t a good idea. After a while, the ratio of bacteria and acid won’t be correct if some of the starter isn’t thrown out before adding new ingredients to the mix. This eventually affects the quality of the bread in a negative way. It also primes the starter to go bad.
