For those that haven\u2019t made it before, let me clue you in. As you get your sourdough starter up and running, you\u2019ll discard (hence the name) half of the mixture before replenishing it with new flour and water to maintain a 1-1-1 ratio of starter, flour, and water.<\/div>\n<p>Needless to say, the process can feel very wasteful, especially when you\u2019re feeding a developing starter multiple times a day. The bright side? There are tons of sourdough discard recipes\u2014from pancakes to crackers to pizza dough\u2014to make instead of throwing it (and your efforts) down the drain. So next time you find yourself patiently waiting for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-benefits-of-sourdough\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/longevity-benefits-of-sourdough\/\">sourdough<\/a> starter to fully activate into bubbly goodness\u2014which can take upwards of several weeks\u2014try cooking up a few equally tasty treats using your starter. The sourdough discard recipes you&#8217;ll find below are the best thing you&#8217;ll try since sliced bread.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Does your sourdough discard have to be active to use?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First things first: Why is it &#8220;okay&#8221; to use sourdough discard in a recipe if it\u2019s meant to be&#8230; discarded? While not-yet-active sourdough starter might not be able to fully leaven a loaf of bread with large open crumbs, it\u2019s perfectly fine for recipes that don\u2019t require lively yeast (in other words, much rising). Think pancakes, pizza dough, waffles, and crackers.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, if there\u2019s a need for a baked good to grow to new heights, you can always supplement the sourdough discard with leavening agents, like baking powder or soda.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content \" style=\"\" data-module-init=\"related-content\" data-module-immediate=\"\" v-cloak=\"\">\n<div class=\"related-content__wrapper \" v-cloak=\"\" :class=\"{'is-loaded':isLoaded}\">\n<p> <span class=\"inline pr-6 text-seafoam-dark\">Related Stories<\/span> <\/p>\n<p> <related-content class=\"related-content__links\" parent-article-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-discard-recipes\/\" current-title=\"These Gut-Friendly Sourdough Pancakes, Waffles, and Blueberry Muffins Help Balance Your Microbiome With Every Bite\" current-image=\"sourdough-discard-blueberry-muffins-cooling-425x285.jpg\" v-on:parsely-posts-loaded=\"onPostsLoaded\" start-date=\"2022-12-22\" tag=\"div\" inline-template=\"\" url=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-discard-recipes\/\" secret=\"w5ztterVB03LGZJLfXS0hf3EvQBuFFIWew9hmVQxthU\" apikey=\"wellandgood.com\" limit=\"3\"> <\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"related-content__card mb-[10px] sm:mb-[20px]\" :class=\"{'related-content__card--full':posts.length === 1}\" v-for=\"(post, key) in posts\"> <a v-on:click.prevent=\"trackLinkGA($event, key)\" :href=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-discard-recipes\/post.url\" data-url-source=\"related-content\" class=\"related-content__link\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"related-content__card--image bg-tan\" :style=\"{ backgroundImage: 'url(' + post.image_url + ')' }\"> <img decoding=\"async\" :src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/sourdough-discard-recipes\/post.image_url\" :alt=\"post.title\" class=\" js-inline-lazy-load\" src=\"\"\/> <\/div>\n<p> <\/a>  <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> <\/related-content> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><strong>5 delicious sourdough discard recipes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><figure id=\"attachment_1075015\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1075015\" style=\"width: 402px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1075015  js-inline-lazy-load\" alt=\"sourdough discard pancakes\" width=\"402\" height=\"603\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wellandgood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/sourdough-discard-pancakes_falsexfalse_true_70.webp\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1075015\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo: Modern Farmhouse Eats<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<h3>1.

All you need are pantry-staple ingredients like flour, milk, and eggs.
