What is Discard?

I get asked this question a lot — “what is discard?” Discard is the amount of starter that is left after feeding your starter. You have to pour some out in order to feed your starter. Many people just toss this out, however, I keep mine in the fridge to make other recipes with!

One of my husband's favorite recipes I make with the discard is these Sourdough Discard Dinner Rolls.
