Using my sourdough starter to make a ton of sourdough discard recipes is one of my favorite things to do. There are endless recipes out there and so many ways to use them. Recently I have been making sourdough discard English muffins and they are beyond easy!

Now that I have learned how to make so many amazing sourdough products, I don't buy these things at the store anymore. Homemade tastes WAY better in my opinion.
If you love sourdough, be sure to check out my recipes for Sourdough Discard Bagels, Sourdough Discard Brownies, Sourdough Artisan Loaf, and Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls.

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.
