🍞 5 Easy Sourdough Discard Wins

Hey Reader,

I know I keep talking about the snow, but… wow. This last storm was no joke. ❄️

Here in my part of Massachusetts, we ended up with over 30 inches on top of what was already on the ground. Tuesday was basically spent shoveling myself and the chickens out.

I was really grateful that I was only without power for about 36 hours. And that there wasn’t any major damage to my home. The chicken run, however, is definitely going to need some repairs come springtime.

Once the power came back on, it felt so good to get back into a normal rhythm. I spent time continuing to test my matcha sourdough bread recipe, and I made a thrift store run for the guest bedroom I’m slowly decorating.

Best find of the day: a vintage sewing box for $2.99. I was very excited!

After a week of being a little out of my normal routine, it felt really good to get back into the kitchen and make something homemade with sourdough. This week, I was all about quick and easy wins — and that’s exactly what I’m sharing with you today.

Five of my favorite sourdough discard recipes you can make and eat the same day.

I hope you try one (or all!) of them and enjoy! 💛

​Sourdough Granola Bars​

Made with wholesome ingredients for a sourdough snack you can feel good about.

​Sourdough Cheese Crackers​

Only 5 ingredients and tastes just like Cheez-Its!

​Cinnamon Sugar Sourdough Muffins​

Warm and buttery, this simple sourdough muffin is perfect for making ahead and freezing.

​Sourdough Drop Biscuits​

A no-fuss biscuit recipe that's ready in minutes.

​Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough​

Ready the same day or ferment overnight for more flavor.

To help you get the best results, here are some ingredients and tools I recommend:

  • ​Food Scale - Measuring by weight is the easiest way to get consistent results every time.
  • ​Dutch Oven - Creates steam while baking so you get a beautiful rise and crust.
  • ​Straight-Sided Containers - Easier to track bulk fermentation.
  • ​Bread Sling - Helps you safely transfer dough into a hot Dutch oven.
  • ​Lame - Gives you control and confidence when scoring your dough for an even rise.
  • ​Proofer - Allows you to control the proofing temperature to better predict bulk fermentation timing.

The Sourdough Slice Serving sourdough recipes, stories, and inspiration every Saturday morning. Hey Reader, Do you usually make your sourdough loaves with bread flour or all-purpose (or something else)? In most of my recipes, I recommend bread flour by default. But recently I realized something — I had never actually done a true side-by-side comparison myself to see how much of a difference it really makes. So this week I decided to run a little experiment. I made two loaves exactly the same...

I’ve been making pour over coffee in my Chemex for over 11 years now… and I finally cracked it on Wednesday. Totally my fault. I had it sitting too close to the burner. Oops! But it’s already been replaced, and I took it as a good excuse to treat myself to a brand new water kettle too. Speaking of morning drinks…...

Hey Reader, I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point… but your sourdough girl is officially ready for warmer days over here. 😅 This past week it felt like winter looked at me and said, “Oh, you think you’ve got this? That’s cute.” I got caught in a snowstorm driving home from my sister’s baby shower, my furnace broke on a literal 0°F day, it dramatically backfired while being...
