Still making sourdough? The discard you’ve been tossing is worth keeping

Every sourdough baker who feeds a starter ends up with discard, the portion removed before each feeding. Many throw it out, yet many recipes list it as an ingredient. Discard adds flavor but does little to help bread rise, so it suits some dishes better than others. National Homemade Bread Day on Nov. 17 gives bakers with extra starter a reason to put it to work without baking a loaf. kA 4=2DDlQHA\3=@4<\A2C28C2A9Qmp D@FC5@F89 DE2CE6C 368:?D 2D 7=@FC 2?5 H2E6C =67E E@ D:E] t249 52J 27E6C E92E[ E96 32<6C >:I6D 2 A@CE:@?
