Gluten Free Sourdough Discard refers to a portion of the sourdough starter that is removed and discarded during the established starter's regular feeding or maintenance.
The discard may still contain active wild yeast and lactic acid bacteria, contributing to sourdough's characteristic flavor and leavening properties. The natural acids in sourdough discard can help improve the overall texture of gluten-free baked goods, making them softer and more palatable.
Gluten-free sourdough Discard can be stored in a glass jar in the fridge for up to 7 days. I like to bring it to room temperature before adding it to recipes. There is no need to feed it before using it.
Some of my favorite Gluten Free Sourdough Discard Recipes are Gluten Free Sourdough Discard Crackers (uses a lot of discard), Gluten Free Dutch Oven Bread and my Gluten Free Sourdough Chocolate Cake. Believe me, Chocolate and Sourdough can go together very well.
