Sourdough Discard, Reimagined: Waste Nothing, Bake Everything
Your sourdough discard isn't a byproduct; it's an ingredient waiting to shine. In this hands-on class, we'll explore the full range of what discard can become, transforming what usually ends up in the compost bin into a trio of delicious bakes.
We'll cover the fundamentals of working with discard: how to store it, when to use it, and how it behaves differently across sweet and savory applications.
Then we'll get our hands in the dough together, making crisp sourdough discard crackers, tender sourdough scones, and chewy sourdough cookies, learning the techniques and ratios that make each one work.
You'll leave with a new appreciation for your starter, a set of go-to recipes to bake again at home, and a box of everything we made together in class.
What you'll learn:
The role discard plays in flavor, texture, and structure
Storing and maintaining discard for regular use
Making crisp, savory sourdough discard crackers
Baking tender, flaky sourdough scones
Mixing chewy, flavorful sourdough cookies
Tips for incorporating discard into your everyday baking
Perfect for: sourdough bakers with extra starter on hand, home bakers looking to reduce waste, and anyone curious about baking beyond the loaf.
