Here you will find plenty of gluten-free sourdough discard recipes! My favorite recipes that use a lot of discard are these gluten-free sourdough pancakes and these gluten-free sourdough discard crepes.
Starter discard is the portion of starter that gets removed during feedings. Once your starter is 1 week old you can start keeping discard in the fridge for later use.
Discard can be kept in the refrigerator as long as it doesn't get moldy. My gluten-free discard normally lasts about a month!
I like adding sourdough discard to baked goods because of the tang and softness it brings. Technically you can add discard to any and every baking recipe as long as you use up to 100g!

Mary says
How long can discard sit on the counter and you add to it?
Natasha Levai says
Hi Mary! Discard should be kept in the fridge. You can add to it whenever you want to, you don't need to feed the discard. Whenever you have extra discard, you can add it to the one sitting in the fridge and mix. You can use it as long as there is no mold.

Some of the GF recipes use psyllium husks soaked to make a gel, which I do all the time. I was wondering if adding the required olive oil to that mix might slow down the water absorption in the psyllium? I prefer adding the olive oil after the psyllium has absorbed most of the water. What are your thoughts? Thank you.
Natasha Levai says
I always add the olive oil to the mix and it hasn't really slowed down the process significantly! So, I'd say it's okay to add the oil!
Michelle says
hi Natasha, I would love to try some of these recipes however my starter is not gluten free. can I still use your recipes?
Natasha Levai says
Hi Michelle! I have not tried these with a regular starter, so can't guarantee the results! I think there are more recipes online for a regular starter discard that there are for gluten-free 😀 You will have no problem finding wonderful recipes for your starter! 🙂
