Never throw away your sourdough discard again.

Sourdough discard is the portion of your starter you remove before each feeding. Every baker who keeps a starter has it — and most end up throwing it away every single day.

CrustyBake exists to change that. Every recipe on this site uses sourdough discard as the star ingredient. Most take under 30 minutes. None of them require your starter to be active or fed. If you have discard in a jar in your fridge, you have everything you need.

Start with these five recipes

These are the five recipes every discard baker should know. The fastest, the most forgiving, the ones that convert sourdough sceptics.

• 2-Ingredient Sourdough Discard Crackers — discard, olive oil, salt.
• Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough — no long rise, ready to use same day.
• Sourdough Discard Cinnamon Rolls — the recipe that makes people keep their starter.
