A full week of putting discard to work — a celebratory tangy chocolate cake, a quick savory cheese-and-herb loaf, fast snack ideas, so nothing hits the bin.
Dimpled discard focaccia
An overnight discard focaccia with a crackly, olive-oil-soaked crust, a same-day skillet flatbread, and quick discard pita that puffs into pockets.
Hand-rolled discard pasta
Silky sourdough discard egg pasta you can roll by hand, a pinch-and-drop dumpling for no-roll nights, and a scrappy noodle soup that uses every last trimming.
Three 15-minute discard breakfasts
A puffy discard Dutch baby that bakes while you make coffee, fast savory scallion fritters, and one-minute discard crêpes for a weekday morning.
Discard banana bread + a muffin trick
A deeply moist sourdough discard banana bread, quick blueberry discard muffins, and a single-serve discard mug cake for a late-night craving.
Same-day discard pizza dough
A same-day sourdough discard pizza dough with real depth of flavor, a no-yeast skillet flatbread for tonight, and crisp discard breadsticks from the scraps.
