How to Bake with Discard
Most of the time, sourdough discard can be used right from the fridge or brought to room temperature. Each recipe should specify if one way or another is preferred.
If adding to recipes that need to rise it will often be paired with baking soda or powder. Some recipes will even require instant yeast to be used.
