FAQ for Sourdough Recipes That Aren’t Bread
Can I use sourdough discard for all of these recipes?
Yes, you can use sourdough discard or fed starter for all of these recipes. It doesn’t matter which one.
Can I use cold starter for these recipes?
Yes, you can definitely use cold sourdough starter for this recipe. It can be either fed or discard.
Do you still get the sourdough benefits in recipes that aren’t bread?
Of course! You still get the benefits of the starter, but since most of these recipes don’t call for a fermentation process, the other ingredients don’t get fermented. If you’d like to get more gut health benefits, stick the dough or batter in the fridge for 12–24 hours before baking or cooking the recipe.
How can I ferment the other ingredients in a recipe that doesn’t call for a long ferment in the fridge?
Like I said in the question above, you can stick the batter or dough in the fridge for 12–24 hours before baking or cooking the recipe. This allows the sourdough cultures to ferment the other ingredients.
