How to use discarded sourdough starter to make a quick bread? A sourdough baking question often asked is, “How can I use that “discarded” starter instead of throwing it away?” A great way to use up sourdough starter is in a quick bread! A very short baking reminder: a quick bread is made with baking powder and/or baking soda instead of yeast. Since you aren’t using yeast and waiting for it to proof, it is quick! For this particular recipe, we are using baking soda (and powder) that helps to raise the batter while baking in the oven. The sourdough discard helps to give it a little extra lift and also a lovely mild sourdough tang.
