You will

still have some mixture left from your first day. As this contains

possibly dangerous pathogens that have been activated make sure you discard

this mixture. Once your sourdough starter is mature you never need to

discard it. It's long-fermented flour that is an excellent addon

|

a new batch can be frustrating. With experience, bread-making
|

becomes more efficient, and excess discard is rarely produced. It is
|

possible to prepare just the right amount of starter
|

needed for bread dough. In fact, a fully depleted starter can even be revived
|

using a small portion of bread dough. Any leftover discard, rich in spores,
|

can also serve as a backup to create a new sourdough starter. Simply mix the
|
||||
discard with a little flour and water, and it will spring back to life. That is a
|
||||
great option if the starter was accidentally depleted. A practical approach
|
||||
is to store all discard in a single jar in the fridge, adding new discard on
|

top as needed and using it whenever required.}
