Why do you throw out the first cup of ths starter dough? I have made starter dough before however yours is the first that says to do this.
Shirley, unless you discard or give away starter before you feed it, pretty soon you'd have starter overflowing your fridge! It's simply to keep the amount of starter you're tending at the same level, rather than continuing to increase it each time you feed it. - PJH
