A quick use of sourdough starter in addition to pizza crusts is biscuits. Take the starter usually one cup and 1 cup flour add 3/4 teaspoon soda nd 1/3 cup butter or oil. Drop by teaspoon full onto greased or parchment lined cookie sheet.
Can be cut in half if you don't have a lot of starter to "discard" can also be baked in muffin tins with cinnamon & sugar (1 teaspoon of dough add cinnamon & sugar and another teaspoon of dough & more cinnamon & sugar.
Bake about 10-15 minutes at 350ºF
I've also made blueberry muffins by adding up to 2 cups of well rinsed blueberries to the dough.
Ooooh, great idea, Kathe! I'll try those biscuits. I'd be a little hesitant about the liquid - usually tender biscuits are mostly flour and butter with a little bit of milk or buttermilk or cream to bind. But I'm often surprised by how well things turn out, baking-wise, when I'm questioning them from a chemistry point of view.So I'll definitely give this a whirl - thanks again. PJH
