Should I Use Sourdough Discard or Sourdough Starter?

For this Amazing Sourdough Pumpkin Roll Made with Fresh Milled Flour Recipe, you can use either sourdough discard or sourdough starter. There may be some recipes that may call for one or the other specifically. Sourdough starter and discard are technically the same thing, the only difference is that the starter has been fed, and the discard has not.

How To Transition My Sourdough Starter To Fresh Milled Flour

I have a whole post on how to transition your current sourdough starter to feeding with Fresh milled flour. Checkout that post HERE.

Why Use Fresh Milled Flour?

The health benefits alone make it worth milling your own whole grain at home! Not to mention the outstanding fresh flavor of fresh milled grains cannot be mimicked by anything else! Milling your own grain gives you the power to make your food when the flour is at it’s maximum potential, retaining the highest level of nutrition and flavor. On the contrary, commercial flours (even the specialty expensive flours) are stripped of nearly all of the nutritional content. When the grain is processed, both the bran (fiber) and the germ (Vitamin E) are removed.

Should I Refrigerate The Sourdough Pumpkin Roll Cake?

Yes, you should refrigerate the pumpkin roll cake. Because refrigeration will ensure that the cream cheese filling inside will setup and not ooze out. Also, because of the diary inside the filling, it would be advisable to store it wrapped in cling film, or in a sealed container.
