Description
Turn your sourdough discard into the best homemade pizza! This quick and easy sourdough discard pizza dough recipe uses no added yeast, giving you a delicious, chewy crust perfect for your next pizza night. Use up your starter leftovers for a simple, flavorful, no-waste pizza.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup warm water (or as needed)
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix them together until a shaggy dough forms.
- Add the olive oil and begin mixing by hand.
- Slowly add the warm water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together into a cohesive ball. You may need slightly more or less water depending on the hydration of your discard.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 3 to 5 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Since this recipe is quick, you do not need a long rise time.
- Preheat your oven and pizza stone (if using) to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius).
- Divide the dough in half for two medium pizzas, or use the whole batch for one large pizza.
- On a piece of parchment paper dusted with cornmeal or flour, stretch or roll the dough into your desired pizza shape.
- Add your favorite sauce and toppings.
- Carefully transfer the pizza (using the parchment paper or a pizza peel) to the hot stone or baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Enjoy your homemade pizza crust starter creation!
Notes
- For a crispier sourdough discard crust, roll the dough thinner before topping.
- If you prefer a slightly chewier sourdough discard crust, let the dough rest for 15 minutes after kneading before shaping.
- This recipe is a great way to practice no waste sourdough cooking.
