The Easiest Sourdough Discard Pizza Crust Recipe
This is the easiest sourdough discard pizza crust you will ever make! Ready in minutes, this is an easy “homestead fast food” recipe that you can make anytime. It’s a great way to use up lots of sourdough discard, and leftover meat and veggies that might be floating around in your refrigerator. This is a thin cracker-like crust, with light and crispy edges. Slather the dough with homemade pizza sauce and other toppings raised on your own homestead like hamburger, peppers, onions, and homemade cheese, and you will enjoy a most satisfying meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups sourdough starter
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 Tablespoons fat optional (butter, coconut oil, beef tallow)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425 degrees with the pizza stones or cast iron pans in it for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook or prep desired toppings while the oven preheats.
- Remove hot skillets from the oven, and pour sourdough discard straight onto the hot skillets.
- Spread the discard around the pan and up the edges so it’s evenly distributed. Add more if necessary. Crust will pretty much cook all the way through right as it hits the hot skillet.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper or any seasonings you desire, like garlic salt or paprika. Drizzle with melted butter or fat.
- Put the skillets back in the oven for 5 minutes to finish baking the crusts. Once they are done baking, you can gently lift the crusts out of the skillets and place them on a baking sheet before adding the toppings if you need the skillets to bake more crusts.
- Add your favorite toppings.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes or until toppings are done. You can broil the toppings for a minute or two to finish melting the cheese if necessary.
- Cut the pizza with a pizza cutter or large knife. Serve with a side of garden salad or microgreens and enjoy!
