Use your sourdough discard to make a flavorful, chewy, and crispy pizza crust quickly. This recipe is simple, reduces waste, and is perfect for weeknight family pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the sourdough discard, flour, instant yeast, salt, olive oil, and sugar.
  2. Mix the ingredients by hand or with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 to 7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. It will be slightly sticky.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning once to coat. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
  5. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. This short rest allows the gluten to relax.
  6. Preheat your oven and pizza stone (if using) to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius).
  7. Divide the dough in half for two medium pizzas, or use the whole batch for one large pizza.
  8. Shape the dough by hand or with a rolling pin to your desired thickness. Aim for a thin crust for crispiness or slightly thicker for chewiness.
  9. Transfer the dough to a prepared pizza peel or baking sheet. Add your favorite sauce and toppings.
  10. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Notes

  • This dough works well for both crispy and chewy results; a thinner shape yields crispier results, while a thicker shape offers more chew.
  • If you skip the small amount of added yeast, you must allow the dough to rest for at least 2 hours for a slight rise.
  • For easy cleanup, consider making a meal plan for the week to avoid relying on meal delivery companies.
