Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough

This recipe only yields 1 medium pizza. It was the perfect amount for my small family but I suggest doubling this recipe if you are making it for more than 2 people!

You can choose to skip the yeast in this recipe and use active starter instead. It will just take a bit longer to rise.

INGREDIENTS:

• 100 grams of sourdough discard

• 7 grams of yeast

• 140 grams of warm water

• 10 grams of honey

• 15 grams of olive oil

• 250 grams of flour

• 10 grams of salt

METHOD:

• Combine all of your ingredients and mix until it forms a shaggy dough. Let it rest coveeed for 30 minutes.

• Place your dough onto the counter and knead it until it forms a dough. This will take a few minutes. Add some flour if it is too sticky at this point.

• Place back into your bowl, cover, and let it rest until doubled.

• Once the dough has doubled, it’s ready to use! You may place it in the fridge at this point if you’re not ready to use it to avoid over-proofing.

• Preheat your oven to 450°.

• OPTIONAL TIP: Place your pizza stone or cast iron in the oven while it’s preheating to get it warm!

• Stretch out your dough to form your pizza and add it to your cast iron or pizza stone. Add your favorite toppings.

• OPTIONAL TIP: Want a buttery garlic crust? Melt about 1 tablespoon of butter, add a pinch of salt and some garlic powder. Mix well and brush it onto the crust of your pizza dough.

• Bake for 15 minutes or until your crust is golden and your toppings have set.

• Enjoy :)
