Prep: 1 minute
Cook: 15 minutes
Broil Time: 2 minutes
Total: 18 minutes
Servings: 6 slices

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sourdough discard (100% hydration, well mixed)*
  • 1 Tbsp avocado oil (for the skillet/steel)

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Place a ~ 12-inch cast iron skillet or pizza steel in the oven for at least 20 minutes—it must be very hot.
  • Carefully remove the hot skillet/steel and coat it with a layer of avocado oil.
  • Immediately pour the sourdough discard onto it and use the back of a spoon to spread it into a thin layer. Don't worry if the crust starts cooking as you spread it. Keep spreading until you achieve your desired thickness. The thinner the better to avoid a soggy crust. If you have extra discard, simply scrape it off onto another cast iron skillet/pizza steel.
  • Return to the oven and bake for 10–15 minutes or until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  • Remove and top with your favorite toppings. 
  • Set the oven to broil on high and cook for another 2 minutes until the pizza is golden, crisp around the edges, and the cheese is fully melted.

Notes

-*It’s ok if your sourdough discard is thicker, but a thin discard is much more difficult to make into a pizza crust.
-Use as much or as little sourdough discard to make a larger or smaller pizza as desired.
