Finally using my sourdough discard now that my starter is growing more instead of throwing it in the trash. The first thing I made was pizza crusts! Ingredients • 1 cup sourdough discard • 1 cup whole wheat flour • 1 cup all-purpose flour • 1/2 cup water (adjust as needed for hydration) • 1 tbsp olive oil • 1 tsp salt • 1 tsp sugar or honey (optional, for a touch of sweetness) Instructions 1. Mix the Dough: • In a large bowl, combine the sourdough discard, whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, water, olive oil, salt, and sugar/honey (if using). • Mix until the dough comes together. It should be soft but not sticky; adjust with more water or flour as needed. 2. Knead and Rest: • Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5–7 minutes until smooth. • Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rest for 1–2 hours at room temperature. (The natural fermentation in the discard will help develop flavor.) 3. Shape the Crusts: • Divide the dough into two portions for medium-sized pizzas or leave it whole for one large pizza. • Roll or stretch the dough to your desired thickness and shape on a floured surface. 4. Preheat and Bake: • Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside for at least 30 minutes. • Transfer the shaped dough to a piece of parchment paper or a pizza peel dusted with flour. Add your toppings. 5. Bake the Pizza: • Slide the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crisp. I made two pizzas on a baking sheet. One pepperoni and cheese and one gorgonzola, fig, and caramelized onion pizza. I am soooo happy to be baking!
