Homemade Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough

  • Total Time: 4 hours 30 minutes

Description

Transform your sourdough discard into a delicious, chewy pizza crust with this easy Homemade Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough recipe! Perfect for pizza night, this zero-waste dough delivers incredible flavor and texture while making the most of your sourdough starter. Whether you’re a sourdough enthusiast or just looking for a unique twist on classic pizza dough, this recipe is a game-changer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240g) sourdough discard (unfed starter)
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (about 100°F/38°C)
  • 3 cups (360g) all-purpose flour (plus extra for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, helps with browning)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine your sourdough discard with warm water. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
  2. Gradually add the flour and salt to the wet mixture, stirring as you go. If using sugar for browning, add it now. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the kneaded dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel, and let it rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours.
  5. After resting, divide the dough into two portions for medium pizzas or keep it whole for a large pizza. On a floured surface, stretch or roll the dough to your desired thickness.
  6. Transfer to a pizza peel or baking sheet, add your favorite toppings, and bake in a preheated 475°F (245°C) oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
