Instructions

This can be made with gluten free ingredients or regular ingredients. Results will differ slightly.

First, combine sourdough discard, flour, olive oil, sea salt and water in a mixing bowl. Use your hands (not a whisk or spatula) to combine. Roll into a ball.

Once combined, put a lid on the mixing bowl. Store at room temperature for 24 hours.

After 24 hours, the dough will have risen (if using regular ingredients) and will have remained the same size (if using gluten free ingredients). Preheat oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a large cast iron skillet in the oven to warm up.

Flour a surface and rolling pin. Carefully roll out dough into a ¼ inch thick circle.

Remove skillet from oven. Carefully place the circle of pizza dough in the hot cast iron skillet.

Place skillet on stovetop. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until the bottom of the crust is lightly golden and no longer wet.

Turn heat off. Add sauce, cheese and desired toppings.

Bake at 500 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 minutes or until cheese has melted.

Finally, remove from oven. Slice and serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Maximize Sourdough Tanginess 🥖
Use sourdough discard that's at peak activity (bubbly and risen) and let your dough bulk ferment for 4-6 hours at room temperature to develop deep, complex flavors that store-bought crusts can't match.
Achieve the Perfect Crust Texture 🍕
After stretching your dough, let it rest on the pizza peel for 10-15 minutes before topping—this allows the gluten to relax and creates that ideal balance between crispy exterior and doughy interior.
Salt Distribution Strategy 🧂
Mix sea salt directly into your dough during the initial mixing rather than sprinkling it on top, ensuring even flavor distribution throughout the crust and preventing oversalted patches.
Optimal Olive Oil Application 🫒
Brush extra virgin olive oil around the crust edges just before baking and immediately after removing from the oven for enhanced flavor and a beautiful golden-brown finish that seals in moisture.
Temperature Control for Oven Success 🌡️
Preheat your oven to 475-500°F and place a pizza stone on the lowest rack for 30 minutes—this creates superior heat distribution and prevents a soggy bottom while achieving a perfectly charred, crispy crust in 12-15 minutes.
