A quick and easy homemade pizza crust recipe using sourdough starter discard that yields a crispy, thin, and flavorful base perfect for pizza night.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 100 grams (3.5 oz) sourdough starter discard, unfed, room temperature
  • 1 cup (120 grams) all-purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup (80 ml) warm water, adjust as needed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon baking powder

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon baking powder. Whisk together to evenly distribute.
  2. Stir in 100 grams (3.5 oz) sourdough discard and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Gradually add about ⅓ cup (80 ml) warm water while mixing until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.
  3. On a floured surface, knead the dough lightly for about 2 minutes until pliable but not too wet. Add more flour if too sticky.
  4. Cover the dough with a clean towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
  5. Lightly flour your work surface and roll the dough out as thin as possible, about ⅛ inch (3 mm) thickness.
  6. Transfer the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or preheated pizza stone using a floured pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet.
  7. Brush the dough lightly with olive oil to encourage crisping.
  8. Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 8-10 minutes until edges start to turn golden.
  9. Remove from oven, add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake for another 7-10 minutes until cheese melts and crust crisps fully.
  10. Let the pizza rest a few minutes before slicing to help the crust crisp up and prevent sogginess.

Notes

Let the dough rest for 15 minutes to relax gluten for easier rolling. Preheat oven and pizza stone for at least 30 minutes for best crisp. Brush olive oil before baking to enhance browning and crispiness. Prick dough with fork if bubbles form during pre-bake. Handle dough gently to avoid tearing.
