Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Skillet
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Rolling Pin
  • 1 Pizza Slicer optional
  • 1 Olive Oil Dispenser optional
  • 1 Pastry Cutter optional

Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup sourdough discard Both active sourdough (at peak) and sourdough discard work within this recipe.
  • 1/4 cup + 1 TBS whole wheat flour
  • 1 - 2/3 cup all purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 1 tsp sea salt We prefer himalayan sea salt
  • 1 TBS olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Prepare sourdough starter 4-12 hours in advance to ensure it is at peak.
  • Remove the sourdough starter from fridge and place on countertop. Cut dough into fourths. Allow to warm up to room temperature while preparing additional pizza toppings.
  • Heat cast iron skillet on medium - low heat. Place oil of choice (avocado or olive oil recommended) on the pan as it heats up.
  • Roll out sourdough pizza dough to 1/8 to 1/4" thickness. Place one personal sized crust on cast iron skillet.
  • While the crust is coking on the cast iron skillet, add desired toppings. Once the pizza crust comes off of the skillet and has a golden brown color (or cheetah like spots), put cast iron skillet into the oven under the broiler.
  • Allow sourdough pizza to cook until toppings are warmed through, crust is completely cooked and the cheese (if you have this on top), is melted. *Be careful to watch the pizza while under the broiler as it will burn quickly.

Notes

Sourdough Starter - Active vs. Discard
Both active sourdough and sourdough discard work within this recipe. Active sourdough will provide more rise within the pizza crust.
