My family loves pizza, but me, not so much. So we compromise and I make an easy sourdough pizza crust that is absolutely devine. We ALL love it, and that’s kind of the point. It’s literally the only pizza crust that I truly enjoy.
The best part is that you can use this crust right away. You only have to let it rise for about an hour. Though you can let it rise for more if you’d like!
Using Sourdough Discard for Pizza Crust
When you make sourdough, every single day you’ll have sourdough discard. Instead of throwing it away, a lot of people try to find something to make with it. This sourdough pizza crust recipe is an incredible way to use sourdough discard.
Here are some other recipes you might enjoy that you can use with sourdough discard:

- Once risen, thinly roll out dough onto your greased pizza pan. Should be an inch or less thick.
- Place toppings on your pizza and let set for 30 mins.
- Bake your sourdough pizza at 500 degrees (pre-heated) for about 8 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and starting to turn brown.

![[POST 1/MANY] For starters, this is not a family friendly post, so reader beware. Over the last few days I have received so many insane messages and comments, that it was too much not to talk about. I debated on posting about it, but I feel like it’s necessary. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been a blogger for over 15 years, in some way or another. I have been an online influencer for almost as long. In my well over a decade of experience, I have never, in my entire time of doing this, ever been so attacked as I have been this week online. It’s no secret that I have always stated, loudly (but kindly), that I am a Christian. In the 15 years of blogging, homesteading, and influencing, I have never been attacked for my faith. Not to the extent of this week. It has never been an issue. I have always said, “I talk about Jesus because He is my daily life, but I will never force Jesus into your life.” This has always been enough. I have online followers who are atheist, Hindi, agnostic, and more—who have been here for almost that entire 15 years, and who have never had an issue with me sharing my lifestyle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My belief is that which the Bible states, “judge not those outside of the church, but those within it”. That has always been my motto. So if you are an unbeliever, I don’t judge you. It’s none of my business what you do, what you believe, or how you live your life. It’s no one else’s business either. You should do you, and you should totally own it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The reality is that, this week, it hasn’t just been the random follower attacking me (there have been some pretty rude ones, though)….many of the attacks were coming from fellow “Christians”. I put that in air quotes because I believe that some of them are, indeed, just Luke-warm. You know, the ones that get spit out of God’s mouth.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To give you an idea, here are some things I’ve been called this week….by “Christians”….⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Hi Amy,
I am trying my hand at sourdough bread (starter) making. It’s going to be interesting to see what happens. I tried a couple times only to see no results that were satisfactory. But maybe this time. I am on Day 6 of the King Arthur AP flour version, getting my starter from Dok Klaus’ wife, Virginia. WE will see. My discard is going to be used for pizza this evening. Wish me luck.
My initial inspiration was this very dark round loaf that my Finnish grandmother used to make for us when they would come to visit. I a not sure when I will be confident enough to try that one. But here’s at least an attempt at sourdough, which is my favorite bread of all time.
Good luck, Sylvia! You can do it!
My pizza dough from this recipe was runny. Any advice? I used KA all purpose flour too. ???
That’s odd! You should add more flour. If your atmosphere is humid or wet, it can also cause your dough to be more wet.
I cut this recipe in half which made just right amount for my pizza pan. We prefer a thinner pizza crust .
The baking time I needed was 12 minutes at the 500 degree oven temperature.
The pizza was delicious !
I used this recipe but made 1/2 of the ingredients since we like a thinner crust.
It turned out delicious!
I baked it at the suggested 500 degrees for 12 minutes instead of 8 or 9 minutes.
I will be using this recipe again because of how easy it is !
