Sourdough Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sourdough Discard
- 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast Or one packet
- 1 1/2 tsp Honey
- 1 1/3 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1/4 cup Warm Water
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil + a little more
- 3/4 tsp Salt
For Pizza Toppings:
Tomato sauce
Salt
Garlic powder
Italian seasoning
Paprika
Cayenne pepper
Mozzarella cheese
Optional: Sharp cheddar cheese
Toppings of your choice (I use pepperoni, bacon, and cowboy candy)
Instructions
- Add water, yeast, and honey to a stand mixer and wait 5 minutes
- Add all other ingredients and mix until the dough is smooth
- It should be easy to hand but still lightly stick to the bottom of the mixer bowl
- Put the dough in an oiled bowl and let rise until doubled in size (about 1 hour)
- If your house is not warm, turn your oven on for a few minutes then shut it off and put the bowl inside for an hour
- Turn oven on to 400 degrees (without the dough inside)
- Once the dough is double the size, cut it in half for two pizzas and roll them out onto parchment paper
- In a separate pan or bowl, make the pizza sauce with the tomato sauce and seasonings
- I don't measure my seasons and just add to taste
- Put enough sauce on the dough to cover without it being soggy
- Add mozzarella cheese on top
- Now it's time to have fun with toppings!
- Once it is put together. You can either cook both for 25-30 minutes or put one on a plate in the freezer
- If I am freezing a pizza, I wait overnight for it to be frozen fully before removing the pizza with the paper and covering it in foil or putting it in a freezer-safe bag
- You can also make microwave pizza by separating the dough into 6 instead of 2
- Then make the mini pizzas the same way and fully cook them
- Once they are cooked, freeze fully and store in a bag or in foil
- When you are ready to eat, remove foil and put on a plate before microwaving for 1-1 ½ minutes to reheat
