Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough:

1 1/2 cups (213g) “00” flour or all-purpose flour (I highly recommend using a “00” flour)

2 tsp (9g) baking powder

1/4 tsp (2g) baking soda

1 tsp (6g) salt

1 cup (250g) greek yogurt

1/2 cup (145g) sourdough discard (sub: 1/2 cup more greek yogurt)

Filling:

1/4 cup basil pesto

1/2 cup pizza sauce

1/4 cup roasted red peppers

4-5 slices provolone cheese

5-6 slices deli salami

7-8 slices deli pepperoni

3/4 cup shredded mozzarella

Topping:

1 egg, beaten, for egg wash

Sesame seeds

Italian seasoning

Grated parmesan

Hot honey

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F. Place a pizza stone in the oven & preheat for at least 30 mins. This can also be made on a baking sheet lined w/ parchment paper.

Dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, greek yogurt, and sourdough discard until a shaggy dough forms.

Knead w/ your hands in a floured surface until smooth. It should be soft & sticky, yet supple.

If it seems too wet, add 1 more tbsp of flour at a time, until it comes together more. Allow to rest for 10-15 mins.

Assemble: Place the dough on a piece of parchment paper that is dusted with flour & roll out into a large rectangle, around 8x12”.

Spread desired amount of pizza sauce & pesto across the surface. Arrange the roasted red peppers on top. Then, top w/ provolone cheese, salami, pepperoni & mozzarella.

Brush the edges w/ egg wash. Starting at a short end, tuck in the sides & tightly roll it up into a log. Pinch to seal & place seam side down.

Brush the top w/ egg wash; then sprinkle w/ sesame seeds, grated parmesan & Italian seasoning. Cut small slits across the top of the dough.

Transfer the stromboli onto the heated pizza stone in the oven (I keep the parchment paper on the bottom to prevent sticking). Bake at 400F for 20-25 mins or until the crust is golden brown & crispy.

Remove & let rest for 5 mins before slicing.

Slice & serve hot with hot honey & pizza sauce.

Enjoy!
