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)

Pizza or olive oil

Whipped Ricotta:

1 cup (250g) ricotta cheese

3 tbsp (45g) heavy cream

Salt to taste

Additional Toppings:

Pizza sauce

Mozzarella cheese

Pepperoni

Hot honey

Grated parmesan

Fresh basil

Directions

Preheat oven to 500F. Place a pizza stone in the oven, and preheat for at least 30 mins. This can also be made on a baking sheet lined w/ parchment paper or in a cast iron skillet.

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

Lay the dough out onto a floured surface & knead with your hands until smooth. The dough should be soft & sticky, yet supple. If the dough seems too wet, add 1 more tbsp of flour at a time, until it comes together more. Allow to rest for 10-15 mins.

Shape: Place the dough on a floured piece of parchment paper & roll out into a large circle, to your desired thickness.

Fold the edges around the circle to create a crust; gently press to seal.

Lightly brush the crust & the surface with pizza or olive oil. Top with your desired amount of pizza sauce, mozzarella, and pepperoni.

Transfer the pizza onto the heated pizza stone in the oven (I like to keep the parchment paper on the bottom to prevent sticking). Bake at 500F for 15-18 mins or until the cheese has melted & the crust is golden.

Whipped Ricotta (If Using): Add the ricotta, heavy cream, and salt to a blender. Blend until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag (optional).

Remove the pizza from the oven & cool for at least 1-2 mins. Top with the whipped ricotta, fresh basil, hot honey, and grated parmesan, if desired.

Slice and enjoy!
