Stupid Easy Sourdough Discard Skillet Pizza Dough
August 21, 2025
Because discard deserves better than the compost bin… hello, pizza! 🍕🌟
From jar to pizza night in 20 minutes flat. Crispy, golden, and oh so good.”
This stupid easy sourdough discard pizza dough is my go-to when pizza night calls, but time is short. With just a swirl of olive oil, a hot cast iron skillet, and your sourdough discard, you’ll have a golden, crisp crust ready for any toppings. 🍕✨
What I love most about this pizza hack is how it works for both a quick weeknight dinner and a last-minute pizza party. No hours of dough prep required — just bubbly discard and a skillet. If you’ve got a jar of sourdough starter on the counter (or tucked in the fridge), you’ve got pizza night covered.
This recipe is fun, flexible, and absolutely foolproof. My only warning? You’ll never look at sourdough discard the same way again. And if you want to see just how magical this dough can get, don’t miss my Lemon Ricotta Sourdough Pizza—it’s bright, creamy, and a total showstopper. 🍋🧀🍕 Here’s a sneak peek at how we took our Lemon Ricotta recipe and baked it up on this stupid-easy crust. Just proof that discard nights can feel downright gourmet. ✨

👩🍳 A Baker’s Tease
This isn’t your classic, hours-long, knead-’til-your-arms-hurt kind of dough. This is the rebel child of sourdough! A crispy, skillet-scorching crust made from nothing but discard, olive oil, and a sprinkle of love. It breaks all the rules, and that’s exactly why it works.
