Thin Crust Sourdough Discard Pizza by Littlespoonfarm

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup unfed sourdough discard starter
• 1 tbsp neutral oil (for the pan)
• 1/4 cup pizza sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 10-12 slices pepperoni

Instructions

1. Adjust oven racks so the top rack sits about two positions below the broiler and the bottom rack can fit a cast iron skillet. Preheat oven to 450°F and place a cast iron skillet inside to heat for 15–20 minutes.
2. Using oven gloves, carefully remove the hot skillet. Pour in about 1 tablespoon of oil and swirl or spread with a paper towel to coat the bottom evenly — do not use more than a tablespoon.
3. Pour exactly 3/4 cup of unfed sourdough discard into the hot skillet and swirl to coat the entire bottom in a thin, even layer.
4. Return the skillet to the oven and bake at 450°F for 10–15 minutes, until the crust is set and the edges begin to curl up slightly.
5. Remove the skillet from the oven. Turn the oven off and switch the broiler to low.
6. Quickly top the crust with pizza sauce, shredded mozzarella, and pepperoni slices.
7. Place the skillet under the broiler for 1–2 minutes, watching closely, until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is crisped.
8. Remove from the broiler, slide a spatula under the pizza, and transfer it to a sheet of parchment paper. Cut immediately and serve right away.
