What’s In This Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough Recipe?
Be sure to visit the recipe card below for full ingredient amounts and recipe instructions!
- Sourdough Discard: you can buy sourdough starter, or I have a great guide on how to make your own in one week!
- All Purpose Flour
- Water
- Active Dry Yeast: I stocked up on this active yeast which I always find plenty of uses for in my kitchen! Active dry yeast is great for overnight breads and this easy quick bread recipe too!
- Pink Himalayan Sea Salt: I like to use a pink Himalayan Sea Salt in my kitchen.
- Garlic Powder: for a fantastic flavor of garlic in this crust, I like this garlic powder and always keep some in the pantry for all kinds of dishes.
- Dried Rosemary: Which I find has a more subtle flavor than the fresh rosemary. I crushed mine in a mortar and pestle, but you can use the larger dried leaves of rosemary if you’d like.
If you’re looking for a salt-free version, I love this low sodium pizza crust recipe too!
Herby Sourdough Pizza Dough with All Your Favorites
You can definitely switch up the herbs in this dough if you want different flavors: some basil and oregano would be delish! I went with rosemary and garlic, because my homemade tomato paste pizza sauce features both of those herbs so I wanted it to compliment the sauce!

How Do I Make Pizza Crust with Sourdough Discard?
- Place 1 cup of your Sourdough starter in a large bowl. Add the rest of the dough ingredients, and mix well to combine.
- Knead dough for 10 minutes until the dough begins to thicken and gluten strands begin to form.
- Allow dough to rest for 2-6 hours, covered, in a warm spot.
Bake the Perfect Sourdough Pizza!
- Divide the dough into 2 equal balls. Each ball will make a 12 inch pizza.
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Roll the dough out to fill a 12 inch pizza pan or a 13x18inch sheet pan. Allow dough to rest for 15 minutes. Put on pizza sauce and any toppings but NOT the cheese yet.
- Place the pans of the dough, sauce, and toppings in the oven for 8 minutes. Remove the pizza and add the cheese. Cook for an additional 7 to 9 minutes, making sure the cheese has melted but the crust doesn’t burn.
- Remove from oven, cut into slices, and enjoy!

Absolutely delicious and a great way to use sourdough discard!
Great recipe! I’m new to the sourdough world and was looking for recipes for the discard. Tried this yesterday. It was so easy and I had great results. We loved it for our pizza last night. Will probably freeze the second ball of dough to use at a later date. Loved the added herbs to the dough. This recipe will definitely be in rotation for meal planning.
Can you freeze the second ball of crust? I don’t need 2 pizzas.
Hi Kathy – yes you can freeze the second half of the dough for later!
Delicious! Crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. So yummy! I love that it is vegan and oil free!
We love pizza in our house and this crust is gooooood
This is my favourite pizza recipe. So straightforward and doesn’t need too much pre- planning. I also hate wasting my sourdough starter so this is good for my conscience too. I usually top with home made tomato paste, pepper, mushrooms, capers and vegan cashew cheese topping- fabulous!!
Thank you so much David, so glad you like it – it’s definitely our go-to recipe as well for dough. I haven’t tried using vegan cashew cheese yet, but I certainly will 🙂
