Sourdough Starter Pizza Crust Recipe (Vegan, Dairy Free)

Sourdough starter pizza crust recipe is a great way to use castoff or discard sourdough starter! Mix with flour, yeast, and herbs to make a crispy delicious homemade pizza crust!  This recipe is vegan, egg free, and dairy free.  A great no-waste recipe to make with your sourdough discard.

This Homemade Sourdough Pizza Crust Is:

• Herby
• Garlicky
• Slightly Tart from the sourdough starter
• Earthy
• Easy to make with sourdough discard
• Vegan!

This crust gets really crispy on the outside and the bottom of the pizza, which holds the toppings so well! The flavor from the dried rosemary is fantastic, and it has a nice garlicky bite!

What’s In This Sourdough Discard Pizza Dough Recipe?

• Sourdough Discard: you can buy sourdough starter here, or I have a great guide on how to make your own in one week!
• All Purpose Flour: I normally use King Arthur organic all purpose flour for all my baking recipes, I love the consistency and texture of the crumb this flour produces. If you are gluten free, then a gluten free flour would be a nice substitute in this dish.
• 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, which has more natural minerals than plain processed table salt.  It’s fairly inexpensive, so I’d recommend this salt if you’re looking for an easy way to level up your spice pantry.
• 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.

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!

Pizza Recipes With Sourdough Starter Discard

This Sourdough Starter Pizza Dough recipe is the perfect way to use your sourdough discard from a starter.  I hate throwing out food (or rather, composting it!)- so I’m always looking for ways to resuse kitchen scraps to cut back on waste.  Instead of tossing your discard when you feed your sourdough starter, try this awesome recipe instead. I have a whole page on my site for recipes that use sourdough discard. That way you can add a hint of sourdough flavor to your baked goods, and cut back on food waste.

How Do I Make This Pizza Crust with Sourdough Starter?

1. Place 1 cup of your Sourdough starter in a large bowl.  Add the rest of the dough ingredients, and mix well to combine.
2. Knead dough for 10 minutes until the dough begins to thicken and gluten strands begin to form.
3. Allow dough to rest for 2-6 hours, covered, in a warm spot.

I love finding new ways to use my sourdough discard… aside from making the perfect sourdough bread, this is probably my favorite way to use the sourdough discard!
