Sourdough Discard Pizza

You'd think I would be taking better care of my sourdough starter now that I'm home... 😬

It was well past time to refresh my sourdough starter, but I didn't want to take a long time dealing with the discard. It didn't occur to me that I could just leave it in a container in the fridge to deal with later. 🤦‍♀️ Instead, I used the discard to make a super quick pizza base in our cast iron. 

Step one, let the cast iron heat up so that the dough will be easy to scrape off later. 

Step two, spread the sourdough discard all over the base and sides of the pan. I forgot that I did a smaller refresh of the sourdough last time so that all I'd need to do to refresh would be to add more flour and water to the whole mix. Sorry past Emily; your time saving trick was for naught. 

When I spread the discard around the pan, it didn't even make it to the edges. Guess the pizza will be small. 

Step three, let the dough cook for a little bit, then add toppings. I cracked some duck eggs over spinach, mushrooms, and onions. Cheese and avocado were added later. 

Step four, pop the whole thing in the oven until the toppings look cooked. Super specific I know, but I was working off a short internet video and had to make things up as I went along. I think I cooked it for 15min at 400 degrees. 

Step five, cut into slices! 

And it didn't even leave a mess in the pan...
