Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place a pizza stone in the oven to heat up.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sourdough discard, all-purpose flour, salt, baking powder, and olive oil. Stir until it forms a dough.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 1-2 minutes until smooth.
  4. Divide the dough into two portions or keep it whole for one large pizza. Roll each portion out to your desired thickness.
  5. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto parchment paper. Brush a thin layer of olive oil over the crust.
  6. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until edges are golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for 1 minute. Slice and serve warm.
