Sourdough Discard:

Breakfast Pizza

This one’s a morning favorite around here. Think crispy sourdough discard crust topped with eggs, cheese, and whatever breakfasty bits you’ve got on hand—bacon, spinach, tomatoes, you name it. It comes together fast, no rising required, and makes the perfect savory start to your day (with a little tang from the discard, of course).

Bonus: It reheats like a dream—eat it cold, or pop a slice in the skillet the next morning for a quick, hearty breakfast on the go.

Discard Breakfast Pizza Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Sourdough Discard

  • Whatever seasonings you desire. (This is what I used)

    • Mineral Salt

    • Garlic Powder

    • Oregano

    • Black Pepper

  • Whatever breakfast ingredients you want. (This is what I used)

    • Eggs

    • Pesto

    • Potatoes

    • Turkey Bacon

    • Cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat & Prep

    Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) with your cast iron pan inside. *Make sure pan is well seasoned (I use tallow) to insure your pizza comes out clean

  2. Make the crust

    Add about 1 cup (or so) of sourdough discard to your hot preheated cast iron. *Optional: Add some seasonings to the pan. I sprinkled some mineral salt, garlic, onion, and oregano on mine.

  3. Pre-bake the crust

    Pop the crust back into the oven (425°F) and bake for 10 minutes.

  4. Add toppings

    Remove the crust from the oven and add your desired toppings.

    For mine, I started with shredding some fresh mozzarella directly on the crust, added some chopped turkey bacon, diced cooked potatoes, and eggs. You can use whatever ingredients are in your fridge that need to get used up! (ie. tomatoes, zucchini, feta, ect.) Get creative. You can also put pesto or pizza sauce directly on the crust, if you wish.

  5. Bake again

    Pop it back into the oven (425°F) and bake for an additional 10 minutes.

  6. Serve

    Remove pizza from the oven. Optional: Drizzle some fresh pesto on top and/or top with some fresh spinach or microgreens! Pizza will be hot, so allow for it to cool slightly before eating.
