Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup/240g. Sourdough Starter Active or Discard
  • Olive Oil for seasoning the cast irons
  • Favorite Pizza Toppings

Instructions
 

  • Place cast iron(s) in the oven and preheat the oven to 500℉
  • When the cast iron is preheated, carefully remove it from the oven and drizzle a few tablespoons of olive oil onto the hot pan.
  • Pour 1 cup of sourdough starter into the hot cast iron, spreading out and around, going up the side of the pan to get a nice crust.
  • Place the cast iron back into the oven, and turn the oven down to 475℉. Let the crust par-bake, for about 5 minutes.
  • Remove the cast iron from the oven when the crust looks set, but not golden brown.
  • Add the toppings and bake again until toppings are bubblin'.
  • Bon Appétite!

Notes

  • When making many of these 9" pizzas, I bake them in multiple hot cast irons and transfer them to a large parchment-lined baking sheet, add my toppings, and bake again. 
  • When left to cool on a cutting board for a few minutes the pizzas will firm up. 
  • These quick crusts do not replace my traditional pizza crust recipe. They're delicious nonetheless. Putting the cheese on the bottom and the sauce dolloped on top of the cheese helps with a soggy crust issue.  
  • Each 9" cast iron pizza is personal pizza-sized. I typically make 4-5 of these for my family of 5. 
  • The longer your sourdough starter/discard has sat, the tangier the crusts will be.
