This sourdough pizza discard recipe is an un-recipe; more like a method and you just take it and run with it! Honestly, if this is on the menu, I purposely feed my sourdough to accommodate growing children ’round here. This pizza was born out of a no-food-in-the-fridge what can I make, kinda lunch. It was a huge hit, so it’s become an easy, quick staple lunch; just like my snack tray lunches.

I like to use my cast iron pan and homemade tallow or lard when making sourdough pizza because I personally like to pop it into the oven after I add the toppings. This sourdough pizza has a soft texture and the tallow (or lard) will give the outside a little crunch. The oven is optional, but you will want a pan with a lid to make sure the cheese melts before serving.
