👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven to 425 °F and place the cast-iron pan in the oven for 10 minutes.
2. 2Carefully remove the cast-iron pan from the oven and place it on a heat-safe surface.
3. 3Add 1 tablespoon of neutral oil to the cast-iron pan.
4. 4Pour ½ c sourdough discard onto the pan, and use a spatula to spread the batter evenly. Sprinkle ¼ tsp kosher salt over the batter.
5. 5Place the cast iron back into the oven and bake for 10 minutes. Carefully remove the cast iron and use a fisher turner to dislodge the pizza crust from the cast iron, but leave it in there. It should be almost finished cooking at this point: lightly browned in the center, more browned and not burned at the edges.
6. 6Add pizza sauce, keeping to a minimum to keep the dough crisp. This thin dough can handle about 2 tbsp sauce per 10” pizza crust.
7. 7Add cheese, protein, and toppings. Place the cast iron back into the oven again for 2 minutes, or until the toppings are golden and crispy.
8. 8Remove the cast iron from the oven. Gently move the pizza from the pan to a cutting board using a fish-turner. Cut slices and serve immediately since it will be crispy but not if you let it sit too long.
