This gluten free sourdough discard pizza crust recipe is so delicious you’d hardly know it was gluten free! Dough can be made ahead and makes 2 12″ thin crust pizzas or 1 14″ thick crust pizza. Either way you slice it, this is going to be a new low FODMAP dinner favorite!

Gluten Free Sourdough Discard Pizza Crust

This gluten free sourdough discard pizza crust recipe is going to quickly become your new favorite way to use up your gluten free sourdough discard. Whether you are a fan of thick crust or thin, you can make this gluten free sourdough discard pizza crust both ways to satisfy even the choosiest of pizza fans!

Ingredients for Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza Crust

  • Gluten Free Sourdough Starter Discard: You will need gluten free sourdough discard in order to make this low FODMAP recipe. Make sure that your discard is unfed when using, meaning as you are going about feeding your gluten free sourdough starter, remove 1 cup (this is the “discard”) prior to feeding your starter as normal.
  • Gluten Free 1:1 Flour: This recipe works best with gluten free measure for measure flour, also known as 1:1 flour. I originally tested this recipe using King Arthur Gluten Free Measure for Measure flour, but it also will work with Bob’s Red Mill or any other gluten free 1:1 flour. I have not tested this recipe using any other flours and it should be known that if you swap in a flour other than gluten free 1:1 measure for measure flour, like almond flour or coconut flour, I cannot guarantee that this gluten free sourdough discard pizza crust recipe will turn out.
  • Instant Yeast: I used Fleishmann’s Instant Yeast in this recipe but if you are looking for a yeastless pizza crust option, you can try this Paleo Vegan Pizza Crust recipe instead!
  • Lukewarm Water: It is important for the water to be lukewarm in order to activate the yeast.
  • Salt

What equipment do I need to make gluten free sourdough discard pizza crust?

  • Stand Mixer + Dough Hook: I prefer to make this sourdough discard pizza crust using my stand mixer and dough hook as it is far easier to do this way, but you can absolutely use your hands to knead the dough if a stand mixer isn’t something you have access to.
  • Glass Mixing Bowl: I also like to make this recipe using a glass mixing bowl for proofing. Yeast doesn’t love metal bowls, so I found this to be the best alternative. You can also use ceramic if you do not have glass.

As someone who has been eating gluten free for over 5 years now, getting a decent slice of pizza was something I thought was far gone in the past. Thankfully, this gluten free sourdough discard recipe makes enjoying pizza on a gluten free diet possible again!

It’s a super simple recipe, yeast free, and makes a killer deep dish or thin crust pizza!

Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 cup unfed gluten free sourdough starter
  • 1/2 cup lukewarm water
  • 2 1/2 cups gluten free 1:1 flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp instant yeast

For the Sauce

  • 1 can plain tomato sauce no spices, etc added
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1-2 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp thyme
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • optional: 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

For the Crust:

  • Stir any liquid on top of your starter back into it before measuring out 1 cup.
  • Add starter, water, flour, salt, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low using a dough hook, about 7 minutes. You could also knead by hand if you do not have a mixer.
  • Place the dough into a pre-greased bowl (I just used an olive oil spray) cover with a kitchen towel and allow dough to rise in a warm place until about doubled in bulk. This took about 2-3 hours for me and will depend on how active your discard is.
  • For a thin crust pizza, divide dough ball in half to make 2 12" pizzas or use the original dough ball to make one 14" thick crust pizza. I've tried it both ways and the thin crust is my favorite!
  • Pre-heat oven to 450 while you work the pizza dough.
  • If you have one, use a cast iron pizza pan coated with a little cornmeal for crispiest results. If not, grease a cookie sheet or pizza pan and work dough into a circle (or rectangle if using a cookie sheet)
  • Drizzle the dough with garlic infused olive oil and spread with a spoon, adding sauce next.
  • Bake the dough for about 10 minutes prior to adding toppings, then bake again another 10-12 minutes until cheese is fully melted and crust is beginning to reach a golden brown.

For the Sauce:

  • Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, reserving about 1/4 cup fire roasted tomatoes. Pulse until basil is chopped, then stir in reserved fire roasted tomato if you like a chunkier sauce.

    Hi there –

    Could this be made & then worked into a ball and frozen? Then defrosted and prepared as mentioned above?

    Thank you!

    Hi Lizzie! While I haven’t tested this out with this particular recipe yet, in my experience working with gluten free doughs, I do not see why that would not work! I would just be sure to wrap it really well before freezing and give it ample time to defrost at room temp before using. You’ll have to let me know how it turns out if you get the chance to try!
