Best Sourdough Discard recipe: Fried pizza
When we make dough for pizza or bread, we often end up with leftover scraps that we’re not sure how to use. Instead of wasting them, why not turn them into something delicious?
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 9 oz sourdough discard
- 30 oz sunflower oil
- 6 oz dry cured prosciutto
- 4 fresh mozzarella
Instructions
- Start by rolling out the leftover dough on a lightly floured surface. You can do this by hand or with a rolling pin, aiming for a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
- Use a round cutter or a simple glass to cut small dough circles, roughly 1.5–2 inches in diameter.
- Meanwhile, heat the frying oil in a pot to 375°F (190°C). A kitchen thermometer is very helpful to get the temperature just right.
- Fry the dough discs for 4–5 minutes, adding only 2–3 at a time to keep the oil hot and ensure even cooking.
- During frying, the discs will puff up, turning into golden, crispy spheres.
- Once they’re ready, cut them in half and fill with prosciutto and mozzarella for an extra delicious result.
- Serve them hot and enjoy the incredible flavor of freshly made fried pizza!
