- Pizza Sauce
- Cheese

Makes 14 – 3″ circle
Suggested Items:
Organic Flour from Azure Standard
🕒 Two Hours Before Baking:
In a stand mixer with the dough hook, combine sourdough discard, flour, olive oil or lard, baking powder, and salt. Mix for 5 minutes until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Note: If dough feels too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time.
Let the dough sit at room temperature for 1 hour to relax the gluten.
On a generously floured surface, press and stretch the dough out with your hands.
Pat or roll out to about 1/8 inch thick. You’ll get approx 14 pizzas using a 3″ circle cutter.If it springs back too much, rest for another 15 minutes.
While waiting, prep your pizza toppings: chop onions, peppers, etc.
Use a 3-inch cookie cutter (or your preferred size) to cut out dough circles. Gather scraps to make one final dough bite — no waste!
Heat a cast iron or heavy skillet over medium heat.
Place dough rounds onto the dry pan, cook until lightly browned, then flip and cook the other side.Transfer to a cookie sheet when done.
Repeat until all rounds are cooked.
Add a spoonful of sauce (try my [Homemade Pizza Sauce]!), cheese, and your favorite toppings.
Place tray under the broiler and cook for about 8 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly.
- OR you can keep cooking directly in the pans by placing the completed bagel bites and placing a lid on top and cook for several minutes until done on your stove top. Great if the power goes out and you run a gas stove.
