Description
Normally when I feed my starter, I mix the discard with baking powder and salt to make 2 Sourdough Discard Flatbreads. But today I wanted to try something different. Could I turn that same simple mixture into a pie crust? With just 2 ingredients, this recipe transforms sourdough discard into a low-calorie, thin, bread-like pie crust. Just line a pie pan with parchment paper, mix, spread, and bake.

- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Baking powder
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a 9" pie pan with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, mix together your starter with salt and baking powder using a silicone spatula. Spread the mixture into a thin, even layer covering the bottom of the pan. The mixture will only cover the bottom, not the sides.
- The baking time for this pie crust depends on how you plan to use it. If you are parbaking the crust before adding a filling that will bake for 30-45 minutes at 350F, parbake the crust at 350F for about 15 minutes, or until lightly browned and set.
- If you are using this crust for an ice-box pie or another pie with a filling that does not get baked, fully bake the crust beforehand. Bake at 350F for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown.
Notes
- The parchment paper is essential for preventing the crust from sticking. Without it, the crust can stick so badly to the pan that you may not be able to remove a slice. Lining a pie pan with parchment paper may seem unconventional, but so is making a pie crust out of sourdough starter!
- Feel free to use this pie crust for anything sweet or even savory. Make a Shoofly Pie, or make a Deep Dish. Whatever you want!
- Nutrition facts for the pie crust are assuming 8 slices.
