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 that covers the bottom of a 9-inch pie pan without extending up the sides. Just line a pie pan with parchment paper, mix, spread, and bake.

- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
Cook Mode Off: Prevents screen dimming
- Preheat your oven to 350F. Line the bottom of a 9" pie pan with parchment paper.
- Add your starter directly to the pan with salt. Mix together with a silicone spatula, then spread the mixture into a thin, even layer covering the bottom of the pan. The mixture will only cover the bottom, not the sides.
- Bake at 350F for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned and set on the bottom. Let it cool totally (at least 30 minutes in the fridge) before adding any pie filling.
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.
