Try these irresistible sourdough biscuits if you are ready to bring something new and tasty to the lunch table.

I shared with you recently about the cheddar sourdough biscuits my sister developed to feed her brood, and now she’s done it again by developing a savory, irresistible pizza-flavored version!

These biscuits combine the mouth-watering flavors of pepperoni, two types of cheese, olives, oregano, and a hint of cayenne.

This simple lunch recipe is easier and faster than making homemade pizza, but the tantalizing flavors from the classic dish remains.

These pizza biscuits take just a few minutes to make: the perfect easy lunch for busy moms.

You quite literally roll the ingredients for these drop biscuits together and plop them on your pan.

Ingredients

The ingredient list may be long, but don’t let that deter you from making these biscuits.. you are literally going to dump all the ingredients into ONE bowl.

Here are the simple ingredients you need to make these savory sourdough pizza bombs:

• 1 cup sourdough discard: (should be flat and runny)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 1 cup pepperoni pieces, chopped
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup olives, chopped (optional, some of my kids hate olives!)
• 1 Tablespoon baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp cayenne
• 1/4 tsp oregano
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder

*Sub 1-2 teaspoons of pizza seasoning for the herbs if you have it.

How To Make Easy Sourdough Pizza Biscuits

These savory biscuits are so easy to make and take less than ten minutes to whip together!

First, whisk the flour, baking soda, spices, and salt together.  

Next, add in the sourdough starter discard, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, pepperoni, and melted butter.

Mix everything with a spatula, ensuring all the ingredients are well incorporated. The dough will look like a big, messy ball of pizza.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and line a baking pan with parchment paper.

Separate the dough into 9-10 balls and plop them on the baking sheet, leaving a few inches between each biscuit.

Bake for 15-17 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown on the bottoms. (You may have to flip one over to check).

Storage

Store leftover biscuits like you would pizza: put them in an airtight container and refrigerate for 1-3 days.

To freeze, store in a freezer-safe container for up to two months.

Variations

These sourdough discard biscuits are so fun because you can easily swap out the ingredients. Much like homemade pizza, they are customizable:

• Add in sausage to make them a “meat lover’s” favorite.
• Mix in dried, sliced tomatoes to get the flavor of pizza sauce.
• Sub in different types of cheese like extra sharp.
• Spice these biscuits up with by increasing the amount of cayenne.
