RUNTIME: ~36 s · 90 spoken words
HOOK: Discard pizza crust tastes tangier, browns faster, and needs a little less water.
BEAT 1: Traditional dough relies on yeast for lift. Discard crust uses starter flavor, so add yeast or baking powder if you want puff. [on-screen: Traditional equals lift, discard equals flavor] [b-roll: two dough balls side by side]
BEAT 2: Discard already contains flour and water. Start with less added water, then adjust until the dough feels soft, not sticky. [on-screen: Add water slowly] [b-roll: hand squeezing dough texture]
BEAT 3: The acids in discard help browning and tang. Bake hot, and do not overload sauce or the center can soften. [on-screen: Hot oven, light sauce, crisp bottom] [b-roll: crust bottom lifted to show browning]
CTA: Save this before pizza night, and share whether you like thin, chewy, or crispy crust.
