Ingredients
Scale
- 100 g starter (fed or unfed)
- 300 g all purpose flour
- 150g water (room temperature)
- 10 g salt
- 15 g extra virgin olive oil (1 tbs)
Instructions
- THE NIGHT BEFORE: To a mixing bowl add: 100g starter (fed or unfed), 300g all purpose flour, 150g water, 10g salt, 15g Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Using a spurtle or spatula mix the ingredients together to incorporate everything.
- Then use your hands to mix the rest of the way, forming it into a dough ball, cover, and leave on the counter overnight. Do not worry about kneading it at this point.
- THE DAY OF: Preheat a pizza stone or cast iron skillet in a 450°F oven.
- While the oven and pizza stone heat up: Generously flour a clean dry surface and hand knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out about a 1/4″ thick by 14 inches in diameter.
- Once the oven has reached 450°F, remove the pizza stone, drizzle with olive oil, and use a basting brush or spatula to coat the entire stone.
- Gently place the dough on the pizza stone and carefully use your hands to spread it out making a slight ridge on the edges.
- Drizzle the top of the dough with olive oil, and spread it out using the basting brush or spatula.
- Use a fork to poke holes all around the crust. This helps it get a bit crispier.
- Precook the crust for 5-7 minutes. DO NOT add any toppings yet.
- Remove the pizza crust after 5-7 minutes. You just want it to be slightly baked and set.
- Add the sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.
- Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble.
