Description

This simple sourdough pizza crust is soft, chewy, and tangy. The perfect recipe for those family pizza nights.


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

  1. 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.
  2. Using a spurtle or spatula mix the ingredients together to incorporate everything.
  3. 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.
  4. THE DAY OF: Preheat a pizza stone or cast iron skillet in a 450°F oven.
  5. While the oven and pizza stone heat up: Generously flour a clean dry surface and hand knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
  6. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out about a 1/4″ thick by 14 inches in diameter.
  7. 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.
  8. Gently place the dough on the pizza stone and carefully use your hands to spread it out making a slight ridge on the edges.
  9. Drizzle the top of the dough with olive oil, and spread it out using the basting brush or spatula.
  10. Use a fork to poke holes all around the crust. This helps it get a bit crispier.
  11. Precook the crust for 5-7 minutes. DO NOT add any toppings yet.
  12. Remove the pizza crust after 5-7 minutes. You just want it to be slightly baked and set.
  13. Add the sauce, cheese, and toppings of your choice.
  14. Bake for an additional 10-12 minutes or until the cheese begins to bubble.
