Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 350 grams water (preferably lukewarm)
- 110 grams sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 500 grams all-purpose or bread flour
- 10 grams salt
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the lukewarm water and sourdough starter. Stir until well combined.
- Add the flour and salt, mixing until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 4-6 hours or until doubled in size.
- Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C), placing a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
- Divide the dough into two equal portions and roll each one out into a thin circle on a floured surface.
- Carefully transfer the dough onto parchment paper or a pizza peel, then add your favorite toppings.
- Transfer the pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you don’t have a pizza stone, a preheated baking sheet will work well too.
- For best results, make sure your sourdough starter is active and bubbly before using it in the dough.
- You can make the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours for a more developed flavor.
