Servings: 3 crusts
Ingredients
- 350 grams water
- 100 grams active sourdough starter
- 500 grams unbleached bread flour
- 10 grams salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add in the water and sourdough starter. Whisk until the starter is dissolved. *You can make this in a stand mixer and use a dough hook if you'd like.
- Next, add in the flour and salt. Use the whisk to combine the ingredients until a shaggy dough forms.
- Wet one hand and knead for 5 minutes. If using a stand mixer, knead for 5 minutes on low speed.
- Cover and let rest for 1 hour.
- Perform a set of 4 coil folds every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours.
- Cover and let it rest for around 2 hours or until it has risen some and has formed bubbles on top.
- Weigh the dough and then divide it into either 2 or 3 sections. Form those sections into balls. I divide it into 3 balls which gives us three 10-12" pizzas.
- Place the balls in a Tupperware with a lid and then place it in the fridge.
- If making fermented pizza dough, leave it in the fridge overnight and bake it the next day.

- Remove it from the fridge and press it into semolina flour, coating both sides well.
- Press it out gently with your hands and then once it is larger than your hand, lift it up using both hands and carefully stretch it out.
- Place it back onto a lightly floured pizza peel or parchment paper (depending on how you are cooking it) and stretch it out further if needed. Be careful not to tear it.
- Top lightly with sauce, low moisture mozzarella and whatever toppings you desire.
- If using a pizza oven, preheat it to around 700 degrees and then place the pizza in the oven. Wait 1 minute before you begin turning. Turn every 15 seconds until the entire crust is browned and cooked through. Remove and enjoy!
- If using an oven, place your pizza stone inside and preheat to 400 degrees.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the crust is browned and the pizza is bubbly. Slice and enjoy!
