Sourdough Pizza Crust
If you’re searching for a pizza crust that combines the tangy depth of sourdough with a crispy exterior and chewy interior, you’ve found it! This artisanal sourdough pizza crust recipe will elevate your homemade pizza night to a whole new level.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter about 7.5 oz
- 2 cups water about 16 oz
- 6 1/2 cups all-purpose flour about 26 oz
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine sourdough starter and water, stirring until the starter dissolves. Add all-purpose flour and salt, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rest at room temperature for 30 minutes. After resting, knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it ferment at room temperature for 24 hours. After 24 hours, perform a stretch and fold, then let it rest for another 24 hours.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions, shape into balls, and let them rest for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 500°F (260°C) with a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.
- On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to the preheated stone or sheet, add toppings of choice, and bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is golden.
