Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat your oven to a blazing 500°F (260°C). Place a pizza stone or baking steel in the oven while it preheats for at least 30 minutes to ensure even cooking. (30 minutes)

02

Step

In a large bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, and salt. Mix until a shaggy dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. (7 minutes)

03

Step

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more pronounced sourdough flavor. (30 minutes)

04

Step

Gently deflate the dough and divide it in half if you'd like to make two smaller pizzas. On a lightly floured surface, stretch or roll the dough into your desired shape – a circle, oval, or rectangle. (5 minutes)

05

Step

Carefully transfer the pizza dough to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal or semolina flour. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to slide the pizza onto the hot stone. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Brush the crust with olive oil. Add your desired toppings, being careful not to overload the pizza. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking steel. Bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking. (8 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving immediately.
