Sourdough Pizza Crust

Ingredients
  

  • 227 grams sourdough starter unfed/discard
  • 150 grams lukewarm water original calls for 141g to 170g water but 150 is what I used.
  • 300 grams All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon instant yeast

Instructions
 

  • Start with smaller amount of water and mix all together in mixer. If too dry, add drops of water at a time. Knead with dough hook 7 mins. Move to oiled cambro container.
  • Let rise (covered) for 2-4 hours until doubled.
  • Can then divide in half (about 336 grams each) and make 2 12-inch pizzas.
  • I chose to refrigerate it at this point over night and the next day let come to room temp before using. Can also let rise 45-60 mins and proceed. (I did not have good results freezing this dough and don’t recommend it!)
  • Press out onto parchment round and dock bottom with a fork.
  • Drizzle with olive oil/sprinkle of salt.
  • I set stone on second rack from top of my oven and preheat to 500.
  • Baked 5 mins. Removed parchment and baked another 5 mins.
  • Remove and add cheeses, sauce.
  • Bake again for another 7-10 mins.
  • You can also parbake it an hour ahead and then add toppings later if making a few pizzas.
  • Dough can also be frozen after proofing.
