A rustic sourdough pizza crust with a chewy texture, crisp exterior, and slightly tangy flavor, perfect for homemade artisan-style pizzas.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 3/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix the sourdough starter with warm water until loosened.
  2. Add flour and salt, mixing until a rough dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough until smooth and elastic.
  4. Drizzle in olive oil and continue kneading until fully incorporated.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rest for 4 to 8 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Divide the dough into 2 portions and let them rest for 20–30 minutes.
  7. Gently stretch each portion into a pizza shape, preserving air bubbles.
  8. Add desired toppings.
  9. Bake in a very hot oven (about 240–260°C / 475–500°F) for 10–12 minutes or until golden and crisp.

Notes

  • Use active sourdough starter for best rise and flavor.
  • Add more flour if dough feels too sticky during kneading.
  • Preheat a pizza stone or baking tray for a crispier crust.
  • Brush edges with olive oil for a golden finish.
  • Whole wheat flour can be substituted for part of the flour for added flavor.
