Instructions
Before we dive into the recipe, let me tell you about my personal experience with making sourdough pizza. I was a bit intimidated at first because I had never worked with sourdough before, but I followed Jamie’s recipe step by step and it turned out amazing. The dough was soft and chewy, and the flavors were just perfect. Plus, it was easier to digest than regular pizza. Now, let’s get started!
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and dried yeast.
- Add the olive oil, water, and sourdough starter. Mix until the dough comes together.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a clean bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for at least 2 hours (or overnight) in a warm place until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 250°C/475°F/gas 9 and place a baking sheet or pizza stone on the bottom shelf.
- Divide the dough into two balls and roll them out on a floured surface until they’re about 0.5cm thick.
- Spread some tomato sauce on each pizza, leaving a 1cm border around the edges.
- Add your favorite toppings and some mozzarella cheese.
- Bake the pizzas on the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone for about 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and crispy.
- Serve and enjoy!
