Sourdough Pizza
Embrace the art of homemade with this Sourdough Pizza – tangy, nutritious sourdough crust meets your favorite toppings for a custom, delicious creation.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sourdough starter ideally not fed within the last 6 hours
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ½ teaspoon of instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ - ¾ cup lukewarm water may need additional if it is too dry
- 2 tablespoon cornmeal optional but recommended
Toppings
- Tomato Sauce (or pesto!)
- Cheese (I love adding a pourable vegan mozzarella)
- Peppers + onions (or whatever else you'd like!)
- Sea Salt Flakes to sprinkle
Instructions
- Mix your sourdough starter so there is no liquid layer on the top. Add your starter, flour, yeast, salt, and lukewarm water to a bowl.
- Mix in a stand mixer for 6-8 minutes adding additional water if it’s too dry. (until a doughy consistency, in this recipe I added a little too much water so it’s a little wetter than normal- but if that happens to you, all you need to do is add a little more flour!)
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl for 2-4 hours (until it doubles in size). For a faster rise, place it by a sunny window or somewhere warm.
- Divide the dough in 2 or 3 and roll it out into your desired shape. Let it rest for another 10-15 minutes. While it rises, preheat the oven to 450F.
- Transfer dough to a pizza pan and coat the bottom with cornmeal (this is a tip to ensure 1. the dough doesn’t stick to the pan, and 2. The bottom has an extra crunch)
- Sauce the pizza and add desired toppings for 12-15 minutes then remove and enjoy!
