Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 75 grams ripe sourdough starter Should be fed and bubbly
  • 160 grams water, lukewarm
  • 270 grams Italian style '00' flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour
  • 30 grams whole wheat flour Can substitute with all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon pizza dough flavor Optional
  • 8 grams extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 grams kosher salt

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine the sourdough starter, lukewarm water, flours, pizza dough flavor (if using), olive oil, and kosher salt.
  2. Knead the mixture on low speed until the dough forms a cohesive ball, about 5 to 10 minutes.
  3. Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it bulk ferment at room temperature for about 3 hours, performing a set of stretches and folds every 30 minutes.
  4. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into equal pieces, shaping each piece into a ball.
  5. Place the dough balls into a lightly oiled container, cover it, and let the dough rise in the fridge overnight.
Baking
  1. Preheat your pizza oven to 900°F or a conventional oven to 550°F.
  2. Remove the dough balls from the fridge and stretch one ball on a floured surface to your desired size.
  3. Add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings without overloading the pizza.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 2 minutes in a pizza oven or 5-7 minutes in a conventional oven.
  5. Once the crust is golden and crispy, take it out, let it cool for a minute, slice, and enjoy.

Notes

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F.
