Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Your choice of toppings (e.g., mozzarella cheese, fresh basil, tomatoes)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter and water. Gradually add flour and salt until well mixed.
  2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  3. Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 4-6 hours until doubled in size.
  4. Punch down the risen dough, divide it into two portions, and shape each portion on parchment paper.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475?F (245?C), ideally with a pizza stone inside.
  6. Add sauce and toppings to your shaped dough, then bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

Use room temperature ingredients for better fermentation.

Allow resting time between shaping for easier handling.

Experiment with toppings but maintain balance for the best flavor.
