Sourdough Pizza Dough Recipe​

  • Author: The Prestons
  • Prep Time: 30 minutes
  • Fermentation Time: 6-8 hours
  • Cook Time: 7-8 hours
  • Total Time: 27 minute
  • Yield: Servings: 2 medium pizzas

Ingredients

Scale
  • 500g (4 cups) bread flour
  • 100g (½ cup) active sourdough starter
  • 10g (2 tsp) salt
  • 325g (1⅓ cups) filtered water
  • 15g (1 tbsp) olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Mix flour and water in a large bowl. Let it rest for 30 minutes (autolyse process).
  • Add the sourdough starter and mix until combined.
  • Add salt and knead for 8-10 minutes, or use the stretch and fold method.
  • Cover with a damp towel and let it bulk ferment at room temperature for 6-8 hours.
  • Shape the dough into balls and proof for 30-60 minutes before baking.

Notes

For the best results, use an active and bubbly sourdough starter. If you prefer a tangier flavor, opt for a longer cold fermentation (up to 48 hours) in the fridge. When stretching the dough, avoid using a rolling pin to preserve its natural air bubbles, ensuring a light and airy crust. You can also freeze extra dough balls for up to 3 months—just thaw in the fridge overnight before use.
