100g Sourdough Starter, 345g Warm Water, 15g Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Add flour and salt and combine with a dough whisk or your hands until no dry flour remains.
500g Bread Flour, 10g Salt
Cover the bowl and let sit for 30 minutes.
Perform 3 sets of stretch & folds, 30 minutes apart. To do this use, wet hands to lift the dough up and over itself 4 times turning the bowl each time.
Let sit at room temperature for 6-12 hours.
Divide the dough in to 4 portions and shape into tight balls. Place in small oiled bowls. Cover and place in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for 3 months.
When you are ready to bake, take the dough out of the fridge a few hours ahead of time to come up to room temperature. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F with a pizza stone inside 1 hour before you want to bake the pizza.
Spread a little olive oil on a piece of parchment paper and place a dough ball on it. Sprinkle some flour on top and carefully shape the dough into a round, press from the middle outward until you have your desired shape.
Add whatever toppings you like and trim the parchment paper to avoid burning. Then place the pizza on the hot pizza stone. Bake for 15 minutes or until the cheese is browned.
- Depending on the flour you use, you might need a little more or a little less water. I used King Arthur Organic Bread Flour for this recipe. It needs slightly less water than the non-organic King Arthur flour.
- The bread flour can be substituted with all purpose flour.
