Easy Homemade Sourdough Pizza Dough Recipe

4 servings
Soft, chewy, and tangy, this sourdough pizza dough is the perfect recipe for those family pizza nights. Start the dough in the morning and it will be ready to bake up with your favorite toppings in the afternoon.

Ingredients

  • starter
    ½ c
  • flour
    4 c
  • water
    1 ½ c
  • salt
    2 tsp
  • olive oil
    2 tbsp

Directions

  1. 1

    The morning of pizza night, add the ingredients to a stand mixer bowl.

  2. 2

    With a dough hook, mix the dough on medium speed until the dough passes the windowpane test, which might take up to 10 minutes.

  3. 3

    Place in an oiled bowl and cover with a lid or plastic wrap. Rest at room temperature for about 8 hours.

  4. 4

    Preheat oven to 475.

  5. 5

    Divide the dough into 4 equal sections and allow to rest while you prepare your toppings.

  6. 6

    Roll out on a lightly floured surface. I like to create a bit of a ridge around the outside for hand stretched thickness.

  7. 7

    Spread pizza sauce and top with your favorite toppings.

  8. 8

    Bake for 13-15 minutes (I like to use a preheated pizza stone or cast iron skillet but you can also use a pizza pan.). Finish off with a 3 minute broil to achieve the browning on top of the crust.
