Simple Sourdough Pizza Recipe
Ingredients
- 300 g wheat flour, tipo 00 or a strong bread flour
- 180 g water
- 60 g active sourdough starter, bubbly and at its peak
- 8 g fine sea salt
Method
Tap a step when it is done.
Mix all the ingredients and knead until the dough is smooth and cohesive.
Let it rise for a couple of hours at room temperature, then refrigerate it overnight, or for up to several days. The longer, the more flavour.
Shaping
Take the dough out of the fridge 1 to 2 hours before use. Divide it into balls and let them come to temperature, covered, on the counter.
Stretch the dough by hand, never with a rolling pin. Press from the centre outwards and leave the edge thick.
Baking
Place the baking steel as high in the oven as possible, close to the grill element. Preheat the oven at maximum for at least 45 to 60 minutes, and turn on the grill for the last 5 minutes.
Put the pizza on the steel and bake for 4 to 6 minutes, until the edge is dark and blistered and the base is crisp.
Hydration is about 63 percent. For more flavour, let the dough rest 48 to 72 hours at the bottom of the fridge at 2 to 4°C. With more experience you can go up to 70 to 75 percent for a more open edge. From Peter's Sourdough Book.
