Sourdough Pizza Crust (same Day Bake!)
  1. Feed your starter the night before you bake.

  2. Between 7–9 AM on the morning of baking, prepare your dough. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, dissolve the sourdough starter and honey in warm water, stirring vigorously with a fork until fully combined.

  3. Next add the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix with your hands until all the flour has absorbed the water. The olive oil will clump and that is okay. The mixture will be very wet and sticky.

  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let rest in the warmest spot of your kitchen for 30 minutes.

  5. After the dough has rested, fold it into itself repeatedly for about 3-5 minutes in the bowl or on a floured surface.

  6. Coat your mixing bowl with olive oil and place the dough back in the bowl making sure to coat your dough in the olive oil (roll it around). Cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

  7. After the dough has rested, perform the first stretch and fold, then cover it with plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes. Repeat with a second stretch and fold, cover again, and allow the dough to rest until it has doubled in size.

  8. Once the dough has doubled in size and has some air bubbles (approximately 6 hours later) preheat the oven to 450 degrees F with the baking pan(s) in the oven.

  9. Place the sourdough pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. If you are making 2 pizzas, cut the dough in half and shape 2 small balls. Allow it to rest for 20 minutes.

  10. Cut 2 10-11 inch pieces of parchment paper, or 1 large 20-inch one for your pizza. Place dough balls on the parchment paper and stretch until you have your desired pizza shape and thickness then let it rest for 20 minutes.

  11. If you want to avoid your pizza from excessively puffing up during baking, poke some holes in the dough using a fork.

  12. Optional: Coat the sourdough pizza dough with olive oil and seasoning of your choice before placing it into the oven.

  13. Place your pizza(s) on the baking pan(s) and bake for 10 minutes on 450 degrees F.

  14. After 10 minutes, remove the sourdough pizza crust and add your desired toppings.

  15. Place the sourdough pizza crust back in for another 5-10 minutes depending on your crispiness preference.

  16. Remove the sourdough pizza from the oven and enjoy!
