Incredible Sourdough Pizza Crust Recipes

Steps:

• Mix starter, flour, olive oil, and salt together in a bowl until mixture forms a ball. Let dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Roll out dough on parchment paper or a lightly floured work surface, rotating frequently, until it is the same size as the baking pan. Transfer to the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pale golden, about 7 minutes.

Steps:

• Sprinkle yeast into warm water and sugar.
• Stir and let stand until it because foamy.
• Mix in Oil, sourdough starter,salt and one half of the flour.
• Gradually add enough of the remaining flour to make a dough.
• Turn dough onto smooth, lightly floured surface.
• Knead until smooth and elastic.
• Put in lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat all sides, cover with a cloth and let rise until doubled. This will take about an hour.
• Punch down and shape into two pizza crusts.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Sprinkle pizza pan or baking stone with Corn meal before placing the crust on it.
• Prebake crust for 10 minutes.
• Remove from Oven.
• Brush crusts with olive oil and spread with tomato sauce, then top with toppings of your choice.
• Sprinkle with grated mozzarella cheese and parmesan cheese, if desired.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes at 425 degrees. Might take longer depending how thick your toppings are.
• Prep time includes rising time.
• 8-10 servings per pizza crust depending on size of slices.

Steps:

• Combine flour, sourdough starter, water, oil, sugar, milk powder, yeast, and salt in a large bowl. Mix by hand until flour is incorporated. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Knead dough for 6 minutes; allow to rest for 6 minutes. Repeat 3 times.
• Transfer dough to an oiled pan; cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Separate dough into 6 equal rounds; let rest 10 minutes. Roll out each portion to desired crust size.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Cool on a rack; freeze in resealable plastic bags separated by parchment paper.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Mix starter, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and flour together in a mixing bowl until it blends and forms a ball (add more or less flour to adjust consistency; if you get it too dry just add a little more starter).
• Allow dough to rest for about 30 minutes (don't look for it to rise, just to get the dough where it is easier to roll).
• Roll out mixture on parchment paper or a lightly floured surface until it fits the size of your pan, turning the dough as you roll (if you want a more even circle).
• Par-bake the crust on a pizza stone or pizza sheet for about 7 minutes, then remove from oven.
• Before topping your pizza with any sauce, cheese, or toppings, brush the top of the crust all over with remaining olive oil (as needed), using a pastry brush (this helps keep soggy moisture out of the crust as it bakes).
• Top as desired and cook until browned and cheese is melted.
• If you use certain vegetables as a topping (onions are the first thing that comes to mind) you might want to cook those about halfway before topping the pizza with them (or they will be too crunchy).
