Sourdough Pizzas with Three Cheeses
Homemade sourdough pizzas are such a treat! If you have a sourdough starter available, you can easily make an amazing, deeply flavorful pizza crust. This sourdough pizza crust recipe will make for an incredible pizza even with the simplest of toppings.
Ingredients
Dough
- 100 g (1 cup) sourdough starter
- 200 g (1 cup) flour, my mix was around half white bread flour, half rye flour
- 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp of salt
Topping
- 1 portion pizza sauce, try my five minute white wine pizza sauce
- 125 g (4.4 oz) 4.4oz buffalo mozzarella, sliced
- A couple of different hard cheeses, grated or cut into small cubes
- Basil leaves
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven. Go for a temperature of at least 230C / 450F. The higher the temperature, the more the dough will crisp up. I've tried this at 300C / 570F and that works very well too- it goes super crispy. The ones pictured were a lower temperature, in hindsight I preferred them at 300C/570F.
- Make the dough
- Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl and knead for a few minutes until a robust dough has formed. Depending on how moist your starter is you may want to add some water, a teaspoon at a time.
- Let rest for at least half an hour. The longer, the better.
- Make the pizzas
- Split dough into 4 equal portions and roll or stretch the dough out to form rectangles or circles, whichever shape you prefer.
- Spread sauce or tomato puree on top, and sprinkle on the cheese.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes (this will largely depend on your oven temperature so keep a close eye on them!)
- Top each pizza with a few basil leaves, a few grinds of black pepper, and a drizzle of garlic oil.
