Directions

  1. 1Combine starter and water; add dry ingredients. Combine first with a fork and then with a dough scraper into a shaggy dough.
  2. 2Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rest (autolyse) for one hour.
  3. 3Stretch and fold the dough a few times until you have a more smooth dough. Cover with a damp tea towel and let bulk rise overnight.
  4. 4After bulk fermentation turn the dough out on a lightly-floured surface and dimple to de-gas.
  5. 5On a floured board, shape into 4 (245g each) or 2 (490g) equal size balls.
  6. 6Lightly grease your perforated pizza pan with a neutral oil that can take high heat.
  7. 7Let shaped dough rest for 10-15 minutes and then place dough on your pizza pan(s) and stretch into a 8-10” or 12-14” circle.
  8. 8Lightly oil shaped dough with olive oil and then top with your favorite sauce and toppings.
  9. 9Bake in a preheated 500° oven on the middle rack for 10 minutes on your pizza pan. Then carefully slide the pizza off the pan directly onto the oven rack. Bake for 5-6 more minutes until pizza crust is browned and the toppings are bubbly.
