How to Make Sourdough Pizza Crust
- In a stand mixer (like a KitchenAid), dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water (105-115°F). Let stand for 8-10 minutes until foamy.
- Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning. Mix well.
- Add 1 cup of sourdough starter (fed and active, or adjust based on your starter's activity level). Mix well.
- Gradually add 2-3 cups of all-purpose flour, adding more until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If the dough is too dry, add a little more starter, a tablespoon at a time.
- Using the dough hook, knead for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turning once to coat.
- Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for 1.5-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the dough and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.
- Lightly grease a pizza pan or pizza stone and dust with 1/4 cup yellow cornmeal.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared pan. You can either roll it out with a rolling pin or gently stretch it by picking up one edge and slowly expanding the dough, working your way around until it fills the pan.
- Using a fork, gently poke tiny holes all over the dough to prevent air bubbles.
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove from oven, lightly brush with olive oil.
- Add your favorite pizza toppings.
- Reduce oven temperature to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
