This sourdough pizza crust is soft in the center, crispy on the edges, and full of delicious flavor from natural fermentation—perfect for homemade pizza night!
Begin by mixing ½ a cup of your sourdough starter (or discard) with your warm water in a large mixing bowl. Then, gently mix in the yeast and allow this to sit for 5 minutes. Add the olive oil and mix. Add a pinch of salt and the flour and mix until a thick and sticky pizza dough forms. Leave the dough in the bowl and cover it with a kitchen towel. Allow it to rise for 30 minutes.
After the dough has risen, use your hands to form the dough into two pizza dough balls. If you are making your pizza at a future date, wrap the dough in plastic and store in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. You can also prepare the crust immediately. No resting time required.
To prepare the crust, roll each dough ball onto a floured surface until it is ⅓ inch thick. Brush around the edges with olive oil and use any sauces, cheese, and toppings of your choosing. We cook our pizza in the Ninja pizza oven but a regular oven set to 500 will also cook your pizza very well. You should only need to cook you pizza at that temperature for 5-8 minutes. Watch it carefully to ensure it doesn't burn. Enjoy!
