Sourdough Pizza Crust

Step 1

In a large bowl, place the sourdough starter, whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, olive oil, and 3/4 cup of water. Use your hands to mix until fully incorporated. It will be shaggy, though if the mixture is too wet, add a little more flour. If too dry, then add in a teaspoon or two of water at a time. Cover the bowl and place in a warm location to ferment for 10 to 12 hours or overnight.

Step 2

When the batter has fermented, or the next morning, perform a series of stretches and folds. Lightly wet your hands to prevent the dough from sticking, then gently pull one side of the dough up and over itself, then turn the bowl and repeat with all four "corners" of the dough until you've completed the circle. At this point the dough is ready to bake, or you can place it in fridge for up to 36 hours.

Step 3

Remove the dough and place on a lightly floured surface and let rest for 30 minutes.

Step 4

Using lightly floured hands, shape the dough into a ball. From here, shape into pizza crust (I prefer using a rolling pin) and us in your favorite recipe.
