– Add olive oil, salt & remaining flour. – Knead for 5 minutes.

– Combine starter, water & some  flour to make a sponge. – Rest the sponge for 30 min.

– After fermentation the dough should be aerated & elastic. It’s ready to shape.

– Stretch & fold hourly to redistribute the yeast & aerate the dough.

–Gently stretch & pat the dough to a 12"-14" round.  –Lift with the back of your hands so you don't poke a finger through the dough. 

– Place the dough onto a pizza peel or the back of a sheet pan  dusted with cornmeal. The cornmeal acts as ball-bearings so you can slide the pizza.  – Bake your sourdough pizza in a very hot oven, or grill it. 

Sourdough pizza is absolutely delicious thanks to its complex flavor, chewy yet airy texture, and incredible aroma.
