Key to great pizza dough is olive oil! This sourdough version is delicious and versatile. I bake it 2 ways- Cast Iron or Pizza Stone! So use whatever you got. If you have a regular pan, place the patted out dough on the pan, bake at 425 for 8 to 10 minutes. Remove, place sauce & toppings and bake until done. ENJOY!!
Since this is sourdough I find it easiest to mix up the dough the night before your want to eat the pizza.
Also great to premake, bake and freeze! See below for more details.
You must include my Semi Famous Pizza Sauce
Ingredients:
1/2 cup sourdough discard
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 Cups flour
1 1/3 Cups water
Directions:
Night before you want to eat:
Mix together the ingredients until it comes together and it's smooth, using your hands. I suggest starting with 3.5 cups flour and add in more until it's firm yet still tacky. Cover and let ferment overnight.
Next Morning:
Do a set of stretch and folds (Gently pull one side of the dough up and over itself and rotate and repeat on all 4 sides. Cover and place in the fridge until 1 hour prior to dinner. Or just leave out on counter if this is for lunch.
To Bake:
Divide dough into 6 to 8 equal pieces if using cast iron skillets (or 2 to 3 if making on a pizza stone). Shape into a balls and let rest 30 minutes. Turn on your oven to 425 degrees F place your pizza stone in the oven if using. OR warm up your cast iron pans to medium/high. While either are heating roll out the dough to desired shape/size. You may need to flatten out the pizza several times as it needs time for the gluten to relax.
Pizza Stone: Place dough on stone and place several fork holes and bake for 10 minutes (you should see it mostly done with brown spots). Flip over and place sauce and toppings on and place back into oven for 10 minutes or until done.
Cast Iron: Place dough on cast iron for 2 to 4 minutes, flip over and cook add'l 2 to 4 minutes. Each side will have slight char marks. Place sauce and toppings on and bake in a preheated oven at 425F for 10 minutes or until done.
Freezing: You have two options- you can create the dough and cook on the cast iron, let cool down and freeze in large ziploc bags with parchment paper in between. OR you could make the entire pizza as above, let cool down, and place in a large ziploc bag with parcment paper in between each Pizza.
Pop out of the freezer and bake 425 for 10-15 minutes! Enjoy!
