Sourdough Pizza Dough

Jump to recipe ▼

Ingredients (~2 14-inch Pizzas)

  • 1 2/3 cups “00” flour
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/4 cups sourdough starter (fed or discard)

Mix the Dough

In the bowl of a food processor, combine the “00” flour, bread flour, salt, sugar, and active dry yeast. Pulse a few times to combine.

In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, and sourdough starter.

With the food processor running on low, pour the wet ingredients through the feed tube.

Continue to process until the dough forms a ball, then let it run for another 30 seconds. The dough should be smooth.

Divide and Shape the Dough

Lightly flour a work surface. Scrape the dough out of the food processor and onto the floured surface.

Divide the dough into two equal pieces with a bench scraper.

To shape each piece into a ball, fold all four sides into the center. Flip the dough over so the seam is down. Tighten the dough ball by pulling it towards you across the work surface, rotating it, and repeating until you have a smooth, round ball.

Cold Ferment the Dough

Lightly oil a baking sheet. Place the dough balls on the sheet and rub a little oil over the tops to prevent a skin from forming.

Wrap the baking sheet tightly with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 24 to 72 hours. The longer the dough ferments, the more flavorful it will be.

Prepare for Baking

About 2-4 hours before you plan to bake, take the dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature. This will make it easier to stretch.

Sourdough Pizza Dough

This sourdough pizza dough is made in a food processor and uses sourdough discard for a flavorful, chewy, and crispy crust. The dough requires a long, cold fermentation in the refrigerator, which develops flavor without kneading.
