Blog Post 2: Sourdough Pizza Dough

 Sourdough Pizza Dough Recipe:

• 113 grams of sourdough starter
• 600 grams of all-purpose unbleached flour
• 345 grams of water
• 10 grams of salt
  
• 26-28 grams of olive oil

Instructions: 

1. add your starter, water, olive oil, and salt to a bowl and mix till combined
2. begin adding flour and mix for about 5-10 minutes or until your dough can pass the windowpane test
3. place dough into an oiled bowl and cover with a tea towel
4. let rest and rise for about 8 hours
5. after rest time, preheat oven to 450 degrees F
6. turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and split into two sections
7. roll out each section to about 1/4-1/2 inch thickness
8. fold over edges of the dough to create a small top crust and pinch together
9. brush lightly with olive oil and add your chosen pizza sauce and toppings (we like to keep it basic and just do marinara sauce, low-fat mozzarella, turkey pepperoni and Italian seasoning)
10. bake for 12-14 minutes or until crust is golden brown. (I usually take out a little early, I like my crust pretty soft!)
11. remove from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before cutting and ENJOY

This week I made one of my family's favorite dinners, homemade sourdough pizzas! The crust is a recipe I found on farmhouse on boone and adjusted to what works best for me and my starter. It always comes out soft, tangy, and absolutely delicious! I have also had my fiancé smoke the pizzas in his Traeger after preparing them and that is my personal favorite way to cook them, but due to weather we had to bake them this time. (Which is also SO tasty!) A little side note- this dough can be made days or even weeks in advance. If you are planning to use it within a few days, you can place it in an airtight container until ready to use or freeze the dough after rising for up to 2-3 months. This is another sourdough recipe that is fairly low maintenance and very easy for anyone who already has an established sourdough starter.

Tate: "After trying this, you'll never want to go back to DiGiorno. The soft crust is perfect, and makes for good leftovers, if we ever have any. My advice, never skip out on sourdough pizza night. 5/5 ★"

Haysten: Loves this recipe!  He will sign for "more" right after I put a bite in his mouth, before he has even swallowed it. the crust comes out very soft and so I don't have to worry about his choking, he can chew it very well!  Ate one and a half pieces all by himself, so safe to say he is giving 5/5 ★
