Sourdough Pizza Crust Recipe | Cottage Pantry Meal

Making this pizza at home is surprisingly easy, although it sounds fancy.

With the help of your stand mixer, this pizza crust recipe uses your sourdough starter and a few staple pantry ingredients.

Here we go over the tools you need, ingredients, and instructions on how to make and bake a sourdough pizza crust.

Let’s Dive In…

Sourdough Pizza Recipe

This recipe makes about 1 large thin crust pizza or one medium size regular crust pizza.

You can also make a couple personal pizzas with this recipe, too.

Tools you Need:

  • Stand Mixer with dough hook
  • Large Bowl
  • Tea Towel
  • Pizza Pan, cookie sheet, or pizza stone

Ingredients:

Dough:

  • 1 cup active sourdough starter (well fed starter)
  • 3/4 cups water
  • 1.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2-2.5 cups of all-purpose flour

Pizza Toppings:

Instructions:

Dough:

  • In your mixer, add starter, water, salt. Mix until milky.
  • Slowly add your flour 1/2 cup at a time. You are aiming for a soft, pliable dough that holds it’s shape, without it being too sticky to handle.
  • Knead in stand mixer for about 5 mins until well mixed and smooth.
  • Place in oil lined bowl and let sit for minimum of 1 hour with 2-4 hours being ideal.

Pizza:

  • If using meat or veggies for toppings: go ahead and cook or sauté until cooked through. Baking alone will not cook the vegetable or meat by itself.
  • Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F and place oven rack on bottom.
  • Take your pizza pan or cookie sheet and lightly sprinkle it with flour or cornmeal.
  • Turn your dough out onto your pizza pan or cookie sheet. If using a pizza stone, follow the instructions for that.
  • Press and roll your dough flat until it’s as big as you wish for your pizza to be. You can use your hands or a rolling pin.
  • Add sauce, cheese, and other cooked toppings.
  • Bake for 15 minutes. Depending on how thick you made your crust, you may need more time. The bottom crust should be crisp and lightly golden brown when done.
  • Enjoy!

That’s It!
