Ingredients
Method
Prepare the Dough
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt.
- Add the sourdough starter and room temperature water to the flour mixture.
- Mix until a shaggy dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rest at room temperature for 4-6 hours, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Pizza
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release excess gas.
- Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for 2 pizzas.
- Shape each portion into a ball and let them rest for another 30 minutes.
Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to the highest setting, usually around 475°F (245°C), and place a pizza stone inside if you have one.
Assemble the Pizza
- On a floured surface, stretch or roll out one ball of dough into a 12-inch round.
- Spread 1/2 cup of pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
- Sprinkle with 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni.
Bake the Pizza
- Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the pizza stone).
- Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Serve
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Slice and serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Notes
For best results, use a kitchen scale to measure the ingredients. Allow the dough to cold ferment in the fridge overnight for enhanced flavor.
