Sourdough Pizza with Einkorn Crust

Step 1

Combine sourdough starter and water in a ceramic mixing bowl. 

Step 2

Add in flour and salt and stir with a spatula or dough hook until a round dough is formed. It should not be too dry and it should not be wet.

Step 3

Let the dough sit for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Knead the dough in the bowl for a few minutes until it softens up and becomes stretchier. 

Step 5

Cover with compostable cling wrap and let ferment for 12 to 24 hours.

Step 6

Using a dough scraper, remove the dough from the bowl and cut into 4 equal parts on a floured surface. Shape each piece into a round ball, flour the top, and let it rise for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Heat a pizza stone at 500F in the oven for 30 minutes.

Step 8

Take one of the round pizza doughs and flatten it out slightly on a floured surface. Then carefully transfer it to the hot pizza stone. Continue to spread the dough on the stone with your hands.

Step 9

Add pizza sauce, cheese, any other desired toppings, and bake for 7-8 minutes.

Step 10

Transfer to a wooden cutting board, and slice with a pizza cutter. Enjoy!!

Tip

You can store your fermented pizza dough in the fridge to use later in the week for a quick and easy dinner. You can also freeze the dough. Pizza squares make a wonderful lunchbox addition.
