Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 1/2 cups sourdough starter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
Instructions
- In a medium-size bowl, combine the sourdough starter, olive oil, salt, flour, garlic powder, oregano, and basil. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too dry, add a little more starter or water until it forms a cohesive dough.
- Once the dough is mixed, let it rest for 30 minutes to allow the flour to fully hydrate.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Divide the dough into two equal portions. Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
- Pre-bake the crusts for 5-7 minutes until they are just starting to firm up but not browned.
- Remove from the oven and add your favorite toppings.
- Return the pizzas to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
- Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
Notes
If the dough is too dry, you can add more starter or water to achieve the right consistency. Pre-baking the crust helps ensure a crispy base. Experiment with different toppings like pesto, fresh mozzarella, spicy chicken, and red onion. Leftover pie shells can be used for breakfast pizzas with toppings like fried eggs.
