Equipment
Ingredients
- 100 grams sourdough starter (You can also use sourdough discard. Approximately ⅓ cup by volume)
- 500 grams bread flour (Approximately 4 loose cups of flour)
- 11 grams kosher salt (Approximately 1 tablespoon of kosher salt)
- 335 grams water, between 90 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the sourdough starter and the water. Stir to combine with a whisk. Add the flour and salt and then stir together with your hands to combine. The texture will be slightly sticky. If the dough at this point is too sticky, add small amounts of flour until it barely sticks to your hands. Some sticking is normal. You can use your kitchen stand mixer with the dough hook if you would like. But it takes just as long to do by hand with less clean up.
- Let the dough sit for 20 minutes as the starter begins to integrate with the dough ball. After 20 minutes, lightly dust flour on a cutting board and begin to knead your dough with the palms of your hand. After kneading the dough 4 to 5 times, place the dough ball into the same container and cover it with a towel or plastic wrap to allow for the first fermentation. Allow the dough to double in size which should take 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
- After the first rise is done remove the dough ball from the container. Place on a lightly floured cutting board. Using a dough scraper or a spatula, separate the dough into three individual dough balls of equal weight.
- Knead each dough 4 times with the palms of your hand and form into smaller dough balls. Place dough balls into a dough-proofing container or place on a floured sheet tray.
- Important Step: Dust the tops of the dough with flour to prevent them from sticking when they rise if using a sheet tray. Then cover the dough with plastic wrap or the dough-proofing container cover.
- Allow to rise again for at least 4 hours. After four hours the dough balls will rise again and then be ready to make your pizzas! Enjoy
