Sourdough Pizza Dough image

This is a varsity-level take on the classic pizza dough recipe from Roberta's in Brooklyn, using sourdough starter to help the dough rise - and give it great taste. If you feed your starter regularly, you can use it in this recipe right out of the crock in which you store it. But if not, give the starter a feed of flour and water a few hours before you mix up the dough. (If you need to start a starter, add a week or so to the process.) "It's a little more complicated" than a regular dough, said Anthony Falco, who runs the pizza operations at Roberta's, "but, oh boy, the end result is worth it."

Time P1DT30m

Yield 3 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 5

5 cups/500 grams 00 flour
2 1/2 teaspoons/15 grams kosher salt
2 1/2 teaspoons/7.5 grams instant dry yeast
1 tablespoon/15 grams extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons/90 grams sourdough starter, "fed"

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together 300 grams (about 1 1/4 cups) lukewarm tap water, the instant dry yeast and the olive oil, then stir the sourdough starter into it and pour it into the bowl with the flour mixture. Knead with your hands until well combined, about 4 minutes, then let mixture rest for 15 minutes.
  • Knead rested dough for 3 to 4 minutes. Cut into 3 equal pieces and shape each into a ball. Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with a dampened cloth and let rest and rise for 8 to 24 hours in the refrigerator. (Remove from refrigerator 30 to 45 minutes before you begin to shape it for pizza.)
  • To make pizza, place each dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers to stretch it, then your hands to shape it into rounds or squares. Top and bake.

This dough is perfect for making a crispy, thin-crust pizza. I love the way it bubbles up in the oven.

I'm glad I tried this recipe, but I don't think I'll be making it again. It's just too much work.

This recipe is definitely not for beginners. It's very time-consuming and requires a lot of patience.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pizza dough turned out really dense and heavy.

This recipe was a disaster! The dough was too sticky and I couldn't get it to roll out properly.

This dough was really easy to work with, but it didn't have a lot of flavor. I'll try adding some herbs or spices next time.

I had a hard time getting the dough to rise properly. I think I might have used too much starter.

This dough was a little too chewy for my taste, but it still made a good pizza. I'll try using less water next time.

This dough is perfect for making a variety of pizzas. I've used it to make everything from classic pepperoni pizzas to more creative pizzas with roasted vegetables and goat cheese.
