INSTRUCTIONS
REACTIVATE STARTER:
Reactivate & replenish your starter the evening before you’d like to bake pizza.
MIX THE SOAKER:
In a small bowl, whisk together your chosen whole grain flours & psyllium husk.
132 g 2 Whole Grain Flours 66g of each, 25 g Psyllium Husk
In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together sourdough starter & all of the liquids (including cream if using). Add flour mix from above & mix with paddle attachment for 2 mins.
370 g Warm Water, 50 g Heavy Cream (or vegan alternate), 8 g Maple Syrup, 220 g Gluten Free Sourdough Starter
Let soaker rest covered for 30 minutes.
ADD ENRICHMENT:
Add olive oil, spices & mix for 1 min to slightly incorporate the oil.
20 g Extra Virgin Olive Oil, 8-11 g Sea Salt, 1 tsp Italian Spice Mix
ADD BINDING FLOUR & STARCHY FLOUR:
Sift in binding flour of your choice & starchy flours. Then mix low low until slightly incorporated, then medium-high for 3-5 mins until forms a sticky dough ball.
82 g Binding Flour, 115 g Starchy Flour
Shape into a ball with a spatula.
SHAPE & REST DOUGH:
Turn dough onto the counter. Gently shape into a ball & pat dough all over with olive oil.
Cover & let rest 2-3 hours at room temp or 2 hours in oven with light on.
PRE-HEAT OVEN:
Preheat oven with pizza stone inside to 500°F (260°C) for 30-45 mins.
DIVIDE & ROLL PIZZA CRUST:
Flip dough out onto parchment paper & divide into 2 pieces (for a thin crust). Cover one piece with plastic wrap while you roll out the other.
Begin spreading & shaping dough into a circle shape with hands working from inside-out.
Cover with plastic wrap if desired to create a smoother texture & ease of shaping (see photo instructions for more details). Pinch edges to create a lip for your crust.
Cut excess parchment paper around the pizza dough to prevent burning.
PAR-BAKE DOUGH:
Remove plastic wrap from dough & slide pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated pizza stone in oven.
Par-bake for 5-7 minutes until the dough has fully risen, is slightly golden on the edges, then remove from oven.
REMOVE PARCHMENT & ADD TOPPINGS:
Flip pizza crust over & slowly peel off parchment paper. Flip again & place back onto pizza peel.
Add sauce & desired toppings.
BAKE YOUR PIZZA!
Slide topped pizza off the pizza peel directly onto the stone & bake for 7-9 mins or until toppings are golden, crust has browned to your liking & cheese is melted (if using).
Remove pizza & pizza stone from the oven & allow to rest for 5-10 mins on the stone.
Slice up your Gluten Free Sourdough Pizza masterpiece with a pizza cutter & enjoy!
ADAPTING THIS RECIPE: I have broken the ingredients of this pizza crust dough into 5 components. This way you can customize the recipe to fit your dietary needs by understanding each of its parts. All you have to do is choose 1 or 2 options from each component, then follow the directions as posted.
Pre-baking, aka par-baking, the dough is a really essential step. It allows the dough to rise and crisp up a bit removing some of the moisture in the dough. This ensures that your dough will be crispy & strong and will hold up to all of the delicious goodness you’d like to add to the top.
If making a vegan or vegetarian pizza (or where the toppings have no additional salt) you may want to increase the salt to 11g.
