Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 100g of active sourdough starter with 350g of lukewarm water until fully integrated. Gradually add 500g of bread flour, stirring until the mixture forms a shaggy, cohesive dough. Cover the bowl and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Create dimples in the dough and sprinkle in 10g of fine sea salt and 20g of olive oil. Fold the dough over itself multiple times to mix until fully incorporated.
- Cover the bowl and allow the dough to rise at room temperature, performing 'stretch and folds' every 30-45 minutes for about 2-3 hours.
- Transfer the risen dough to a floured surface, divide it, and shape into tight balls. Place them in oiled containers and refrigerate.
- Preheat your oven to 500-550°F (260-288°C). Let the dough come to room temperature for 30 minutes, then stretch into shape, add toppings, and bake for 10-12 minutes.
