How to make pizza dough

Ingredients

• 300g of strong bread flour
• 200g of sourdough starter
• 150ml of water, lukewarm
• 10ml of olive oil
• 6g of salt

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, sourdough starter, and lukewarm water
2. Mix the ingredients until they come together into a shaggy dough
3. Add the olive oil and salt to the dough, and continue mixing until all the ingredients are fully incorporated
4. Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic
5. Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 2 hours
6. After this, perform the first set of coil folds: gently stretch one side of the dough up and fold it over the centre, then repeat with the other three sides. Cover the bowl again and let it rest for 30 minutes
7. Repeat the coil folds two more times, each set 30 minutes apart, for a total of three sets
8. After the third set of coil folds, cover the bowl and let the dough rest and rise for an additional 1 hour
9. Divide the dough into desired portions for individual pizzas, then leave them in the fridge to ferment overnight
10. The next day, preheat your oven to 250°C with a pizza stone or baking tray inside
11. On a lightly floured surface, shape each portion of dough into a round pizza base
12. Add your desired toppings to each base
13. Carefully transfer the topped pizzas onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet
14. Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking
15. Once baked, remove the pizzas from the oven, slice, and serve hot
