This recipe for crispy sourdough pizza will tantalize your taste buds with its crispy crust, melted cheese, and your favorite toppings. The key to this crispy sourdough crust is simply adding a little extra butter. Follow these simple steps to create the perfect sourdough pizza every time.

- Perform two more sets of 6-8 stretch and folds, each time allowing the dough to rest for 30 minutes.
- Prove the dough for 8-10 hours until it has doubled in size.

Hi there! I stumbled upon your blog last year and since then your master sourdough recipe is the only recipe I follow. It delivers consistent results and my family absolutely loves the taste. So thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and amazing recipe! I would love to incorporate more whole grains into your recipe, preferably a 50% ratio to white bread flour. Could you please share how I can alter your recipe to make it? Specifically, the kind of flour, hydration level, and technique. Thanks so much!
I am so sorry, this has only just appeared on my notifications 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 thank you so much for your message.
All you need to do is use the flour you want to and start with my usual amount of water and see how it feels…what flours do you hope to use?
