Pizza Dough With Sourdough Starter
- 8 ounces sourdough starter (see recipe)
- 10 ounces 00 flour such as Divella or King Arthur Italian Style (about 2 cups)
- 6 ounces high-gluten flour such as King Arthur Sir Lancelot (about 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon)
- 1/2 ounce salt (about 4 teaspoons)
- Additional flour, for dusting
- Using your fingers, break the starter dough into 1-inch pieces in a bowl and mix with 1 cup room temperature water until soupy and chunky.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flours and salt, then add the starter and water.
- Mix with a wooden spoon until the dough begins to bind, then let rest for 5 minutes.
- Using the dough hook, knead on the mixers second-lowest setting for 5 to 7 minutes, until dough pulls away from the bowl and becomes a smooth ball.
- Lift dough hook, scraping off any excess dough.
- Settle a sheet of plastic wrap on the dough, and let rest for 3 to 4 hours.
- Cut dough into 4 8-ounce pieces.
- (For smaller pizzas, divide into 5 6-ounce pieces.)
- Turn each piece out on a floured surface, folding and kneading three or four times until it becomes a smooth ball.
- Place each piece in a plastic bin large enough to allow it to double in size, let a sheet of plastic wrap settle on the dough, and cover with a lid.
- Refrigerate for 48 hours, or at least 24 hours, before shaping and baking.
