• Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
• Roll out dough on parchment paper or a lightly floured work surface, rotating frequently, until it is the same size as the baking pan. Transfer to the pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until pale golden, about 7 minutes.

SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Thoroughly combine the flour, water, starter, salt, and the oil in a medium bowl (preferably a glass bowl that will allow peeking to check on the fermentation activity). The dough will look rough and shaggy and feel soft and sticky.
• Cover the bowl with a damp towel or plastic bag and rest for 20 minutes at room temperature.
• Moisten your hand with a little water, scoop your hand underneath the dough, and gently grasp one side of the lump. Lightly stretch the dough in your hand away from the main mass, then fold it over. Repeat this motion on different sides of the dough three or four more times. Don't overwork it, as the goal is to keep as much air in it as possible.
• Flip the whole mass of dough such that the seams of your folds face down against the bottom of the bowl. You should notice that the shaggy dough becomes considerably smoother. If the dough still looks as shaggy as before, fold the dough again.
• Rest the dough for another 20 minutes, then stretch and fold again as you did the first time.
• Cover once more and ferment at room temperature for at least 4 hours. Your dough will probably not rise significantly, but you should see bubbles forming on the surface and underneath. If you do not see bubbles, give the dough more time to ferment until you do.
• After 4 hours of fermentation, lightly flour a work surface. Invert the bowl above the floured area and wait for the dough to release itself from the bowl. Divide the dough in half.
• Using the same stretch and fold technique (minus the wet hands), shape the pieces into rounds.
• Lightly coat the inside of 2 round 1-pint storage containers (preferably with lids) with the olive oil. Place a dough ball seam-side down into each one. Cover with lids or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before using. Dough that is kept in the refrigerator for longer will continue to develop flavor and has a shelf life of a week.
• To make the pizza, remove the dough from the refrigerator and place it on a well-floured surface. Coat the dough lightly all over with flour as well. With your hands, gently flatten and stretch the dough into a thin circle about 10 to 12 inches in diameter. Don't overpress it, as keeping as much air in is what will give the dough a delicious and chewy texture.
• Add sauce and toppings as desired and bake according to your preferred method , or simply bake in a 450 F to 500 F oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until crispy. Serve immediately.

SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500°F.
• Mix starter, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and flour together in a mixing bowl until it blends and forms a ball (add more or less flour to adjust consistency; if you get it too dry just add a little more starter).
• Allow dough to rest for about 30 minutes (don't look for it to rise, just to get the dough where it is easier to roll).
• Roll out mixture on parchment paper or a lightly floured surface until it fits the size of your pan, turning the dough as you roll (if you want a more even circle).
• Par-bake the crust on a pizza stone or pizza sheet for about 7 minutes, then remove from oven.
• Before topping your pizza with any sauce, cheese, or toppings, brush the top of the crust all over with remaining olive oil (as needed), using a pastry brush (this helps keep soggy moisture out of the crust as it bakes).
• Top as desired and cook until browned and cheese is melted.
• If you use certain vegetables as a topping (onions are the first thing that comes to mind) you might want to cook those about halfway before topping the pizza with them (or they will be too crunchy).

• Transfer dough to an oiled pan; cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Separate dough into 6 equal rounds; let rest 10 minutes. Roll out each portion to desired crust size.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Cool on a rack; freeze in resealable plastic bags separated by parchment paper.
