Nothing says comfort food like a warm, cheesy slice of sourdough pizza. With its unique flavor and crunchy texture, sourdough pizza is a great choice for a family dinner, a party, or just a night in! This recipe will take you through the process of making a delicious sourdough pizza from scratch. You'll be amazed at how easy it is to whip up this classic dish, and you'll be proud to serve it to your friends and family. So get your Ooni fired up and let's get started!

First, you will need a sourdough starter. Check out How To Make and Maintain a Sourdough Starter from our friends at Ooni! Working with sourdough can be intimidating, but we promise, it is worth it!

Begin by making your dough. Follow the steps from start to finish, carefully measuring your ingredients using a scale. When finished, divide your dough into balls, place them into your Drip EZ container, and allow the dough balls to sit at room temperature for about 2-3 hours before refrigerating for 48 hours. A 48 hour ferment allows the dough to take on more flavor, resulting in the most delicious, thin, and crispy sourdough pizza that is definitely worth the wait.

Now it is finally time to make your pizza! Allow the fermented dough to sit at room temperature for around 3 hours before opening into a pizza. This allows the gluten to relax and should make working with the dough easier. Light your Ooni to 600-650 degrees. Start by shaping the dough by hand into a rough pizza shape, then finish the shaping by grabbing a rolling pin and roll the pizza so it’s roughly 14” in size. Top with pizza sauce, cheese, and your favorite toppings and slide onto the pizza peel with a good amount of flour. You can find the 3 pizzas we made: Meat, Buffalo Chicken, and Chicken and Spinach recipes below, or try something new! Launch into your Ooni Pizza oven and bake for around 5 minutes, turning regularly, around 30-45 seconds, and checking the base at regular intervals. Let the pizza cool on a pizza pan, or wire rack. Cut and enjoy!

Making the Dough

Weigh out 290g of water into a mixing bowl and attach to the mixer with the dough hook attachment.
Turn on the mixer to the lowest speed and gradually add all the flour. After around 4 minutes you should have a rough dough with no dry clumps.
Bring together with your hands to ensure there are no dry clumps, cover, and leave to rest/autolyse for 30 minutes.

When the 30 minutes are up, poke holes in the dough with a damp finger and add the active sourdough starter to the bowl.
Gently pinch the dough in pieces covering the sourdough starter.
Cover and rest for 10 minutes.
After 10 minutes add the salty water and mix for 2-3 minutes until incorporated.
Once incorporated, add the oil and mix for 5 more minutes.
Let the dough rest for 20 minutes covered in the bowl.

Light your Ooni using your fuel of choice. Wood, charcoal or gas.
Check to make sure the deck temperature of the Ooni is around 600/650 degrees. We don’t want a huge flame over our pizza either.
