Sourdough Pizza Crust Recipe

If you love our regular Pizza Crust, but have an excess of Sourdough starter, or, if you can’t seem to get your hands on yeast- this is a great alternative!! Essentially the same as our regular crust, but we use starter instead! This sourdough pizza crust recipe is also fun to make with the kids so get ready to roll up your sleeves and get into it!

This super simple and quick dough can be made two ways, either with your stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, or simply with mixing bowl and trusty old wooden spoon.  I’ve made it both ways and truly don’t find one way easier than the other, and the end result is the same.

3. Remove dough ball from the bowl and knead on lightly floured surface for a few minutes. Dough should be soft and moist but should come away clean from your hands.
