Simple Sourdough Pizza + Pizza Margherita 🍕🍕🍕

[@natalialopes719]

I simply love that there is no crazy background music and not a lot of talking that's unnecessary about your life. Instructions are wonderful and everything looks great

[@KingsCookingGuide]

100%agree

[@jakob8210]

Exactly what I was about to comment. It makes it very relaxing

[@Butterflymessages-h8o]

Same!

[@anuragmaheshwary6309]

200% agree. The lack of gimmicks and silliness gives this person instant credibility.

[@alejandrogarcia-sw4ic]

Reasons why i love your video: 1) You dont waste plastic covering the dough 2) No annoying music 3) No stupid comments

[@michellewhite6992]

You can buy biodegradable shrink wrap i use it.

[@alejandrogarcia-sw4ic]

@@michellewhite6992 that’s a great step! I am baking 2 years. When I need sail the dough I use a tapper, if not I use a lid. I keep up to 1 week my pizza dough without plastics :)

[@amj.composer]

People talking about the lack of background music and I agree, but I personally also like that this isn't an annoying ASMR with overly loud and "satisfying" kitchen cutting and wood sounds. I have misophonia and those bug me so much. Great video and thank you

[@chawn521]

Made this for the first time tonight and it was fabulous! Have had a starter going for a solid 2 years, finally inspired to make pizza. This recipe and tutorial was a game changer! The high hydration formula really makes a difference and the can wait to try with a regular loaf or ciabatta. For the pizza, I fed starter in the morning to perk it up. Then started the whole stretch and fold process around 8:00 am. All told, it didn’t prove as long as the recipe called for because I REALLY wanted pizza tonight. And it totally worked. Fired up the grill instead of the oven, baking stone is n tue grill. Approx 425 degrees on the grill gauge and total cook time for Marg about 7 minutes and a heavier sausage/ cheese pizza for 10 minutes. Crust airy, yet crisp. We devoured them standing up. Thank you for making this so easy, accessible and delicious!!

[@megank9530]

Have been making this dough every Wednesday (for 🍕 Friday) for a year! So good. I think the two day cold/fridge ferment is what makes it extra tasty. I lay down flour before I pull the dough out of the container, then fold the chunks so all stickiness moves to the inside (flour to outside). We love it! Thank you for the vid!

[@katarina2438]

Thank you for no music, I can listen to what I want, really really refreshing, good choice

[@ToraJutsu01]

The thing I love most about your vids is that they are straight to the point.

[@odetterebok8132]

Thank you for this simple, beautiful video. Good clear camera, easy to read , no self indulgent bla bla or irritating background music . Love it and my first rise looks promising

[@goatherder2967]

Love this channel. It's informative without being preachy, verbose etc

[@JG-ly2ij]

Yuuuuummm. I love the videos where there’s no talking. Thanks for sharing.

[@peopleofconcience]

These instruction videos remind me again not to over handle the dough; to use a light touch. High hydration dough is wet by definition so the hands need to be gentle with the piece, preferably with wet fingers for the early stages, at least until the gluten has had a chance to develop. So inspiring to watch, and so well presented. Thank you again Alexandra’s Kitchen.

[@jenarbios]

I’m on my second attempt of this recipe and I’m so excited because my starter has only gotten better. This recipe is frickin delicious!!!

[@RoyalBrendaa]

My family and I have always loved making homemade pizza! When I finally got into sourdough baking, I knew I had to try making pizza with it. Your recipe was the first one- and only recipe that I’ll ever use! You get those perfect air bubbles in the crust, it is absolutely the best pizza that we ever made. It’s always a hit for dinner and always impresses guests! Every recipe I’ve tried from you has always turned our absolutely perfect and I couldn’t thank you enough for sharing your wonderful recipes(:

[@briannaray4155]

This is still by far my favorite and easiest pizza dough recipe! Thanks girl! 💜

[@HeavenlyMess]

I couldn't believe how easy this was!

[@getyourfeelgoodbackbjones1576]

This is THE BEST SOURDOUGH PIZZA RECIPE EVER!

[@sarapitroff8291]

Hello! We just made this dough for dinner tonight and it was my favorite recipe so far!! We have pizza night once a week and this will for sure be our go to! Loved it :D

[@frankeeshackcloth1017]

This is always my go to for sourdough pizzas, just always comes out perfect 🔥🔥

[@HannesNitzsche]

I made this today (the first two pies, anyway - two more in the fridge for tomorrow). a three day ferment in the fridge, and it turned out fantastic! My oven isn’t quite hot enough for large air pockets, despite using a baking steel in the top shelf and the broiler on high, but the results were still convincing: a crispy leopard spotted base, chewy crumb and delicious sourdough flavour. I made the margarita (using canned tomatoes to make the sauce) and the Creme fraiche/kale pie from your website and it was an absolute winner! The only thing I did different was to place the (floured) dough balls straight onto the parchment paper, and then stretched them on the paper after the hour without lifting the dough up anymore. Just pushed it outward with my fingers. Thank you for sharing this foolproof recipe! It’ll be my new go-to pizza method going forward!! All the best!

[@pritameanisyafaat4970]

Best pizza i've ever made. 😍❤️ My husband loves it

[@ryan98408]

My pizza was a visual disaster but totally delicious! Tons of flavor

[@nitinkumarvyas]

This is by far the most simplistic sourdough pizza I've come across on KZbin. Great work.

[@veriviener]

I am using rye sourdough starter, it works out very good!! Also cooking pizza on stone… on my grill with lid down 😁 this recipe is just brilliant. Our friend said it’s the best pizza he had his entire life (and he’s not a teenager). This weekend people are coming especially for this pizza! So I’ve made double batch of dough which is bulk fermenting now 😁 thank you!!!!

[@neicolssy2813]

Did you use the all purpose flour or changed to other flour for dough as well ?

[@JudiChristopher]

WAIT.... WHAT??? Pizza on a Grill? Be Still My HEART Which GRILL? What size stone? How high of a temp... Gas? Wood? Tell me more... Please

[@veriviener]

@@JudiChristopher Well it was just a generic gas bbq from our local B&Q - I think any gas bbq will work as long as it has a lid and is big enough to fit a stone :) in fact there are loads “bbq pizza ovens” out there now! I found it cooking better than using stone in normal gas oven, it gets hotter but I don’t remember temperature - I recon around 300-350*C ish? Stone was just a generic Amazon one I bought for my oven but didn’t have patience to preheat it for 45 mins 😀 once the bbq and stone are hot it was taking around 8 mins to cook from my memory. Everyone loved pizza from this setup, we made loads like this before we bought an Ooni :)

[@JudiChristopher]

@@veriviener EXCELLENT Thank you so much for this information.

[@kindradeleon9053]

Thank you, my Pizza keeps coming out better and better. Every time I make them, I love the recipe🥰

[@Butterflymessages-h8o]

Thank you for this recipe! Trying it this week ❤

[@michellewhite6992]

Hi ive made this recipe 5 times now, i wasn't a pizza person before baking my own now we have it weekly i love it, the dough is so soft. I part bake them in the morning so then the kids can top them with what they want later after skl and work. I make my own pizza sauce too which is delicious.

[@LiveLaughLove5123]

Loved it! Used a scale and everything went great tastes great! Only thing I’m altering for next time is only cutting into 2 pieces not 4 :) thank you!

[@MeganML]

I did this and it worked perfectly!! Made two 14" pizzas!

[@fabienholler]

Thank you very much for this recipe! This was my first attempt at sourdough pizza and it turned out great. I am not used to such high hydration ratio for pizza (really 77% assuming a 1:1 starter) but I could make it work no problem. I might reduce the water quantity ever so slightly for next time though. For me 4 sets of stretch and fold was not enough even though I use fairly high protein type 00 pizza flour. I will do 5 or 6 sets next time, might even hand knead it a bit. Thanks again!

[@grandpied]

Finally a video that showed how it is done.

[@KidVll]

I have made this recipe twice now and it works perfectly. Thanks!

[@johnrodgers6049]

With sourdough, I generally bring all ingredients together (except salt) and let sit x 30 minutes and then add salt. Theory is that salt may inhibit the growth of the yeast in the starter.

[@ReichelleAlfaras]

True or false: Salt and yeast should never touch. Short answer : FALSE If you’ve done some bread baking, you’ve probably encountered a warning about how you should never let salt and yeast come in direct contact because “salt kills yeast.” But is it true? Salt is hygroscopic, meaning it readily absorbs water from its surroundings. If a large amount of salt (or sugar, which is also hygroscopic) were to be combined with a small amount of yeast and left for a long time it could, in theory, eventually rob the yeast of water to the degree that the yeast cells would begin to die off. Director of Research & Development Sue Gray explains, “If you added a large amount of salt, say a tablespoon, to a 1/4 teaspoon of yeast and let that sit for a while it could have a negative effect, but not in the concentrations we use in baking.” In most recipes, salt represents 2% of the total mix (based on flour weight), a low enough percentage that it would never kill the yeast present in the dough. Plus, they’re not going to be in direct contact for long; usually, it’s just a few minutes between combining ingredients and mixing your dough. So, while it’s theoretically possible for salt to kill yeast, practically speaking it’s not a concern; you can let them touch without any negative effects. -from kingarthurbaking.com

Thank you so much for this recipe it was perfect . It was my first time ever using the sourdough starter. I’ll make it again

[@HadassahSikani]

I clicked on your video because it was shorter than the others. Thank you for demonstrating this fabulous pizza dough and what I need to know in less than 5 min. Rao sauce is amazing by the way and is the only store bought sauce I use if I don't make my own.

I have tried a lot of sourdough recopies for pizza and this is bar far the best. My only modification is to add diastatic malt powder for color and making the fermentation more complex in less time.

[@scmattson]

thanks for the video and step by step, liked and subscribed, made the dough early in the week and we cooked it up on my DIY pizza oven (cooking steel with fire bricks and a 24x24 paver to cover on my grill) Taste was amazing, the cooking steel was one of the best investments ever

[@roux0078]

I’ve just stumbled across this lady’s blog page and KZbin videos. It is very easy to get confused and frustrated with making bread. There really are several different ways to “make the perfect bread.” Thing is, people complicate the hell out of it. I made her sourdough loaf bread and it came out beautifully. First try making bread. I’m sticking with this girl. There’s not a lot of bs, extra added fluff. Straight to the point. I like it. It’s realistic for real people in the real world who have real families. Good job.

[@marit6164]

Made this. Soooo good. Thank you❤

How do you transfer the uncooked pizza from the baking sheet to the baking steel? Or do you keep the baking sheet under the pizza?

[@amysonmez]

I’ve made this recipe. It turned out amazing with the right amount of chewieness. Can I also use this dough to make breaad?

[@kubanishku]

Not sure if I'm the only one (judging by comments) but I've attempted this 2 times, using an unfed starter, 375g water, 100g starter, 500g flour (white, non bread, all purp) and it comes out flowy and not at all silky like I usualy get for my sourdough (for my SD I use a 50/50 white/whole mix, and it comes out great). The dough rose/doubled, and I folded it per directions 4-5 times. Right now the dough rested 8-12 hours overnight and its tearing/flowy. I am thinking of tossing it. I am not getting a bakers window at all, makes me think its too hydrated? Anyone experience this?

[@pifpafpat]

You’ve over-proofed it - 8-12 hrs is far too long. You want a nice bouncy dough which can be achieved after 6 hrs or even quicker depending on the temperature.

[@kubanishku]

@@pifpafpat to clarify the 8-12 rest was in the fridge overnight, and it was still flowy. Initially ~4-6 hours for 4-5 folds in between that time. I think my started was too starved? I typically feed once a week, 3-4 hours before I put my mix together.

[@pifpafpat]

@@kubanishku you might want to change the feeding ratio in this case. Go for 1:5:5 and it’ll get stronger.

[@anafonseca8748]

Where did you get the container for the bulk fermentation?

[@tonydavidson8260]

This is definitely the best sourdough pizza dough I've made. It's as good as my poolish recipe and maybe even better. My GF is gluten intolerant and couldn't eat my usual poolish dough without "issues". So I was using some horrible gluten free crust. The she mentioned that she had no issues with my sourdough bread so started researching sourdough pizza. The previous recipes were fine for her stomach but I felt second best (albeit still very good). Then I found this recipe and tried it on Saturday. It's soooo good. Very easy to work the dough, great light crispy crust with lots of puff. And delicious sourdough flavour! I followed the recipe exactly, except for using bread flour (around 13% protein). Dough was in the fridge for around 40 hours. What is the limit for how long you can keep in the fridge?

[@jgrotenhuis]

can you freeze this dough once it gets to the dough ball stage? That would be so convenient!

[@lesliebeaumont9512]

I’m wondering the same!

[@Sueprises]

Looks great !

[@marylalisak3337]

Hello Alexandra, my friend gave me a sourdough starter, link to your videos and this is how I started my adventure with baking bread, focaccia and pizza. I learned from you 😊 You step by step video s are great. Thank you 😊 One question, can I freeze the dough for pizza?

[@al-anoud-123]

I am gonna attempt this today, looks simple :D Thank you

[@al-anoud-123]

Tge dough turned out very sticky!!!!! Omg couldn’t handle it at all, so turned it out into Focaccia instead. I would suggest to use much less water. Ugh I am sad about this

[@lee9604]

@@al-anoud-123Mine is very sticky, too. Have you figured out why?

[@jiberri]

Alexandra, I would like to use fresh ground wheatberries to make this. I have hard red and hard white. What would you recommend? Do you think a combination of both would work, and if so, what ratios? Thank you!

[@daveyellis]

Thanks for the video! What size is the dough stretched to? I'm looking for 12 inch pizzas.

[@HiMenu]

I love your videos! They make me keep coming back and watching! Thanks for sharing! 💕

[@nikolbogdanova2870]

I tried it and the result is far from perfect. I think that the final shaping and baking was the problem. Do you bake it in the wood oven? This black crust makes me think you do. I baked it in an electrical oven at 275 degrees Celsius and I need 10 minutes. What is more I don't have so much bubbles at all and it's something I really would like to achieve. 😢 Help with more tips it's more complicated than it's look like

[@AdamGell]

Great video… where do you get that vessel? Is there a specific name for it?

[@jpjp9111]

That looks so very yummy. I'm following your recipe right now using my sourdough and I'm on the 2nd 30 min rest time. What is a baking steel? Is that like a regular baking/cookie sheet? I was going to use aluminum foil to bake it on. (Considering that I just moved into a new place and that's about all I currently have at the moment. Lol)

[@andrepatiri5533]

Hello, followed you instructions and had a delicious pizza with the one that was fresh. I froze the other 3 and one week later when I unfroze them, the pizza was not good and the dough had a different consistency. Any thoughts? Than you.

[@davidm9090]

Question! Wouldn't it make more sense to divide and ball the dough before the 8 hour proof (after 4th stretch and fold)? To avoid knocking it back before putting in the fridge?

[@phylumofthefree]

That was great!

[@christianjames8542]

love this

[@alge3399]

Your pizza looks great! however, using alot of flour on the bottom of your pizza when stretching will result in a burnt bottom , especially on a high heat steel. Try using semolina for stretching it doesn't burn and won't absorb into your pizza dough like flour.

[@CallieBoingBoing]

As she did, for the first time I used the parchment paper and it came out great. I CANNOT stand the smell of burning corn meal or the meal that inevitably falls to the bottom of the oven that later has to be clean out. The parchment worked great for me. Game changer. I'm also using a pizza steel.
