I brush my dough with olive oil before I put the tomato sauce so it doesn’t get soggy. It works great and it add a lovely flavor.

[@SpencerToddBrown]

Great pro tip!!!

[@kadaver78]

I have been making pizza with this recipe for months I let the dough rest for a least 24 hours with excellent results , thank you for making this very helpful video .

[@catche85]

This is an excellent same-day sourdough recipe. You really can get it done in 3.5 hours and have an excellent base. For my Roccbox, I should have split the dough into 4, as it stretched so easily and beautifully that the pizza was too big for my oven! I have tried a few different sourdough and yeasted pizza recipes, and this is my favourite so far. It baked up beautifully, didn't bake too fast, got excellent leopard spots and bubbles and was light and delicious. This will be my go to recipe from now on.

[@judithlehman6533]

Thanks for adding all the little extra explanations about the ingredients and why they react the way they do. Interesting and educational!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you Judith! 😊🙏

[@teaacustardcream2868]

Just finished making the pizza today. OMG!!! It was amazing!!! Got the leopard spots too (home oven) better than a pizza restaurant, thank you for the wonderful receipe

[@Thefarmyard7633]

Been watching you for a few months now and your methods have heightened my bread making capabilities but you really did it with this video!!!! I’m a pizza fanatic and I have been using Peter Reinhart’s formula for pizza but this is light years ahead of that one. I like the idea of a dry sauce as to not have a soggy crust. My favorite topping is sausage!

[@Mo-bn2gy]

I’ve made this twice and it was outstanding both times. Thank you for sharing!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you :)

[@CharlieSpoons]

peter - (love your channel BTW) little confused you said prove the dough for 3hrs (can be used to make pizza) or pit in the fridge for 12 hrs, take out let it get some temp i.e. reach room temp then use it. BUT you waited 3 days so was the 3 days in the fridge after 3 hrs proving OR 3 days proving at room temp. ? sorry if this is obvious..

[@Fahnder99]

yes, confusing. I'd say you need 3hrs proof at RT room temperature (at least). But 1-3days proof at CT cold temperature is optional, after 3hrs proof at RT.

[@troythegardener]

Looks great! I've been looking for an easy sourdough recipe to cook in my new pizza oven and this one is perfect

[@SimpleSourdough]

🙏🙏

[@teslarex]

Beautiful crust and technique! I’m gonna try this! The steel high with broiler on is the solution! And the recipe with long ferment looks great and convenient! Thank you!

[@SimpleSourdough]

I'm glad you liked it, thank you :)

[@artgamesforfun]

omg peter, now i want sourdough pizza. looks delish, thanks for such a clear and easy illustration how to achieve this!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Your welcome! 😊🙏 enjoy the pizza

[@anusara7899]

Thank you for the easiest recipe! I made it last week and I am going to make it again today! no time consuming and no complication at all! Love it. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing recipe!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Happy to hear it worked out well for you and that you liked the recipe :)

[@Lukas-wk5wq]

At minute 2:55 you say, if you do an autolyse, you might end up mixing the dough too much, in the end. But how is mixing more than necessary bad? Does the dough get to warm an the fermentation goes too quickly? Why shouldn't it? Great you make these in depth explanations.

[@Alaska129]

I scaled the recipe to make three pies. Made the dough on a Friday and let it cold ferment in the fridge for about 7 days. The dough was like a cloud or a pillow ( Fabulous ) Thank you for sharing this it will be my goto for some time . Best regards from Alaska

[@HannielPanchoo]

Hi great video, is it possible to use sourdough discard or less active starter and if so, what adjustments to the ingredients/recipe, if any, are needed? I really enjoy your videos!!

[@SimpleSourdough]

If you use discard the proofing time is shorter as the sourdough will be more hungry.

[@shinnyari]

My first time making sourdough pizza! Thank you for making it easy and not intimidating. I just finished making the dough and it’s resting as I speak. I can’t wait to try it!

[@mhlinen]

Really great tutorial - adorable host as well;) - thank you for this, the dough turned out just perfect!

[@hedisandor6827]

What a great video and explanation! What can I use instead of a pizza stone? I don't have one😞

[@SimpleSourdough]

I’m in love… thank you so much for sharing this… I’m a new sunbird now❤️

[@SimpleSourdough]

Welcome!

[@Huisache520]

Thanks for this. I got 2 right-sized pizzas for my oven (Breville Pizzaiolo). Most importantly was your technique for forming the pizza pie dough was helpful. Using lots of flour with some semolina, I stretched the dough ball gently, minimal pressing and it easily spread out. Like you mentioned, care is needed to avoid creating any holes in the dough. I was able to transfer both my pies (tomato sauce, mozzarella, chicken, bacon) to my low clearance oven. I did not pick up on your cooking temp process however so next time I will just increase mine up to 750 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe I will get a more puffy crust. I have a stone while you used a steel so am not familiar. Anyway, thanks again and you have given me encouragement in my quest to be proficient sourdough pizza cook.

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[@donnamariagarner5231]

Great video, I’m going to get set my levain and try your recipe……thank you🙏🏻

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you Donna let me know how it goes :-)

[@andrewgrant-ue7bk]

Delicious looking pizza!, have you ever tried to bake a pizza in your Rofco oven?

[@greglee1585]

Thanks for this video! I am excited to try it when I get back home. I went to a pizza restaurant in Bath UK last night and there Sough dough, that was, Thin, light & crispy! I loved it! Hopefully this recipe will mirror that one. I assume it will cook well in a wood fired oven?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Works very well!

[@MrALBANIA123456]

Thank you for sharing your recipe. Can the dough get over proof by leaving it in the fridge for 3 days?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Sometimes if fridge is not cold

[@joeredd11]

Hello my friend.I have been looking and learning a lot from all your wonderful videos thank you for posting. I was wondering what type of mixer that is in this pizza vid?

[@deedaw9246]

Just made a starter, can't wait to try this. Thank you for sharing!

[@dinaa4596]

What an easy recipe 😋 👌not just that the results were great 😊 it was my first time making pizza and it turned out delicious💯 Thank you Peter & Sofie 🤍

[@micheljodoin531]

Thank you for the nice recipe. My question is : how long do you wait after you take out the balls from the fridge before making pizza ? Thanks !

[@SimpleSourdough]

30min - 1 hour

[@alge3399]

Thanks for the video, very informative. If I want to bump up the dough to 68%-70% hydration, do I add more water or should I add more starter? How many grams would I need? I'm cooking in a Onni Koda 16. Thanks! 🇮🇹

[@SimpleSourdough]

use breadcalc.com and just multiply the recipe :)

[@jackiemartin691]

Great video! Can you freeze the dough to use later? If so, at what point would you freeze it?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Only if it has yeast

[@matilderodriguez1603]

I really like ur recipe and how it’s look 👀 I’m going to give a try

[@mohamedmahfouz1404]

The best recipe i ever tried, thank you

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you so much!

[@DANVIIL]

How long do you rest the dough after you take it out of the refrigerator before making the pizza ? Do you really use 360+ grams per pizza? Beautiful results and just the recipe I'm looking for.

[@SimpleSourdough]

1 hour rest time

[@GreySectoid]

Delicious looking pizza! Thanks for sharing the recipe.

[@SimpleSourdough]

Hope you give it a try :)

[@kamillaAsten]

After the dough has rested in the fridge for a few days, and you are ready to bake it, do you take the dough out, so it can get warmer (room temperature) or do you shape it, when it is cold?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Usually 1h in room temp first

[@rossr6616]

Thank you. How long out of overnight fridge before forming the pie by hand?

[@SimpleSourdough]

1h

[@arcanemuttering]

Do you think it could be used for making pita? If I just bake smaller pieces and without topping 🤔

[@SimpleSourdough]

Works well or use a bit less water

[@lorigail6644]

After the cold proof should the dough be allowed to warm to room temp before shaping? Thankyou!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Sure!

[@suzanmhich7645]

[@hedisandor6827]

Do you rest the dough before the bake on room temperature some time or do you use it straight from the fridge? Thank you!

[@SimpleSourdough]

Both will work but its easier to shape if it has some temperature :)

[@AussieAngeS]

Thank you so much. My max oven goes to 260c do I preheat it at 260c and bake at 260c or is that too high? How long would I cook the pizza for please?

[@donalfredo5958]

Your sourdough pizza looks great, ask when you get the dough out of the fridge. Do you leave it to rise at room temperature or do you form it into a pizza and bake it straight away? Thanks and greetings from Berlin

[@SimpleSourdough]

Yes we set it to rest in room temp :) then shape! thx

[@HannielPanchoo]

Great video, very different from others on KZbin, nice and simple. One question, if I wanted to freeze, could I do that before the bulk proofing?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you very much. In that case I would bake it and then freeze it :-)

[@J-Loaf]

Hi, wonderful content on this channel - keep it up! I have a question on mixing - I don't have a mixer, so how long would you hand-mix this dough for? I guess the lower hydration will make this more difficult?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Hi John, Thank you! For handmixing. Just mix ingredients and fold for 2 times. Other method is to ‘slap and fold’ the dough for a minute or so :-)

[@greglee1585]

Thank you for this recipe! I made it last night and it was delicious. My question to is if I wanted to made 10 dough balls, I understand the flour and water will change, but how do I adjust the sourdough? Do I increase the amount of sourdough, like I increase the flour and water, or does the sourdough stay constant?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Use breadcalc.com and just multiply the recipe :)

[@jagdishvora5642]

[@SimpleSourdough]

Thank you! Yes we surely have :-) it gives a crunchy less spongy crust .

[@rossclarke6383]

Hi - new to this pizza dough business! Your recipe at 3:10 calls for 240g of water, but at 63% hydration with 400g of flour that would = 252g of water. Which one should I use? - asking because I want to x3 this recipe.

[@SuperSnidely]

Just starting my Sourdough Pizza Making. Had a few challenges. THANK You for this excellent presentation. I now, have a better method. I am tempted to get a pizza steel, but have a stone that should work. Quick question - You said oven with "Fan ON" Is that what we call Convection setting in US?

[@nolawebster721]

Hello Peter, could you show how to make the pizza base without the electric mixer as I don’t have one…if possible by hand? Also thanks for the Danish seeded rye loaf , I make it every week , kind regards 🍀

[@SimpleSourdough]

Yes its very easy to make. Can be done by just mixing all ingredients :)

[@greglee1585]

Very informative video! I am planning on trying it out one day soon. I like to make around 10 dough balls for cooking in my wood fired oven. How many grams were your dough balls? Knowing this will help me figure out a conversation rate from what you showed? Would the sourdough amount double as well or is this more consistent?

[@SimpleSourdough]

We usually do 250-350g dough. You can just multiply the recipe and itll work :)

[@S7S7820]

Hello.Thank you for the recipe.It doesn't contain oil ?

[@SimpleSourdough]

It can be added

[@jackskalski3699]

Interesting video. Is there any concrete reason why olive oil is not in the dough, like there was a reason why there was no autolyse?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Both can be used :)

[@JimSlaughterOC]

Thank you so much for all of your great videos. I really enjoy watching them. I've made the Danish rye bread, in fact I have a loaf of it baking as I write this! It's really good. As for pizza, I love to make pizza so I will be very interested to try out some of your ideas.

Peter do you always colder ferment for 3 days?

Hi, can i understand this as single-rise pizza dough, since you shape the dough balls first, and then let them do 3-hour bulk fermentation, then bake directly or cold fermention for a while before bakiing.

[@SimpleSourdough]

Works aswell :)

I really love your explanation, I just have one question: will it be ok to add a tablespoon of oil inside the dough? If so, when should it be added? at the same time when adding all the ingredients to the mixing bowl? Thank you!

[@BenDickerson-x6t]

I added 5 grams of oil to my dough. I mix everything then add the oil. The oil will help crisp the pizza.

Hi! Caputo tipo 00 flour will be good?

[@SimpleSourdough]

Yes works well

[@XMickyMouseX]

Would it be a difference in taste using normal rye sourdough or wheat sourdough? And to prevent the Pizza to taste like Bread would it be a good idea to ferment the sourdough at 26-30 C to activate the yeast instead of the lactic bacteria?

[@SimpleSourdough]

I never tried with a rye starter before. I like the sponge and acidic taste from cold ferment :-)

[@SimpleSourdough]

Will definitely try with a rye starter , thanks

[@krzysztofmedyna3661]

I worry that the rye may not work as needed for proper pizza dough behavior for the same reasons working rye dough is a completely different experience than white/wheat flours. I would love to know how this works out for you if you decide to try it!

[@SimpleSourdough]

@@krzysztofmedyna3661 For sure :-) will try

[@XMickyMouseX]

@@krzysztofmedyna3661 If you use rye starter in a temperature range (26-30 C) and starter rye to water ratio (100-120 %) which pushes the yeast in the starter and strong 00 wheat flower for the pizza dough, it will work in terms of rise. Another question is the taste, as as there are always lactic or vinegar bacteria in the starter the pizza may taste a bit like sourdough bread. Depends probably also on the used toppings. It may be easier to use yeast in the first place, if you don't like bread taste in the pizza dough.
