SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST
Here is the best thing about sourdough pizza crust, you can whip it up in less than 20 minutes because it does not need to rise. You will need a sourdough starter. If you don’t have a starter, you can learn how to make your own here.
You will also need a pizza stone or a cast-iron skillet. I have two large cast-iron skillets that I use and they work great. It makes the perfect shape and size. However, a pizza stone will work just as well.
You will also need some oil, salt, and herbs. That is it, folks. Making a sourdough pizza is as easy as it gets.
SOURDOUGH PIZZA DOUGH BENEFITS
Sourdough is made by the fermentation of dough using naturally occurring lactobacilli and yeast. The bread or crust will have a more sour taste to it than traditional bread, hence the name.
Sourdough is highly nutritional and can sometimes be tolerated by those that are gluten intolerant. My son had gluten and dairy sensitivity when he was about a year and a half, and after doing the GAPS diet for two years, we started slowly introducing foods back into his diet. Sourdough was one of the first grains we tried, and he tolerated it wonderfully.
Sourdough has prebiotic and probiotic benefits and is full of live cultures, making it easier to digest. It is a fermented food, and like all fermented foods, it has live cultures in it. Sourdough is known to be one of the healthiest bread to consume.
SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST RECIPE
There are a few tips when it comes to baking with sourdough. Since we are using straight sourdough starter for this recipe, it is going to be sticky. This is why we need to make this in a cast-iron skillet or on a pizza stone.
It is also important to preheat the skillet or stone before putting the dough onto the skillet. This will prevent it from sticking. When cooking anything in a cast-iron skillet, it is always best to preheat it first.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups fed sourdough starter
2 teaspoons Italian seasonings
Salt to taste
Avocado oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 4oo degrees. Place the cast-iron skillet or pizza stone into the oven while it is preheating.
Once the oven is preheated, carefully remove the skillet or stone from the oven.
Drizzle the pan with avocado oil and then pour the sourdough starter into the preheated skillet or stone.
Drizzle the crust with avocado oil and sprinkle with salt and seasonings.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes or until the crust is crispy.
Top your pizza with desired toppings and bake until cheese is melted and toppings are hot.
SAUSAGE SOURDOUGH PIZZA RECIPE
There are so many ways to top a pizza. The more the toppings the better, in my opinion! However, my kid’s favorite is a traditional sausage sourdough pizza. You really can’t go wrong with sausage on pizza.
You can easily make this recipe into a vegetarian pizza, plain cheese, or meat lovers. Top the pizza how you wish.
I am obsessed with onions and add that to everything I make. So of course, this pizza will have some onions on it. You can leave them out you prefer.

2 sourdough pizza crusts
Avocado oil
6 fresh Roma tomatoes
1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
Shredded mozzarella cheese
