Sourdough and Cornmeal Pizza Crust

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients together to form a soft dough. Let the dough rest for 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350°F.

Step 3

Pat the dough into a disk and set it aside.

Step 4

Cut two pieces of parchment paper to fit your baking pan or pizza pan.

Step 5

Place the dough disk between the parchment sheets and roll the dough out to 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick. If you're using a pizza pan roll a circle, if you are using a baking sheet roll a rectangle.

Step 6

Remove the top parchment and slide the bottom parchment with the dough onto your baking sheet. If the dough overhangs the pan you can cut it off for a clean edge.

Step 7

Using a fork, dock the dough to keep it from bubbling up in the oven while baking.

Step 8

Par-bake the crust without any toppings for 15 minutes.

Step 9

While the crust is baking prepare your toppings.

Step 10

Remove the crust from the oven and set it aside.

Step 11

Increase the oven's heat to 450°F.

Step 12

Spread the pizza with sauce, cheese, and favorite meat and veggie toppings.

Step 13

Return the pizza to the oven and continue baking for 15 more minutes.

Step 14

Once the pizza is bubbly and brown, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting it into slices.

Step 15

Serve the pizza hot and enjoy!
