For the Dough

100 g sourdough starter Provides a unique, tangy flavor and pleasing texture.
200 g flour A mix of half white bread flour and half rye flour works beautifully.
1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil Adds a rich, aromatic touch.
1/2 tsp salt Enhances the flavors of the cheese and toppings.

For the Toppings

1 portion pizza sauce Rich and tangy base.
125 g buffalo mozzarella, sliced Creamy and stretchy, a pizza essential.
2 varieties hard cheeses Grated or cut into small cubes, like Parmesan or Pecorino.
a few basil leaves Fresh and fragrant, for a burst of herbal flavor.
to taste black pepper For a subtle bite that elevates the dish.

Preparation

Preheat your oven to a high temperature of at least 230°C (450°F) for crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sourdough starter, flour, olive oil, and salt.
Knead the mixture for a few minutes until a robust dough forms.
Let the dough rest for at least half an hour to enhance flavor.
Divide the rested dough into four equal portions.
Roll or stretch each portion into your desired shape.

Cooking

Spread a generous amount of pizza sauce on top of each base.
Layer the buffalo mozzarella and sprinkle the hard cheeses evenly over the sauce.
Slide the pizzas into the oven and bake for about 8-10 minutes.
Once golden brown and bubbling with melted cheese, remove from oven.

Finishing Touches

For a more complex flavor, let the dough ferment in the fridge overnight. Experiment with toppings like roasted vegetables or cured meats.
