How to make the BEST SOURDOUGH PIZZA

This is how you make the perfect sourdough pizza with all the tiny but important details. Everything is done from scratch, explained in detail, easy for you to follow leaving no questions unanswered. This masterclass looks at the recipe as well as the why behind it. That way you know how to adapt when things go sideways.
Recipe for the dough (for 4 pizzas):
- 600g of strong flour
- 360g of water (60%)
- 12g of salt (2%)
- 30-120g of sourdough starter (5%-20%). This way you can influence the speed of when the dough is ready. 60g is a good amount (10%)
Instructions:
- Mix all together until nicely incorporated
- Knead in intervals of 5 minutes, 5 minutes break until you see a good window pane effect
- Extract a small sample
- When the sample reached a 50% size increase your dough is ready for cold fermentation. If you want to bake the same day, just form the dough balls directly. Move the dough into the fridge if you want to have the pizza ready later. Important, fridge should have less than 6°C (42°F)
- Up to 7 days later, whenever you need take the dough out of the fridge 3 hours prior to making the pizza. Form the pizza balls.
- Let them rest covered with a wet towel on your counter
- They will start being good 3 hours later. They continue to be good for another 3-6 hours afterwards
- Make your pizza with whatever method you prefer
