• First using a large bowl of a stand mixer and a gram scale weigh out the sourdough starter and water. Mix this until it forms a slurry and then add the rest of the ingredients except the salt.
• Mix with the dough hook until shaggy and then let rest or autolyze for 10 minutes.
• Then add the salt and knead using the mixer for 7 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to a large mixing bowl that has been oiled and cover with plastic wrap.
• Put in the fridge to cold ferment until ready to use. At least 2 hour but no more than 5 days.

Option 1 A Somewhere in-between crust:

• When you are ready to make a pizza take out the crust and divide into 3 equal dough balls (if you plan to make them all up, otherwise just take out how many you need) then on a piece of parchment paper, on a large work surface, shape and let rest and rise for 30-45 minutes. You can let the dough rise longer if you would like but it is not necessary.
• It might be a little sticky but it is quite easy to work with when it is still cold from being in the fridge. If you are having issues with it being too sticky use wet hands or coat with a little oil.
• Add your favorite toppings.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees with pizza stone inside. Transfer the pizza using the parchment paper and either a cookie sheet with no sides or a pizza peel. Reduce the heat to 400 degrees and bake for 15-18 minutes until crust is browned nicely. Enjoy!

Option 2 Cast Iron Pan Pizza

• When ready to bake preheat oven to 450 degrees. In a 12- or 14-inch cast iron skillet place 1-2 T olive oil in the bottom of the pan.
• Heat the skillet over medium heat. Take 1/3 of the pizza dough and shape it a little then place it in the skillet and push out to the sides of the dough until it is at the edges of the pan.
• Next, add the toppings to the top of the dough. You will cook the crust until it is lightly browning on the bottom, on the stovetop, about 5-7 minutes.
• Transfer to 450-degree oven for another 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
• Loosen the crust from the skillet and transfer to a cutting board to serve. Enjoy!

Option 3 Par Bake and Freeze:

• You can par bake this crust and freeze them. Follow directions for option 1 but take don't put any toppings on the pizza and only bake for 6-8 minutes. You want it to still be pale. Then freeze.
• When you are ready to bake them just take them out of the freezer, top with toppings and bake at 450 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.

Option 4 Thin and Crispy:

• Follow the directions for Option 1 but use a fourth of the dough and spread it thinly on parchment paper. Add your favorite toppings and bake for 12 minutes and enjoy!
