How To Make An Easy And Tasty Sourdough Pizza

Welcome to my recipe post about how to make a delicious sourdough pizza that is full of flavor. And I promise you, it is really easy to make.

I have to confess, I’m kind of a bit obsessed with sourdough and the use of a sourdough starter.

Read my post on making delicious pancakes with sourdough starter, for example. Other recipes are still to come like my no-knead sourdough bread, focaccia bread with sourdough, and a few more I still have to write up.

Even though it takes longer for the dough to rise compared to a yeast-based pizza dough, it is worth the wait.

The sourdough pizza dough is more flavorsome, and it is easier to work with. You can see it here in my step-by-step cooking tutorial.

My Sourdough Starter

It goes without saying that a good sourdough starter plays the main role in our recipe. My starter hibernates in the fridge. To bring it back to life, I usually take it out a day before I am planning on using it.

I give it some flour and water, and let the jar sit in a warm place.

You can see the bubbles on the surface of our starter. That means the sourdough starter is ready to be used, it is active so to speak.


My Sourdough Pizza Toppings

For this delicious and easy-to-make sourdough pizza, I am using my favorite vegetables. Think red, yellow, green capsicum/bell peppers, and sliced red onion.

For the tomato sauce base, I am using storebought pasta sauce. Well, I am a busy mum of three, so sometimes I have to cut corners. But seriously, the pasta sauce tastes pretty good.

The choice of grated cheese is also up to you, whether you like mozzarella, cheddar, or Colby cheese on your pizza pie.

That is the beautiful thing about pizza, anything goes…

Back to our vegetables. I do like to saute them in olive oil before using them on my pizza; just to soften them a little bit. I season them with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

To top it off, I use a special ingredient as a topping that makes the pizza even more special. If you want to find out what it is, you have to watch my cooking video.

I would love to know what you think of it. Would you try it, or have you tried it before?
