It is quick and easy to make a sourdough sheet pan pizza, especially if you already have the dough prepared and in the freezer. We like to make an additional sourdough pizza crust to have on hand for occasions like this.If you do not have a pizza crust, you can make the one outlined above by combing the ingredients and allow it to sit on the countertop until doubled in size (about 8-10 hours). Then, place in the fridge until you are ready to bake it.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Then, take your favorite pizza dough and ensure it is at room temperature.
Oil a sheet pan well or use a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat. Spread the pizza dough out in a rectangle shape on the sheet pan. Prick with a fork 8-10 times in various areas around the pizza to ensure it does not bubble too big.If you oil your pan rather than use parchment paper or a mat, your crust will be crispy! Just be sure to oil enough so it does not stick.
Par bake in the oven for 8 minutes. The crust should be cooked through, though soft to the touch. It should not stick to your fingers when touched.
Remove from the oven and add sauce, cheese and toppings. Place back in the oven until toppings are done to your liking. We put ours in for 5-10 minutes depending on how many toppings we have and if we want the cheese to be golden in color.
Remove from the oven and slice before eating. Serve with dipping sauce of choice (pizza sauce, ranch dressing, bbq sauce), shakable Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes.
Notes
Sourdough Starter
Both active sourdough and sourdough discard work within this recipe. Active sourdough will provide more rise within the pizza crust.
Toppings
Divide the pizza into different sections or make it all the same - your choice!
