SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST
This was one of the better pizza crusts I have tried at home. The sourdough in this is used more for flavor than the rise.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500°F.
- Mix starter, 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and flour together in a mixing bowl until it blends and forms a ball (add more or less flour to adjust consistency; if you get it too dry just add a little more starter).
- Allow dough to rest for about 30 minutes (don't look for it to rise, just to get the dough where it is easier to roll).
- Roll out mixture on parchment paper or a lightly floured surface until it fits the size of your pan, turning the dough as you roll (if you want a more even circle).
- Par-bake the crust on a pizza stone or pizza sheet for about 7 minutes, then remove from oven.
- Before topping your pizza with any sauce, cheese, or toppings, brush the top of the crust all over with remaining olive oil (as needed), using a pastry brush (this helps keep soggy moisture out of the crust as it bakes).
- Top as desired and cook until browned and cheese is melted.
- If you use certain vegetables as a topping (onions are the first thing that comes to mind) you might want to cook those about halfway before topping the pizza with them (or they will be too crunchy).

CHEWY SOURDOUGH PIZZA CRUST
Sourdough pizza is different. The crust will blow your mind. Don't try it unless you're prepared for addiction. It's best to use a fast-rising culture to produce just the right amount of leavening in quick order. This recipe is from "World Sourdoughs From Antiquity" by Ed Wood.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will directly affect the taste of your pizza. Use fresh, organic ingredients whenever possible, and avoid using processed or pre-packaged foods.
- Make sure your sourdough starter is active: Your sourdough starter should be bubbly and active before you use it to make pizza dough. If your starter is not active, it will not produce enough carbon dioxide to create a light and airy crust.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough is an important step in developing the gluten. This will help to create a strong and elastic dough that will be easy to work with and will produce a chewy crust.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: The dough should be allowed to rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to develop the flavor and texture of the dough.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature: The pizza should be baked at a high temperature in order to create a crispy crust. The ideal temperature for baking pizza is between 450 and 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use fresh toppings: The toppings you use on your pizza will also affect the taste. Use fresh, seasonal ingredients and avoid using processed or pre-packaged toppings.

Sourdough pizza is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can easily make sourdough pizza at home.
