SOURDOUGH PIZZA
Method
SOURDOUGH PIZZA
- 1
Prepare the Sourdough Pizza Dough
Start by preparing your sourdough pizza dough according to your recipe. Allow it to rise until doubled in size, which usually takes about 4-6 hours.
- 2
Make the Marinara Sauce
In a medium saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 minced garlic cloves and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- 3
Add Tomatoes and Seasoning
Pour in 400 grams of crushed Dinapoli tomatoes, add 2 teaspoons of dried oregano and 1 teaspoon of salt. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
- 4
Simmer the Sauce
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly.
- 5
Preheat the Oven
While the sauce simmers, preheat your oven to its highest setting (usually around 475°F or 245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

Shape the Pizza Dough
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it onto a floured surface. Shape it into a pizza base, ensuring it has a slightly thicker edge for the crust.
- 7
Assemble the Pizza
Spread a generous amount of marinara sauce over the shaped dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Optionally, add shredded mozzarella cheese on top if desired.

Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray. Bake for about 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.

Garnish and Serve
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a minute. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
