Sourdough Pizza Crust

900 g starter
1000 g flour
400 g water
1/2 c oil
1-2 Tbsp Salt

Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together, set aside for 30 min.

Knead/fold a couple times until smooth. Don't over-work it!

Divide into portions (not required, but makes it easier later), refrigerate overnight.

Remove from the fridge 2-3 hours before using.

Stretch out, let set, stretch again until desired size is achieved.

Pierce the center with a fork and bake on a hot sheet tray (or pizza stone) in an oven heated to the highest temperature for 5 min.

Add desired toppings, bake 7-8 min or until golden brown and bubbly.
