<p><strong>**Attention Pizza Fans**: My pizza cookbook, </strong><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717603/pizza-night-by-alexandra-stafford/"><i><strong>Pizza Night</strong></i></a><strong>, is now available for pre-order. Get your copy here: </strong><a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/717603/pizza-night-by-alexandra-stafford/"><i><strong>Pizza Night</strong></i></a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>What you need to make this recipe…:</strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li>…<strong>a sourdough starter</strong>. Ideally, you want to use your starter 4 to 6 hours after you feed it, when it has doubled in volume and is very bubbly and active. You can <a href="https://alexandracooks.com/2023/09/10/how-to-build-a-sourdough-starter-from-scratch/"><strong>build a starter from scratch in just about 1 week</strong></a>. Or you can buy one. Here are three sources:<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="https://breadtopia.com/store/sourdough-starter-live/"><strong>Breadtopia</strong></a></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="https://shop.kingarthurflour.com/items/classic-fresh-sourdough-starter-1-oz"><strong>King Arthur Flour</strong></a></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><a href="https://shop.culturesforhealth.com/products/san-francisco-sourdough-starter"><strong>Cultures for Health</strong></a></li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>…<strong>time</strong>. Once your starter is ready to go, this recipe requires an initial 6 – 18 hour rise, followed by at least 6 hours in the fridge or up to 3 days.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Timing/Schedule:</strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The more I make sourdough, the more I realize that the timing of each bake depends so much on the time of year and the temperature of my kitchen. In the summer, because it is warm and humid, the first rise (bulk fermentation) of all my sourdoughs takes between 6 – 8 hours; in the winter it will take longer, 10 to 12 hours.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>It is best to rely on visual cues. For the bulk fermentation, you want the dough to double or less than double: I now end my bulk fermentation when the dough has risen by 50% to 75% in volume. This is why I cannot recommend using <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E0FNMK/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001E0FNMK&linkId=75293fd68fc6f88c717036e4cb5109e3"><strong>a straight-sided vessel </strong></a> (as opposed to a bowl) enough. It makes gauging the first rise easier.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>If at any point you are worried the dough will over-ferment — say, for example, the bulk fermentation is nearly complete but you are tired and want to go to bed — <strong>stick the vessel in the fridge and pick up the process in the morning</strong>. <i>(Note: If your dough rises above double, don’t despair … my dough has tripled in volume during an overnight rise, and the resulting dough still had plenty of strength and spring.)</i></p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Schedule:</strong> I like mixing this dough in the evening, performing 4 stretch and folds before I go to bed (if time permits), then letting the dough complete its bulk fermentation at room temperature (68ºF) overnight or in the refrigerator (especially in the summer, when my kitchen is much warmer). In the morning, it’s typically ready to be portioned (if it rose at room temperature), transferred to quart containers, and stashed in the fridge. If I had let my dough spend time in the fridge for the bulk fermentation, I remove it in the morning, and let it complete its bulk fermentation at room temperature. Once complete, I portion the dough and stash it in the fridge. Sometimes I’ll use the dough that same evening; sometimes I’ll use it the following day or the next. I encourage using the dough within 3 days. </p>
|
||||||
|
<p>In short: <strong>If you want pizza for the weekend, mix your dough on either Wednesday or Thursday. </strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Troubleshooting:</strong> If you have issues with your dough being too sticky, please read this post: <a href="https://alexandracooks.com/2020/08/28/why-is-my-sourdough-so-sticky-plus-fixes-to-4-common-sourdough-mistakes-and-faqs/"><strong>Why is my sourdough so sticky? The 4 common mistakes.</strong></a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Water:</strong> If you live in a humid environment or if you are making this on a particularly humid day, consider starting with less water, such as 335 grams of water, which will bring the hydration down to 70%. This amount of water will still produce a light airy crust but the dough will be more manageable. </p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Flour choice: </strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>Due to supply issues, I’ve been making this recipe with all-purpose flour, and it works beautifully. You absolutely can use bread flour or <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00394JNAW?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&linkCode=xm2&camp=1789&creativeASIN=B00394JNAW"><strong>tipo 00 flour</strong></a> if you can get your hands on either. If you can’t, know that all-purpose (unbleached) flour works great here. If you use 00 flour, you’ll likely need to reduce the amount of water. I would start with 350 g, and adjust moving forward based on your results. </li>

<h3><strong>INSTRUCTIONS</strong></h3>
|
||||||
|
<ol>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Mix the dough.</strong> Place the starter, salt, and water in a large bowl. Stir with a spatula to combine — it doesn’t have to be uniformly mixed. Add the flour. Mix again until the flour is completely incorporated. Transfer to a straight-sided vessel (if you have one.) Cover vessel with tea towel or cloth bowl cover and let stand 30 minutes.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Stretch and fold:</strong> after 30 minutes have passed, reach into the vessel and pull the dough up and into the center. Turn the vessel quarter turns and continue this pulling 8 to 10 times. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipoWq9VZCI"><strong>See video for guidance.</strong></a> Let the dough rest for another 30 minutes; then repeat the stretching and folding. If possible, repeat this cycle twice more for a total of 4 stretch and folds. By the 4th cycle, you will notice a huge difference in the texture of the dough: it will be smoother, stronger, and more elastic.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Bulk fermentation: </strong>Cover vessel with a tea towel or <a href="https://www.dotandarmy.com/products/extra-large-bowl-cover-perfect-for-breadmaking"><strong>bowl cover</strong></a> and set aside to rise at room temperature (70ºF/21ºC) for 4 to 18 hours (the time will vary depending on the time of year, the strength of your starter, and the temperature of your kitchen; see notes above) or until the dough has roughly doubled in volume. (<strong>UPDATE:</strong> In the past I have recommended letting the dough rise until it doubles in volume. If you’ve had success with this, continue to let the dough double. Recently, I have been stopping the bulk fermentation when the dough increases by 50% in volume, and I feel my dough is even stronger in the end.) <i><strong>Note:</strong> Do not use your oven with the light on for the bulk fermentation — it is too warm for the dough. When determining when the bulk fermentation is done, it is best to rely on visual cues (doubling in volume) as opposed to time. A </i><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E0FNMK/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001E0FNMK&linkId=75293fd68fc6f88c717036e4cb5109e3"><i><strong>straight-sided vessel</strong></i></a><i> makes monitoring the bulk fermentation especially easy because it allows you to see when your dough has truly doubled.</i></li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Portion and shape:</strong> Turn the dough out onto a work surface and shape into a rough ball, using as much flour as needed — the dough will be sticky. Using a bench scraper, divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Sprinkle portions with flour. With floured hands, roll each portion into a ball, using the pinkie-edges of your hands to pinch the dough underneath each ball. Transfer each round of dough to a plastic quart container, cover, and store in fridge for at least 6 hours or up to 3 days or transfer to the freezer (see notes in post about thawing).</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Make the pizzas:</strong> Pull out a round (or more) of dough from the fridge one hour before you plan on baking. Dust dough with flour and place on a floured work surface. Let sit untouched for about an hour (a little longer or shorter is fine). Place a Baking Steel or pizza stone in the top third of your oven. Set oven to 550ºF. Heat oven for at least 45 minutes but ideally 1 hour prior to baking.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>Shape the dough: </strong>Gently shape dough into a 10-inch (roughly) round handling it as minimally as possible. (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OipoWq9VZCI"><strong>See video for guidance</strong></a>.) Lay a sheet of parchment paper on top of a pizza peel. Transfer the dough round to the parchment-lined peel.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ol>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Top and Bake</strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>To make a classic Margherita-style pizza:</strong> Spread 2 tablespoons of tomato sauce over the surface of the dough. Top with mozzarella to taste. Sprinkle with parmesan to taste. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle lightly with sea salt. Shimmy the pizza, parchment paper and all into the oven. Bake pizza until top is blistered, about 5-6 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Sprinkle with basil, if you have it. Cut and serve. Discard parchment paper.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>To make a kale and crème fraîche pizza:</strong> Place the kale in a small bowl, drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt, and toss. Spoon crème fraîche over the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border or so—I use about a tablespoon per pizza. Sprinkle with minced garlic and a handful of grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Top with the kale. Shimmy the pizza, parchment paper and all into the oven. Bake pizza until top is blistered, about 5 – 6 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. Cut and serve. Discard parchment paper.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li><strong>To make a naked pizza with scallion oil:</strong> Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in a skillet with 1/4 cup of minced scallions (or ramps!) and 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes. Keep it over low heat while you make the pizza. Spoon crème fraîche over the dough leaving a 1/2-inch border or so—I use about a tablespoon per pizza. Sprinkle with a handful of grated parmesan. Shimmy the pizza, parchment paper and all into the oven. Bake pizza until top is blistered, about 5 – 6 minutes. Transfer to cutting board. At this point, the scallions should be starting to “frizzle”. If they aren’t, crank up the heat until the oil is sizzling. Spoon a few tablespoons of the hot oil over the pizza (you’ll have extra oil). Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Cut and serve.</li>

<h1><strong>Simple Sourdough Focaccia</strong></h1>

|
<p>https://alexandracooks.com/2019/03/22/simple-sourdough-focaccia-a-beginners-guide/</p>
|
||||||
|
<p> </p>
|
||||||
|
<p>Adapted from my favorite yeasted, slow-rise focaccia recipe — <a href="https://alexandracooks.com/2018/03/02/overnight-refrigerator-focaccia-best-focaccia/"><strong>overnight refrigerator focaccia</strong></a> — this recipe replaces the yeast with a sourdough starter.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>UPDATE: Video guidance is here! Watch up above or click the link below in the recipe card. </p>
|
||||||
|
<p><i><strong>What you need to make this recipe…:</strong></i></p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>…<strong>a sourdough starter</strong>. I bought mine from <a href="https://breadtopia.com/store/sourdough-starter-live/"><strong>Breadtopia</strong></a>. It was easy to activate. There are no instructions on the package itself; follow the instructions on the <a href="https://breadtopia.com/starter_instructions/"><strong>video here</strong></a>.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>…<strong>time</strong>. Once your starter is ready to go, this recipe requires an initial 4- 18 hour rise, followed by a second 4- to 6-hour second rise. After the initial rise (depending on the time of year and temperature of your kitchen), you can deflate the dough, and stick it in the fridge for 8 to 10 hours (maybe longer), which might help you regarding your schedule. Keep in mind, when you remove the dough from the fridge and transfer it to a pan, it will still need to rise for another 5- to 6- hours.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>…<strong>water</strong>. Apparently, chlorine in water can adversely affect sourdough. Leaving water at room temperature for 24 hours will allow most of the chlorine to escape.When I am in the habit of making sourdough bread, I fill a large pitcher with water and leave it out at room temperature. I use this for my sourdough breads and starter. Truth be told, I’ve used water straight from the tap and have not noticed a difference.</li>
|
||||||
|
</ul>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Water quantity:</strong> Depending on where you live and the time of year, you may need to cut the water back. If you live in a humid environment, for instance, I would suggest starting with 430 g water. If you are not using bread flour, you also may need to cut the water back a bit.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Timing:</strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The more I make sourdough, the more I realize so much depends on the time of year and the temperature of my kitchen. In the summer, because it is so warm, the first rise (bulk fermentation) takes between 4 – 6 hours; in the winter the first rise takes 12 – 18 hours.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>The key with this recipe is to make sure the first rise doesn’t go too long — you want the dough to nearly double. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E0FNMK/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001E0FNMK&linkId=75293fd68fc6f88c717036e4cb5109e3"><strong>A straight sided vessel </strong></a> (as opposed to a bowl) makes gauging the first rise easier. (Note: If your dough rises above double, don’t despair … recently my dough tripled in volume during an overnight rise, and the resulting focaccia was still delicious, light, airy, etc.)</p>
|
||||||
|
<p>A few thoughts: If you are making this focaccia in the summer (northern hemisphere), use 50 g of starter and check the dough every couple of hours. If you are making this in the winter, use 100 g of starter, and plan for a long first rise.</p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Troubleshooting:</strong> If you have issues with your dough being too sticky, please read this post: <a href="https://alexandracooks.com/2020/08/28/why-is-my-sourdough-so-sticky-plus-fixes-to-4-common-sourdough-mistakes-and-faqs/"><strong>Why is my sourdough so sticky? The 4 common mistakes.</strong></a></p>
|
||||||
|
<p><strong>Flour choice: </strong></p>
|
||||||
|
<ul>
|
||||||
|
<li>I’ve been using King Arthur Flour’s special patent flour — bought a 50-lb. bag of it at Restaurant Depot. Its protein content, 12.7%, is the same as the protein content of its bread flour. I also have used all-purpose flour (11.7%) with success, but I recommend bread flour, which seems to be more reliable for people especially those living in humid climates. If you only have ap flour on hand, you may consider reducing the water a bit — bread flour absorbs slightly more liquid than all-purpose flour.</li>

<h3><strong>INSTRUCTIONS</strong></h3>

|
<li>Place the starter, salt, and water in a large bowl. Stir with a spatula to combine — it doesn’t have to be uniformly mixed. Add the flour. Mix again until the flour is completely incorporated.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>If time permits, perform one “fold”: 30 minutes after you mix the dough, reach into the bowl and pull the dough up and into the center. Turn the bowl quarter turns and continue this pulling 8 to 10 times. <a href="https://youtu.be/koEppmNnT0A"><strong>See video for guidance.</strong></a></li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Drizzle with a splash of olive oil and rub to coat. Cover bowl with a tea towel or <a href="https://www.dotandarmy.com/products/extra-large-bowl-cover-perfect-for-breadmaking"><strong>bowl cover</strong></a> and set aside to rise at room temperature (70ºF/21ºC) for 4 to 18 hours (the time will vary depending on the time of year, the strength of your starter, and the temperature of your kitchen — in summer, for instance, my sourdoughs double in 6 hours; in winter, they double in 18 hours. Do not use an oven with the light on for the bulk fermentation — it will be too warm. <strong>It is best to rely on visual cues (doubling in volume) as opposed to time to determine when the bulk fermentation is done. A </strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E0FNMK/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B001E0FNMK&linkId=75293fd68fc6f88c717036e4cb5109e3"><strong>straight-sided vessel</strong></a><strong> makes monitoring the bulk fermentation especially easy because it allows you to see when your dough has truly doubled.</strong>).</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>When dough has doubled, place 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a 9×13-inch pan. (I have been using <a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0029JOC6I/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=alexandrask06-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B0029JOC6I&linkId=8766a67fb99a14b00ea6151c9aa67307"><strong>this USA Pan</strong></a>, which I love. I have had no sticking issues. If you are using a glass pan, you may, as a precaution, want to butter it it first — I have had disasters with bread sticking when I’ve used oil alone with other baking vessels.)</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Drizzle dough with a tablespoon of olive oil. Use your hand to gently deflate the dough and release it from the sides of the bowl. Gently scoop the dough into the center of the pool of oil in your prepared pan. Fold dough envelope style from top to bottom and side to side to create a rough rectangle. Turn dough over so seam-side is down. <a href="https://youtu.be/koEppmNnT0A"><strong>Video guidance here</strong></a>.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Rub top of dough with oil. Leave alone for 4 to 6 hours, uncovered, or until puffy and nearly doubled.</li>
|
||||||
|
<li>Heat oven to 425ºF. Rub hands lightly with oil, and using all ten fingers, press gently into the dough to dimple and stretch the dough to nearly fit the pan. Sprinkle generously with sea salt. Transfer pan to the oven and bake for about 25 minutes or until golden all around. Remove pan from oven and transfer bread to a cooling rack. Cool at least 20 minutes before slicing.</li>
