    Thanks for the comments.  The crust is made with sourdough starter

    100 gr of starter (100% hydration)
    230 gr of flour ( 200 "00" and 15 each of rye and semolina)
    140 gr of water
    6 gr salt ( 1 tsp)


    3 x stretch and folds 30 min apart
    proof until about 40% rise
    ball it and put in the fridge for 48 hrs or longer
    if it rises too much then just ball it again
    Day of: take it out, dust it with flour, rest for an hour or so and "Bob’s your uncle"

    Bake on a very hot stone, this will not burn but if it’s not hot enough the crust will be white on the bottom.  I launch on a sheet of parchment and remove it as soon as the crust is set

    Thank you! Sounds like my kind of pizza crust dough. The one I'd been using didn't use sourdough starter.

    Dude, you crushed it. Crust looks great including the cornichione. I am going to try your dough recipe as I am still trying to find a sourdough recipe that I like that works at Neapolitan temperatures.  

    To make the wife happy I would need to leave it in the oven a hair longer for a bit more leoparding.

    I could have gone a bit longer but I watch to be sure it is bubbling in the centre and the cheese is starting to brown. It’s a bit of a delicate balance at that point, going too far on the crust may start to burn the cheese. So many factors, stone temp, oven temp, dough recipe, toppings, etc   At least I seem to be getting consistent results now

    @GlennM

    I forgot to ask, how long do you let it rest between mixing and the stretch and folds? Also, at 476 g total weight, are you making a single large pie with this recipe or two smaller ones?

    Thanks.

    I do 3 stretch and folds at 30 min intervals. Since the dough goes into the fridge for 2 days I don’t think this is critical. I make one nice pie about 14"
