The Santa Barbara Baker naturally leavened (sourdough) pizza dough recipe and guide. The best sourdough pizza recipe for Ooni pizza ovens and other backyard pizza ovens such as the Gozney Roccbox or indoors on the Baking Steel. If sourdough isn’t your thing check out my amazing easy no knead instant yeast pizza dough recipe.
When prepared and baked properly the pizza should have a crisp yet tender bite with beautiful leopard spotting. A slice that crunches a bit when you can pick it up and can hold substantial toppings. The interior moist, airy and never bland. I think of it as an “artisan style” dough as in care is taken at every step of the process from the organic and minimal processed ingredients to a slow and long fermentation using natural methods. The goal is delicious pizza. This dough can be used the same day or cold fermented, best used within 4 days.
Important: This dough recipe was developed using organic flours from Central Milling. The protein content and processing of flours can vary widely from brand to brand and may have a significant impact on your final product.

A simple pepperoni pizza is pretty much pizza perfection for me.

Sometimes I like my pizza love a little spicy and even a little funky. For this pizza recipe I changed it up and reached for the kimchi and it turned out to be the perfect pepperoni pairing. Insanely delicious and super easy this kimchi pizza recipe delivers.
Baked New York style in the Ooni Karu 16 the easy no-knead pizza crust bakes up crispy on the bottom but still foldable.
