I experimented and froze the dough at the shaped point (after the 24 hour prooving) putting each piece on a floured square of parchment and floured the tops of each piece. I open froze them first in the freezer drawer and then put them all in a bag together for when I want to use them. They defrost pretty quickly and make the process less intensive, I only usually want to make a couple at a time so freezing a batch makes life easy. My youngest son said that they are the best pizzas he has ever had! ( and he's an expert!) I now want a pizza stone and a paddle thing, currently use an upturned grill pan and bread board.
Hi! I live in Korea. I've been practicing my own sourdough bread for years with Patrick's recipe and it's amazing! One of my German friend is in my neighbourhood , when he tries my bread, he says " I feel like I'm back home!". Thanks Patrick for sharing the great recipe!
I’ve followed this recipe several times and it always turns out great. This past time due to my wife wanting it instantly and not the next day I improvised. To have it ready the same day you basically prepare it how you would a sourdough bowl as far as proofing/fermentation goes. I put it all together and let it sit in a WARMED oven for 2-3hrs and then followed the rest of the steps. Turned out pretty much the same, the overnight I believe provides a bit more of a robust flavor, but not too much difference if you need it the day of and didn’t plan ahead. Just treat it as regular sourdough. This was with a white flour starter.
This one goes into my permanent recipe book. Tried 3 times already with 100% success. After roasting and cooling I put each one in a plastic bag and freeze. Now pizza whenever I want! Feel sorry for the local pizza joint, unfortunately they lost my business thanks to this recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I found this video a couple days ago and now I'm eating this pizza and I've had some pizzas in my life but this almost made me cry it's so good. Voting for sourdough (and Patrick) for president.
I made this today (started yesterday)... followed everything exactly per the recipe, even the less is more part. I cooked them on my big green egg at 600 degrees f. Absolutely perfect! Thanks Patrick!
Just discovered Patrick Ryan and as a novice baker/cook I think he’s pretty fantastic. Love the patching up of the tear. A lot of novices like myself would have got annoyed and binned the lot at that point! I’m glad even the pros are human.
Incredibly useful tutorial. Had my first pizza party last night and followed this recipe and process almost 100%. The dough was super easy to work and rose beautifully with flavor off the charts. 6 tasty pies produced in ~25 mins. Thank you for simplifying things down to weekend home baker levels!
I tried using rye flour instead of white flour and I was worried that it wouldn’t rise but it turned out being the best pizza I have ever eaten! Thank you for this recipe 🙏♥️
I tried this recipe and it was phenomenal. I gave 200g of finished dough to the fam and everyone made their own special pizza. It was such fun together time. Thanks for the excellent instructions. EVERYONE loved your pizza recipe.
Just finished my first sourdough pizza w/your assistance, Patrick. Came out perfect! Man is that a tasty crust!!!! Dash of butter for the crust bites... Dude... it didn't last long. Thank you. Great recipe/instructions. Having a starter in the fridge is like having a new faithful and perpetual pet.
Lol; I feel like if you own a peel and a stone, you are probably not looking up pizza recipes on youtube! Idk why every youtuber assumes that everyone has all the fancy tools. I even use a spatula for a scraper lol
This is our go-to recipe for sourdough pizza, It’s better than many restaurants. One tip from experience, when you mix ingredients at the very start, I bring it together briefly by hand as just stirring the ingredients has left us with pockets of dry flour before
I have tried many many pizza dough recipe's and honestly this is by far the best. It takes some effort to get the sourdough starter but it is well worth it.
Thank you Patrick for another jewel! I was trying to find good recipe for sourdough pizza, even some sourdough courses didn’t show me exactly perfect no fuss pizza. Made yours last night and it was such a hit in my family!! People said the best pizza they ever had! This recipe is keeper and can’t wait to see more of your amazing sourdough creations!! Thank you!
Ok Patrick, this was beautiful! We had friends over for pizza night. They are the type of people who appreciate the care and effort it takes to make fabulous food. They were extremely impressed with the simplicity of this recipe. And the incredible flavour and texture was not lost on them. Of course I sent them home with sour dough starter.😋 Thank you for your recipes!
Stellar baker! I appreciate how passionate he is for homemade pizza. I usually prep my dough early in the morning, 65% water, knead for 10 minutes, let it rise in a cold oven for 10 hours under a wet towel, and bake on a pizza stone on the upper shelf. I still get beautiful charring from the sugar and olive oil, obviously no Neapolitan leoparding at home, but hey... homemade pizza!
If your oven goes to 550 or so (F), try cooking it higher in the oven at that temp on the stone for about 5 minutes. (Not in the middle of the oven) Then turn on the broiler for 2 minutes after the 5 minutes is up. You'll get your leoparding at home. Promise. Good luck!
Tried this recipe today (mixed the dough yesterday and baked today) and it was awesome! I only had to make a small adjustment: my baking tray wasn't hot enough to give it that nice char on the bottom for the 4-5 minutes it has to go in the oven so for the second pizza I placed the dough disc in a hot non stick pan first for 1-2 minutes while I spread the toppings, then put it in the oven for 4 minutes. It was absolutely perfect! Definitely saving down this sourdough pizza recipe. I looked at several on youtube and this is by far the easiest and less time consuming. Considering how amazing the result was, in flavour and texture, I have decided I have found the perfect recipe for me and have no need to try anything different in the future.
Hi Patrick - Your videos are a work of art! You’ve pared down all the chat and instruction to the essentials, demo’d the stages clearly, sprinkled in a bit of humour, kept the music low and, hey presto, your recipes work! Added to that, you remind me of my 3 Irish grandsons - all of them good cooks. Perfect mix 😊
I made these Friday night and everyone's pizza turned out perfectly. Thank you for teaching me how to make a pizza that tastes better than delivery! My whole family was pleased.
I used this recipe as a guideline for 3 medium sourdough pizzas and it's excellent. Thanks for this gem of a cooking video. It inspired me to make sourdough pizzas for the past 3 years every Friday night. 🍕😁
I made this tonight and I have to say it's part of the top 10 pizzas I've ever eaten in my life! Made one with homemade tomato base, buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto and fresh basil. Hmmm hmmmm! Thanks for this easy, yet super delicious recipe!
Pizza Dough Strong white flour 500g Semolina 50g Salt 10g Sourdough starter 200g Fresh yeast 1g / 1/4 tsp of dried yeast Water 325ml Olive oil 50ml Method: This is a fantastic dough to make. It combines both sourdough starter and the tiniest bit of yeast. The dough has maximum flour due to the long slow fermentation but takes no effort to bring together. Make the dough by mixing the flour with the salt, and semolina in a clean bowl. Crumble the yeast into the water and whisk so that it dissolves. Pour the water into the flour along with the olive oil and sourdough starter. Combine all the ingredients to form a rough dough. This dough requires no more than 30 seconds of kneading Place the dough into a clean bowl, cover with cling film and place into the fridge to ferment for 24 hours Take out the dough and knock it back. Divide the dough into six equal portions. Approximately 200g each. Shape into rounds. Place the dough onto a generously floured baking tray. Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and allow to prove for about 60 to 90 minutes. Preheat the oven to its highest setting. Place into the oven a large flat baking tray turned upside down and allow it to heat. You will use the surface of the baking tray to bake your pizza base. If you have a pizza stone, please feel free to use it instead. To shape the pizza base. Transfer one of the rolled dough balls to a nicely floured work counter. I suggest using a combination of flour and semolina when shaping the pizza base. Using your fingertips flatten out the dough. Gently moving the dough from one hand to another stretch and shape the dough to the desired size. Alternatively using a rolling pin is no problem, Transfer the pizza base onto a wooden chopping board dusted with semolina. The board will be used to slide the pizza base directly onto the preheated baking tray/pizza stone in your oven. Cover the surface of the pizza base with tomato sauce and top the pizza base with your chosen toppings. When ready to bake, place the pizza directly onto the pizza stone by sliding the pizza base from the floured tray onto the pizza stone. Bake for about 4 and half to 5 minutes.

Your sourdough bread recipe was the one that worked the best and this pizza recipe is the one I come back to every time I make pizza for my family . Great work , keep it up ! Thank you and God bless you !
Patrick, your pizza dough has become my favorite. It is the easiest dough to prepare, and the easiest to stretch into pizza. My husband likes his pizza's thin and crisp around the edge and using your recipe, I managed to achieve both. Thank you for sharing.
Brilliant teacher, thank you! I followed this recipe but only fermented it at room temperature for around 8 hrs and it worked out brilliantly! Thank you!
Hi Patrick. I’ve tried to make this pizza; meanwhile it was the first time in my life to bake it. Anyways the first 24 hr nothing happened to the dough. So, I’ve cheated little bit and add some more fresh yeast and waited another 24 hours. Oh boy the dough turned out to be very nice and I’ve made my first pizza. I’d like to thank you. Great teacher.
I trust this man with my life, after years of making horrible dough, this is legit, the 24 fridge proofing and then letting the balls rise, times may vary just make sure those dough balls have doubled or slightly less than doubled. Perfect crust, cooked on a big green egg at 800 degrees on a stone.
Well Patrick you started me on my sourdough journey, a few failures but I think they are needed to get you over the hurdle of this process, absolutely no fuss just straight into it, turning out some lovely loaves now some good some not so good but quite a lot to learn I have now made quite a few times sourdough pizza and they are by far the best of all the pizza dough I have made , yea a bit longer to make but superb, thank for keeping me sane during lockdown and sharing your knowledge, top class fella
Love this recipe... but honestly what I focused on more was the design of the oven door. All oven doors should be this way. 😍 I love listening to your beautiful accent and watching your instructional videos.
Just followed this recipe to the letter and I have to say it was excellent. Previously I have made.the base in the bread machine which is ok but this recipe take tast to a other level and it's very easy. MANY Thanks
I watched a lot of videos for pizza dough. This one was great because of the additional explanations for some details such as the heating techniques. Very helpful for understanding!
I love that Patrick says it is simple then I try and do it and I am cursing like a Dublin native wondering why is it so Not simple! Haha. But I could watch him all day. 💕
Tried this, but since it's very hard to get semolina nowadays, I only used bread flour and ended up with a very bready American pizza style. I tried making pizza with my leftover sourdough bread dough from Patrick's recipe though, and it turned out great! Very thin and crispy, great texture like how you'd want in a pizza (I used rice flour to flour the surface to substitute semolina)
What an amazing pizza dough for minimal effort!! Love it. Used dried yeast along with the starter instead of fresh. It failed the first time as i put it straight in the fridge. The second attempt i gave the mix an hour at room temp before putting it in the fridge to activate the dried yeast and the results were fantastic!!
You've really upped my pizza game! Last night's dinner was a hit, even with my 18 month old (and that's saying something). Cant wait to play with more of your recipes. Thanks for the great lessons!
Hi Patrick, I have been doing pizza for years and was always afraid to not use my pizza trays. After watching your video I am very much inspired to give your version a try. Thank you for explaining everything so very well.
YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!! I’m so happy for this video!! I’ve been unsuccessfully searching for a sourdough pizza recipe, but no more! I’ve been making bread from Patrick’s videos for months now and LOVE the results! Now a pizza recipe, too 😍😍! Yay!
This recipe is amazing! I've become a Patrick Ryan fan over this journey of sour dough during quarantine. Your videos and Patrick's great instructions are so encouraging and helpful! I made it a couple of weeks ago and it was the best crust ever. And so easy! We've made our own dough with yeast many a times before, but this one is far superior! Thank you, Patrick and Ilovecooking!
I learnt how to make pizza dough wayyyy back in the 80's from my mother in law. There wasn't anything like a starter that I'd heard of back then. She'd mix it up with yeast. A few proofings in warm places. I never had that great tasting dough ever again. Thanks to your tutorial, I now have my starter. I can experiment with a variety of things.
Thanks for the video! Pizza was great. Didn't invert the roasting tray. Worked fine as the oven was preheated long enough. And it caught all the excess flour falling to the bottom. Less cleaning afterwards.
I never wanted to make pizza before I started sourdough. This week I made my first batch and I’m thrilled! You’ve got some really great tips though and I’m excited to use them. I struggled mightily with the lack of a peel, but your idea is stellar and I can’t wait to try it!
I began my sourdough journey a few weeks ago, using Patrick’s starter recipe... it is incredibly healthy and the acidity level delicious in the final product. Now, to try this for pizza!!!
Good method, easy and relaxing, thanks for this. One thing I have noticed in Naples is they put a swirl of olive oil on the pizza first, swirl it around with back of a ladle, then add the tomato sauce, seems to help the dough expand better, thus more crisp. Cheers.
This is really amazing! I somehow never thought about using a chopping board and oven tray and I wasn't willing to pay 100$ for a pizza stone. Just amazing I'm blown away and absolutely adore your videos!
First time trying this, all done and in the fridge, it’s 1:30am and I’m so looking forward to pizza tomorrow. It was a little wet when I took it out of the fridge to knock it back, the dough was 17 degrees, maybe a little to cold. Let it rest for an additional hour and a little flour got it just right… time to dream about toppings!
Very happy with this one - have been making sourdough successfully after doing the Uprising Bakery’s Class in Newcastle course here , but hadn’t cracked a good Pizza Dough until this one - done it a few times now , every time great result ... only difference for here now ... it’s winter so it’s 18degrees C , I leave the dough out for an hour before I put it in the fridge and as Patrick says bring it out an hour and a half before , maybe a bit more - we used an old bbq plate in the oven - easy to find in oz - Thanks very much !
So ready to make this! .... yum! I also just fed my sourdough starter.. and will build the dough in the morning after she is alive and bubbly. Thanks Patrick :)
Learned how to make Sourdough watching this guy, love it every weekend. Used this pizza dough recipe, so easy and incredibly tasty... so good. Thank you
I experimented and froze the dough at the shaped point (after the 24 hour prooving) putting each piece on a floured square of parchment and floured the tops of each piece. I open froze them first in the freezer drawer and then put them all in a bag together for when I want to use them. They defrost pretty quickly and make the process less intensive, I only usually want to make a couple at a time so freezing a batch makes life easy. My youngest son said that they are the best pizzas he has ever had! ( and he's an expert!) I now want a pizza stone and a paddle thing, currently use an upturned grill pan and bread board.

This was with a white flour starter.
I use to work with Patrick at Dominos here in Ireland. Good to see he's still making pizza.
NO WAY
I've tried scores of pizza dough. This one by Patrick Ryan is by far the best! Thank you, Patrick!
This one goes into my permanent recipe book. Tried 3 times already with 100% success. After roasting and cooling I put each one in a plastic bag and freeze. Now pizza whenever I want!

This isn't just cooking: this is art!
Thank you so much for all the advice, Patrick
Pizza and Patrick Ryan is ones of the best combos possible on this channel!

I tried using rye flour instead of white flour and I was worried that it wouldn’t rise but it turned out being the best pizza I have ever eaten! Thank you for this recipe 🙏♥️
I especially appreciate the tips for what to use instead of a peel and stone! Thank you, Patrick!
You are a great teacher Patrick!

Brillant
Just finished my first sourdough pizza w/your assistance, Patrick. Came out perfect! Man is that a tasty crust!!!!
Dash of butter for the crust bites... Dude... it didn't last long. Thank you. Great recipe/instructions.
Having a starter in the fridge is like having a new faithful and perpetual pet.
It's friggin' delicious, isn't it?! Just the right amount of chewiness and such great flavour :D
Patrick Ryan is an amazing baker. Id love to go on his course some day.
He's really fantastic.
You're making it hard to fast. Covid put 30 lbs on me. Fun to watch. I'm smelling the phone. Lol 😂
Thank you for showing this without using a peel or a stone
Lol; I feel like if you own a peel and a stone, you are probably not looking up pizza recipes on youtube! Idk why every youtuber assumes that everyone has all the fancy tools. I even use a spatula for a scraper lol
This is our go-to recipe for sourdough pizza, It’s better than many restaurants.

Patrick Ryan is a genius - this is a brilliant and simple recipe - make it exactly as he says - it works - best pizza base ever.
I can listen to this man's voice everyday. And I just love his oven! That sliding door is awesome.
Thank you Patrick for another jewel! I was trying to find good recipe for sourdough pizza, even some sourdough courses didn’t show me exactly perfect no fuss pizza.

When you added semolina, i realized it was really serious. You are such a good teacher.
You make me think of Jacques Pépin, simple and effective.

I only had to make a small adjustment: my baking tray wasn't hot enough to give it that nice char on the bottom for the 4-5 minutes it has to go in the oven so for the second pizza I placed the dough disc in a hot non stick pan first for 1-2 minutes while I spread the toppings, then put it in the oven for 4 minutes.

Wow thank you
Awesome 👍🏼
Great thank you
Can you freeze the rest of pizza dough?if yes could you please guide me step by step? Can you use dry polenta instead of semolina?many thanks
Baby Blink thank you for the detailed recipe. I notice starter being dark; is this rye, wheat, spelt? I normally use rye for fast fermentation 😄!
Your sourdough bread recipe was the one that worked the best and this pizza recipe is the one I come back to every time I make pizza for my family . Great work , keep it up ! Thank you and God bless you !

Hi thanks for your recipe. I made the pizzas today and they were fabulous. The best. Greetings from Mexico city.
The Pizza you taught me to make was the best pizza I have ever tasted ! Cheers ! Thankyou Patrick !
What an amazing pizza dough for minimal effort!! Love it. Used dried yeast along with the starter instead of fresh. It failed the first time as i put it straight in the fridge. The second attempt i gave the mix an hour at room temp before putting it in the fridge to activate the dried yeast and the results were fantastic!!
Truly enjoyed watching your video,,excellent, great teacher, many thanks.
Excellent result when I made it
You've really upped my pizza game! Last night's dinner was a hit, even with my 18 month old (and that's saying something). Cant wait to play with more of your recipes. Thanks for the great lessons!
Does it matter what temp the water is pls ? Thank u 4 yet another fab vid . Looking forward to making this 😊
Hi Patrick, I have been doing pizza for years and was always afraid to not use my pizza trays. After watching your video I am very much inspired to give your version a try. Thank you for explaining everything so very well.
YEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!!! I’m so happy for this video!! I’ve been unsuccessfully searching for a sourdough pizza recipe, but no more! I’ve been making bread from Patrick’s videos for months now and LOVE the results! Now a pizza recipe, too 😍😍! Yay!
Great stuff. I love how simply he explains it. No fluff or over technicalities
Love this guys philosophy.
Amazing and easy to follow. i used wholemeal flour and added 75ml of water. Turned out perfectly.
This recipe is amazing! I've become a Patrick Ryan fan over this journey of sour dough during quarantine. Your videos and Patrick's great instructions are so encouraging and helpful! I made it a couple of weeks ago and it was the best crust ever. And so easy! We've made our own dough with yeast many a times before, but this one is far superior! Thank you, Patrick and Ilovecooking!
A very smart trick using oven to bake pizza. I learned from you. Thank you.
I made the pizza today Patrick, I'm so impressed it's so gorgeous and tasty.
I'm only using this recipe in future now.
Thank you so much.
I just made this. It was the best pizza that iv ever made. Will only use this pizza recipe from now on.
Been making pizza dough very similar to this for a while now. Highly recommended!! It's amazing
Really...why pick on that. Irrelevant.
I learnt how to make pizza dough wayyyy back in the 80's from my mother in law. There wasn't anything like a starter that I'd heard of back then. She'd mix it up with yeast. A few proofings in warm places. I never had that great tasting dough ever again. Thanks to your tutorial, I now have my starter. I can experiment with a variety of things.
Seriously best pizza dough!!! Thanks for the share!
Ryan, thank you for this easy to follow recipe. Pizza turned out beautifully!
I really love these videos, they’re so relaxed and informative. Thank you Patrick for this awesome show!!
Thanks for the video! Pizza was great. Didn't invert the roasting tray. Worked fine as the oven was preheated long enough. And it caught all the excess flour falling to the bottom. Less cleaning afterwards.
Best pizza dough, devoured in no time😁. Thanks so much! Has anyone tried to freeze prepared pizza dough, just ready to add toppings?
I never wanted to make pizza before I started sourdough. This week I made my first batch and I’m thrilled! You’ve got some really great tips though and I’m excited to use them. I struggled mightily with the lack of a peel, but your idea is stellar and I can’t wait to try it!
I began my sourdough journey a few weeks ago, using Patrick’s starter recipe... it is incredibly healthy and the acidity level delicious in the final product. Now, to try this for pizza!!!
I made pizza following this recipe. The pizza came out great. Thanks Patrick.
Made this for the first time yesterday, was an absolute hit! very easy and very authentic. Best pizzas I have ever made, and I've made a few!
Good method, easy and relaxing, thanks for this. One thing I have noticed in Naples is they put a swirl of olive oil on the pizza first, swirl it around with back of a ladle, then add the tomato sauce, seems to help the dough expand better, thus more crisp. Cheers.
This looks so good,,can I freeze some of the dough
This is really amazing! I somehow never thought about using a chopping board and oven tray and I wasn't willing to pay 100$ for a pizza stone. Just amazing I'm blown away and absolutely adore your videos!
First time trying this, all done and in the fridge, it’s 1:30am and I’m so looking forward to pizza tomorrow. It was a little wet when I took it out of the fridge to knock it back, the dough was 17 degrees, maybe a little to cold. Let it rest for an additional hour and a little flour got it just right… time to dream about toppings!
Tried this recipe and procedure down to the T and it came out excellent!!! Thank you!!!
I could listen to this man talk about bread and baking all day.
Very happy with this one - have been making sourdough successfully after doing the Uprising Bakery’s Class in Newcastle course here , but hadn’t cracked a good Pizza Dough until this one - done it a few times now , every time great result ... only difference for here now ... it’s winter so it’s 18degrees C , I leave the dough out for an hour before I put it in the fridge and as Patrick says bring it out an hour and a half before , maybe a bit more - we used an old bbq plate in the oven - easy to find in oz - Thanks very much !
Oh and tried wire baking rack as peal but made pizza on baking paper slides well
Is that a fingal ferguson knife? Beautiful pizza, beautiful knife :)
Love your recipes, Patrick! Can I make a fan request for a breakdown of sourdough croissants?
This is so good and easy to make. I tried it over the weekend and shared this with friends
The best and simple recipe, the taste was very great so now i always have the dough in my freezer 😍☺️ thank you patrick 🙏🏻
So ready to make this! .... yum! I also just fed my sourdough starter.. and will build the dough in the morning after she is alive and bubbly. Thanks Patrick :)
Learned how to make Sourdough watching this guy, love it every weekend. Used this pizza dough recipe, so easy and incredibly tasty... so good. Thank you
