Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups of bread flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. In another bowl, mix 1 cup of sourdough starter with 1 ½ cups of warm water until smooth. Gradually combine the wet mixture with the dry ingredients, stirring until a rough dough forms.
- Transfer the rough dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Shape it into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rest at room temperature for 4–6 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Flour your work surface and roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread a layer of pizza sauce, leaving a 1-inch border. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and sliced pepperoni, then roll the dough tightly from the long edge, pinching the seam to seal.
- Place the rolled dough seam side down on a parchment-lined baking tray. Make diagonal slashes on the top, leaving about ½ inch uncut. Gently pull apart the slices to reveal the filling. Cover and let it rise for an additional 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with herbs. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until golden brown and hollow when tapped.
- Once baked, remove from the oven and transfer onto a wire rack. Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
