Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups Sourdough starter
• 1 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 cups Crushed tomatoes
• 2 cups Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 20 pieces Pepperoni slices
• 0.25 cups Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sourdough starter, water, olive oil, salt, and sugar. Mix until a sticky dough forms.

Step 2

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise at room temperature for 2-3 hours until it doubles in size.

Step 3

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking stone or heavy baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 4

Punch down the risen dough and divide it into four equal portions. Roll each portion into a ball and let them rest for 15 minutes under a clean cloth.

Step 5

On a floured surface, stretch one dough ball into a circular shape about ¼-inch thick. Be playful and create intentional air bubbles in the dough as you stretch it—this will add character to your 'Bubble Za'.

Step 6

Transfer the shaped dough onto parchment paper. Spread 3-4 tablespoons of crushed tomatoes evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle ½ cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by 5 slices of pepperoni and a pinch of dried oregano.

Step 8

Slide the prepared pizza (with parchment) onto the preheated baking stone or sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbly, and the cheese is melted and slightly browned.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Top with a few fresh basil leaves for garnish.

Step 10

Repeat the process with the remaining dough and toppings.

Step 11

Slice your Bubble Za and serve warm. Enjoy the chewy, bubbly crust with your favorite toppings!
