- 400 grams hard white wheat berries, (freshly milled in a grain mill)
- 12 grams salt
Chunky Tomato Sauce:
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 4-5 cloves garlic
- 2 oz tomato paste
- 28 oz crushed tomatoes
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 2 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 2 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar

Toppings:
- 14 oz mozzarella cheese, (shredded)
- 4 oz pepperoni slices
Instructions
Directions:
- Combine the active starter, water, and freshly milled flour in a medium mixing bowl. Cover and let it sit for 30 minutes.
- Add the salt and mix it well with your hands. Cover the dough and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
- Do four stretch-and-folds every 30 minutes.
- Allow the dough to rest for 2-3 hours to bulk ferment, or refrigerate it if you are baking it for another day.
- Grease an 18x13 sheet pan with 1/2 cup of oil. Place the dough on the pan and allow it to rest for 30 minutes. Then, stretch out and dimple the dough. Allow it to rise for up to 1-2 hours.
- Meanwhile, make the tomato sauce. Top the crust with 2 cups of sauce, 14 oz of cheese, and 4 oz of pepperoni.
- Bake in a preheated 400°F for 25-30 minutes. Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- If you don't have crushed tomatoes, you can puree or pulse a 28-ounce can of diced tomatoes.
