I love the flavor of sourdough pizza crust. 00 flour is a must for the chewyness.

What are you baking that in/on? It looks like it needs more bottom heat. Agreed about sourdough crusts though.

I'm baking on a pizza stone that I preheat at the max temp my oven goes to, using the broiler for the last 5 minutes. What makes you say there's not enough bottom heat?

The base looks a little doughy to me

Damn, I need to try again on sourdough pizza crust. Last time I tried it, it wasn't worth the effort.

This has got me drooling, looks delicious. Well done indeed!

I like to do a double bake of my pizza - first bake without the toppings to make the base. Then I add toppings and bake again until the cheese melts. Don't use the broiler in my case.
