Any Opinion About Using This Sourdough Yeast For Pizza Crust?

Weird color/pattern match with your counter top.

I would think it's a good match because the sourdough is likely to rise/fall multiple times over the development to help with digesting it easier. Sourdough can be chewy so that would be my own concern.

Is that product just a dried starter? Kinda weird but pizza dough can be made with SD for sure. Try it and report back.

The back of the pack says to substitute this pack (.63 oz) for a .25 oz pack of yeast. I’ll give it a shot and report back.

Should be fine.

The ingredients listed on the back label in your pic looks like there are some conditioners and emulsifiers which will probably make a really nice pizza dough.

Personally, I'd just go with a prefermented straight dough rather than whatever is in that package. But if it's for a simple family dinner and not a large gathering, you could just go for it. I'm not sure how much flavor that's really going to impart in the end.

Turned out great! Super crispy on the bottom, but still tender. Just a hint of sourdough flavor. Will use again.

I did it on my Big Green Egg. Stone temp was 600-625 degrees. Took about 8 minutes per pizza.

Note: I use 00 flour. Most other flours would burn quickly at that temp.

Using 00 flour doesn’t keep it from burning, adding fat to your dough does. I’ve made high temp pizzas using AP and they turned out fine.

pizza in hight temp ovens need to be made with low or no added sugar
1 percent max based on flour weight
basically no difference in carbs between AP, Bread, and 00 so browning is same or similar.
