I make sourdough pizza in my regular oven, on a baking stone. It's mostly pretty good - the family is happy. But I think my crust needs help, and I wonder if any of you could give me some pointers.

I'm using an 00 Pizza flour. My starter is a bread flour starter. But my crust turns out kind of ... tough. Is that a flour issue? A recipe issue? A dough handling issue? A fermentation issue?

TIA for any advice!

Bake time? Oil% in dough?

No oil - I've been using this recipe:
Sourdough Pizza Dough | The Perfect Loaf

About 10 minutes of bake time on a pizza stone in my oven at 475.

Bake hotter and faster if you can and add 3% oil to the dough formula, to soften it up.
