Sourdough Pizza

Ingredients:
- 1 C Sourdough Starter Discard
- 2 C ‘00’ Pizza Flour
- 1/2 - 3/4 C Warm Water
- 1 tsp. Instant Yeast
- 2 T Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 T Salt
- 2 T Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Toppings:
- 1 C Pizza Sauce
- 4-5 C Mozzarella Cheese
Directions:
- Use stand mixer fitted with dough hook attachment. In bowl, combine sourdough discard, flour, ½ cup water, instant yeast, sugar, salt and oil.
- Mix at medium speed until ball forms. If dough is loose and shaggy, add more flour; alternatively, if dough is too dry, add 1 tablespoon of water at a time until ball forms.
- Continue to knead dough until smooth and glossy, about 4-8 minutes. If dough passes the windowpane, test it is ready. (Windowpane is achieved when a piece of dough is stretched without ripping to the point that light can filter through.)
- Place dough in a greased bowl and cover with damp cloth.
- Allow to rest and rise until it has doubled in size, 1-3 hours.
- Place pizza stone or inverted baking sheet into oven. Preheat oven to 500°
- Separate dough into two balls. Dust a clean work surface with flour. (Pro Tip: rub a teaspoon of olive oil on your hands to prevent sticking) Starting in center, use your fingertips to push dough out into a 12-inch round circle leaving iconic pizza crust edge.
- Dust cornmeal onto pizza peel. Transfer dough onto pizza peel.
- Add sauce, cheese and desired toppings.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on top of preheated pizza stone.
- Gently shake pizza peel back and forth to transfer raw pizza onto pizza stone in oven.
- Bake until edges are golden brown and cheese is melted. 8-10 minutes.
- Repeat steps for second dough ball.
- Allow to slightly cool before cutting pizza. Enjoy!
