Ingredients
  

For the Dough
  • 1 cup sourdough starter, unfed/discard (227g)
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons to 3/4 cup water, lukewarm (141g to 170g)
  • 2 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour (300g)
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast or active dry yeast
  • 4 teaspoons King Arthur Pizza Dough Flavor optional but delicious

Equipment

  • King Arthur Pizza Pan
  • French Sourdough Starter
  • Professional Pastry Brush
  • Large Cooling Rack

Method
 

  1. Stir any liquid on top of your refrigerated starter back into it before measuring 1 cup (227g) into a large mixing bowl. Note: This is a good opportunity to feed the remainder of your starter, if necessary.
  2. To make the dough: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. In your large mixing bowl or bowl of your stand mixer, combine the lesser amount of water, the flour, salt, yeast, and Pizza Dough Flavor with the sourdough starter.
