Pizza Sour-Dough




Source of Recipe


Internet


List of Ingredients




1-1/2 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F)
4 cups to 4-1/2 cups bread flour, unsifted
1/2 cup sourdough starter batter at room temperature
1 pkg. active dry yeast
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried basil or oregano
2 salt
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
2 - 14 inch diameter pizza pans


Recipe



In a large mixing bowl, combine water, sourdough starter, dry yeast and 2 cups of the flour. Mix well and cover with clear plastic wrap and let stand in a warm place (85 degrees F) 1/2 to 1 hour.

Stir in salt, sugar, garlic powder, dried basil or oregano, olive oil, and enough of the remaining flour (about 2 cups) to form a smooth and elastic dough. Knead until smooth. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (2 to 2-1/2 hours).

Punch down and place the pizza dough onto a lightly floured bread board or kitchen counter. Divide the pizza dough in half, cover and let them rest for 10 minutes. Form the first half of the dough into a 14 inch diameter pizza pan. Repeat the process with rest of the dough batch. This recipe will make 2 - 14 inch diameter pizza crusts. For a thicker crust, let the pizza dough rise about 30 minutes, covered, before adding toppings and baking it in the oven on 425 for 20 minutes.
