Receta de pizza fácil con masa madre

Ingredientes

• 3/4 cup sourdough discard
• 3/4 cup lukewarm water (95F / 35C)*
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2-3/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups all purpose flour (divided)

Preparación

1. 1

   In the stand up mixer add the starter, water, oil and salt, mix with the flat spatula, then add 2¾ cups flour (the rest will be added if needed), start to knead with the dough hook for 7 minutes. If the dough is still wet when the kneading is almost done, then with a spatula bring the dough together and if necessary add the remaining flour (¼ cup / 30 grams) one tablespoon at a time and continue kneading. It should be a soft slightly sticky dough. Move the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and knead into a ball. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat the dough, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft free area for 3-4 hours.

2. 2

   Remove the dough to a lightly floured flat surface and punch it down 4-5 times. Place the dough on a cookie sheet or pizza pan cover with a clean tea towel and let rest for 20 minutes.

3. 3

   Pre-heat oven to 425F (220C). If using a pizza stone then place in oven to pre-heat.

4. 4

   Then form the dough into desired shape, or even two pizzas if you prefer thin crust pizza. Top with your favourite toppings including the cheese and bake for approximately 15-25 minutes or until done. Enjoy!

5. 5

   *You can bake the pizza for about 15-20 minutes then add the cheese and continue to bake for another 3-4 minutes.
