Ingredients
Scale
For the crust:
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 4 oz. whole wheat “discard” sourdough starter
- 2 1/2 – 3 cups white whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
To top each pizza:
- About 2/3 – 1 cup pizza or marinara sauce (I used my vodka sauce, sans cream)
- Shredded Italian cheese (a blend or mozzarella)
- Other toppings, as desired (Today I used fresh spinach, thin sliced vidalia onion, crumbled chorizo, fresh basil)
Instructions
- Mix all the dough ingredients together using your stand mixer for 3 – 5 minutes until it forms into a nice dough and cleans the bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (an hour or two).
- Preheat the oven to 500 F. and move the rack up towards the top. Brush or spray your pizza pan(s) lightly with oil.
- Cut the dough in two or three equal pieces (depending on how big your pizza pans are). Dust a clean surface with cornmeal, then roll out each piece of dough into a very thin circle, large enough to fit in your pizza pan. (Half the dough fit my large 14-inch pan perfectly.) Carefully move the dough to the pan and press with your fingers to evenly spread it out if there are any folds or empty spots.
- Brush the outer edge of the dough with olive oil, then spread the sauce out over the crust, sprinkle lightly with cheese, add toppings, then more cheese.
- Bake at 500 F. for about 10 – 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly and browned in spots, turning the pizza if it’s getting too browned on one side. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
If you don’t have a stand mixer, you can use a bread machine to mix up the dough or you can mix and knead it by hand.
You can save some of the dough for later by wrapping in plastic wrap and storing in the fridge for up to 3 days.
