Sourdough Pizza
Tonight I tried using my starter to make a sourdough pizza:
It turned out very good. I was afraid it would be too sour, but the sourness was totally overpowered by the tomato and garlic sauce.
I used something in the ballpark of:
1 cup starter
2 cups bread flour
1 cup water
2 teaspoons salt
I had a bit of extra dough so I made breadsticks too, which are in the foreground.
Is it a new trend to make sourdough pizza?
LOL. Not that I know of, I just needed to refresh my starter and was trying to think of something to do with it this weekend.
Maybe I am on to the "next big thing"... ;-)
before commercial yeast - for many centuries. I think it is a re-discovery of an 'ancient' 'next big thing :-)
Nice Pizza and sticks Floyd
floyd,
After you mixed the above recipe, how did you treat it? Did you proceed as in the recipe in the "--Primer"?
