For Pizza DoughIn a small mixer with a dough hook, or by hand with a strong spoon in a bowl, combine the water and salt and mix on low speed or stir for 1 minute. Then add half the flour and mix on low/stir for 2 minutes. Add the sour starter and mix on low/stir for 2 minutes; then add the rest of the flour and mix on low/stir for 13 minutes. If using mixer, scrape sides of bowl every 3 minutes. Place dough in a very large plastic container with lid for 6 hours at room temperature (dough will expand up to 9 times its original size, so make sure you have plenty of room). After 6 hours, portion the dough into 4 equal balls and allow to rest for another 2 hours covered at room temperature. |

To Completeut your stone in the oven and set the temperature to 500°F. Allow stone to heat with oven for 40 minutes. While stone is heating up, using a basic rolling pin, roll one ball of dough out to 1⁄16 of an inch. Will says, “ … the thinner the better in my opinion.” After the dough is rolled out, place it on an upside-down cookie tray that has a touch of cornmeal spread on it. Top with buffalo mozzarella, San Marzano tomatoes, and basil. After you put the topping on evenly (remember, less is more), you will slide the pizza from the upside-down cookie tray onto the stone. Cook until pizza is golden brown, about 17 to 20 minutes. When your pizza is cooking, look for even browning because it might need to be rotated once. Remember that cornmeal makes an interesting change and adds crispness to the bottom of the pizza! Enjoy! |
