First true Sourdough, no commercial yeast added

I started with King Arthur Baking's Sourdough Discard Pizza and modified as follows:

First, I doubled it to get the amount of dough I needed. Then, I cut the starter roughly in half using an active, fed starter and adjusted the flour/water content from there. I also subbed 20% rye flour.

Ingredients:

  • 230 g Active, fed Sourdough Starter
    • 115 g water
    • 92 g AP Flour
    • 23 g Dark Rye Flour
  • 720 g Flour
    • 140 g Dark Rye
    • 580 g AP
  • 400 g Water
  • 12 g salt

Percentages

  • 80% AP Flour
  • 20% Rye Flour
  • 61.5% Water
  • 1.4% Salt

Steps

  • Feed Starter until you have 230 g + however much your standby is. Wait until starter doubles in size
  • Whisk starter and water together until well mixed
  • Add flour mix, and salt.
  • Knead in electric mixer until everything comes together. Add a bit more water if it seems dry
  • Separate out approx 330 g of dough. Form two dough balls, one small, one large. Place the small dough ball on a small sheet pan and cover, place the large dough ball into a 2 quart proofing bowl and cover. Set the small sheet pan on top of the proofing bowl and place both in a warm location.
  • once the large dough ball has increased in size by about 75%, place the small dough ball into the fridge until ready to use. Punch down the large dough ball, shape into a log, and place into 9×5 cast iron Dutch-oven style loaf pan and cover.
  • preheat the oven to 350. once the loaf has expanded in size and is just above the rim of the loaf pan, bake covered for 20 minutes.
  • remove lid and bake for an additional 20 minutes.
  • remove loaf from pan, brush with an egg wash, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes. Remove and place on a wire rack to cool.
  • once loaf is done, preheat your oven as hot as it will go, or use a pizza oven at your preferred settings.
  • Stretch out pizza dough to 12 inches. Top as desired, I went with pepperoni, spinach and Swiss chard
  • Bake until desired doneness, for me that was about 6.5 minutes in a 550° pizza oven
  • Enjoy
