Pizza with Hybrid Dough

By March 11, 2017

As the name says.... It's a hybrid variety which means the dough is made of two completely different things and in this case it's commercial yeast and a sourdough starter. Stoked??? Don't be....it's a sure winner.
My family has totally approved this pizza as the bestest one so far. Anything approved my boys has no turning back, as they are as choosy and picky as possible. Thick or thin, either ways it's full of flavor and totally amazing. This dough is very wet but it can be easily worked through. Topped with anything of your liking, it's a bang on.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl add all the above ingredients. Mix well till you get very wet dough. Transfer it to a lightly dusted work table and knead it for 10 to 12 minutes, or 7 minutes at medium speed in a stand mixer.
    Place the kneaded dough onto a lightly greased container, and allow it to rise till it's just about doubled in bulk. This might take 1.5 to 2 hours. To accelerate the rise, place the dough in a warm place like inside an oven. For a slower fermentation, you and do the rise in a refrigerator. Slow fermentation imparts fabulous flavor.
    After the first rise, divide the dough in half, shaping each half into a flattened disk. Take two ,10” to 12" round pizza pans or round plates, grease with olive oil. Place half the dough in each pan. Cover with a greased cling foil and let it rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
    To shape the pizza base, gently press the dough towards the edges of the pans from the center; if it starts to shrink back, once again cover it, and let it rest for another 15 to 20 minutes. Continue the process till the dough is spread to the edges of the pans.
    Cover the ready pizza base and let it rise for another 20 minutes.
    Towards the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 230 C.
    Brush the pizza base generously with olive oil. Spread the pizza sauce and your favorite toppings, followed by cheese and olives. Bake till toppings are hot and the cheese is completely melted and bubbly which will take around 12 to 15 minutes. This can vary with oven brands so keep an eye open. Remove from the oven, and loosen the edges of the pizza with a table knife/spatula. Let it rest on a cooling rack or serving plate for few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite fresh salad.
    The smell wafting thru the whole cook is amazing and I'm literally drooling as I pen this down. ????????
    A must try. I know some of you have a lil starting trouble to do breads or bakes with sourdough but trust me, you will not be able to stop once you start. It's that good.
