Servings: 20 slices

Course: dinner

Cuisine: Italian

1/2 cup sourdough starter active or discard
1 1/4 cup water
1 tsp salt
2 tsp avocado or olive oil
3 1/4 cup freshly milled flour about 2 cups + 3 tbsp soft or hard wheat berries or a mix of the two
1 tbsp bacon grease or avocado/oil olive for greasing baking sheet

To begin, whisk together starter, water, oil, and salt in a large mixing bowl or standing mixer with a dough hook attachment or with a dough whisk. Combine ingredients well.
Next, add in flour 1/2 cup at a time. Mix as best you can until the dough becomes too thick. Then use your hands to continue combining all the ingredients together into one large dough ball. T
Now leave the dough in the large mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and allow the dough to sit at room temperature for at least 2 hours. Anything up to 8 hours is fine.
When you are ready to use the dough, use bacon grease or avocado or olive oil to grease the baking sheet. For this recipe, we like to use this pan as it makes the crust not too thick, not too thin (pan is 15.8 x 12 x 1 inch).
Using your hands, gently stretch the dough ball out into a rectangle shape without tearing the dough.
Place the rectangle pizza dough on the greased baking sheet and gently manipulate the dough to the edges and corners of the baking sheet.
Now you're ready to create a homemade pizza to your liking. If using pre-cooked ingredients or toppings, once the pizza is topped with sauce, toppings, and cheese, bake the pizza.
Bake in a preheated over at 425 degrees Farenheit for 25 minutes.
