    • 1 1\/2<\/span> cups<\/span> white flour<\/span> I use bread flour if I have it, but all purpose will do in a pinch<\/span><\/li>
    • 1<\/span> teaspoon<\/span> salt<\/span><\/li>
    • 1 or2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> water<\/span><\/li>
    • 2<\/span> tablespoons<\/span> olive oil<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n

      Instructions<\/h3>

      Feed the sourdough starter.<\/h4>
      • Feed your sourdough the first thing on the morning you want pizza.  You’ll have do do it the night before for a lunchtime pizza.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Pull out a cup or so of sourdough starter from your fridge.  <\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Put the sourdough starter in a large glass (or plastic) bowl.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Add the flour and water and stir it into a smooth batter.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
      • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit in a warm place for at least 4 or 5 hours (overnight if you are making a lunch pizza). 
        <\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>

        Make the dough<\/h4>
        • Start making the dough about 4 hours before you want your pizza.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Pull 1 1\/2 cups of fed sourdough starter from the large bowl and put it in another large bowl. Put the remaining starter in a plastic container and store it in the fridge. This will be the starter for future recipes.
          <\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Add the flour and salt to the starter and mix it with your hands until smooth.  If it seems too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.  This is a judgement call – you’ll figure out what works for you based on the thickness of your starter and practice.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Add the olive oil.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Kneed with your hands (in the bowl) for about 10 to 15 minutes.  It will start out as a sloppy, oily mess, but will become a smooth dough in a few minutes.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Split the dough into 2 equally sized pieces.  <\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Put each piece into a small bowl and cover with plastic wrap. <\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Let the dough rise for about 3 hours.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Sprinkle some flour (and corn meal if you want) on your working surface and roll each piece into a circle about 12 inches in diameter.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Let the dough sit as you heat your oven or grill<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Put your pizza stone into your oven or grill prior to heating.  Heat to about 500 \u00baF.  The hotter the better.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • When your grill or oven is ready, prepare your first pizza.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Brush the dough with olive oil, then add the sauce, cheese, and toppings that you want.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza to the pizza stone in the hot grill or oven and cook for about 8 minutes.  Time will vary depending on how hot you can get your grill and the thickness of the dough – so check occasionally.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Use a pizza peel to take the pizza off of the stone.<\/span><\/div><\/li>
        • Prepare and bake the second pizza while you have a piece of the first.<\/span><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\n
