Ingredients
  

For the Crust

  • 1 cup unfed gluten free sourdough starter
  • ½ cup lukewarm water
  • 2 ½ cups gluten free 1:1 flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast

For the Sauce

  • 1 can plain tomato sauce no spices, etc added
  • 1 can fire roasted diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup fresh basil
  • 1-2 tablespoon oregano
  • 1 tablespoon thyme
  • salt + pepper to taste
  • optional: 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

For the Crust:

  • Stir any liquid on top of your starter back into it before measuring out 1 cup.
  • Add starter, water, flour, salt, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and mix on low using a dough hook, about 7 minutes. You could also knead by hand if you do not have a mixer.
  • Place the dough into a pre-greased bowl (I just used an olive oil spray) cover with a kitchen towel and allow dough to rise in a warm place until about doubled in bulk. This took about 2-3 hours for me and will depend on how active your discard is.
  • For a thin crust pizza, divide dough ball in half to make 2 12" pizzas or use the original dough ball to make one 14" thick crust pizza. I've tried it both ways and the thin crust is my favorite!
  • Pre-heat oven to 450 while you work the pizza dough.
  • If you have one, use a cast iron pizza pan coated with a little cornmeal for crispiest results. If not, grease a cookie sheet or pizza pan and work dough into a circle (or rectangle if using a cookie sheet)
  • Drizzle the dough with garlic infused olive oil and spread with a spoon, adding sauce next.
  • Bake the dough for about 10 minutes prior to adding toppings, then bake again another 10-12 minutes until cheese is fully melted and crust is beginning to reach a golden brown.

For the Sauce:

  • Add all ingredients to a high speed blender, reserving about ¼ cup fire roasted tomatoes. Pulse until basil is chopped, then stir in reserved fire roasted tomato if you like a chunkier sauce.
