Sourdough Pizza
Description
Delicious baked goods for the whole family. I use wheat sourdough starter at peak activity, and I often bake pizza with wheat flour using rye sourdough starter at peak activity — that turns out great too. This amount of ingredients is enough to make one pizza about 34 cm in diameter.
