Recipe by Busters friend

Came up with this to handle some of the surfeit of an especially good potato-based sourdough starter. Rises beautifully & yields 2 large chewy blistered crusts to fire up on your favorite pizza stone/unglazed piece of terra cotta tile. Our current favs are Italian sausage, sweet yellow onion & fresh torn basil. Eagerly awaiting our tomato crop so we can be making Pizza Marguerite entirely out of the garden!

DIRECTIONS

Load bread machine according to manufacturer's instructions. Watch when it starts the kneading cycle & adjust dough consistency with either a bit of flour or water as sourdough starters vary in thickness. Goal is an elastic somewhat soft but not at all sticky dough (a little softer than a baby's behind LOL).
Once dough cycle completed, roughly knead & then dump dough into an oiled bowl & let rise 2nd time, either room temp or in fridge(for use the next day).
Knock down after 2nd rise & divide into 2 pieces. Shape your pies (dusting your work area with semolina flour) and add your favorite sauces & toppings. Bake on preheated stone at 475 degrees F for 14 - 16 minutes.
Oiled dough can also be divided & frozen in freezer bags with the air expressed. If freezing, remove from freezer & allow to thaw, do 2nd rise & use for pie.
