Kids don't say, Wait. They say, Wait up, hey wait up! Because when you're little, your life is up. Thu future is up. Everything you want is up. Hold up. Shut up! Mum, I'll clean up. Let me stay up! Parents, of course, are just the opposite. Everything is down. Just calm down. Slow down. Come down here! Sit down. Put... that... down. - Jerry Seinfeld, I'm Telling You For The Last Time

Sourdough Pizza by Ken Forkish

Yields: 2 dough balls for two 11-inch pizzas

Step 1: The Levain Starter (do this the night before pizza day)

Ingredients:

66 grams of water at 100 degrees fahrenheit
33 grams of sour dough starter
66 grams of double-zero flour

- Measure the 66 grams of 100 degree water into a plastic container that has a lid.

- Add the sour dough starter and mix by hand.

- Add the flour and mix by hand.

- Put the plastic lid on the container and leave out at room temperature.

- 10-12 hours later (the next morning) the levain starter should be bubbly and goopy and lively.

Step 2: The Dough (do this the morning of pizza day)

Ingredients:

148 grams water at 90-95 degrees fahrenheit
9 grams of sea salt
All of the Levain starter from above
248 grams of double-zero flour
Olive oil

- Measure the 148 grams of water at 90-95 degrees fahrenheit into a dough tub (bowl).

- Add the 9 grams of seat salt and swirl around to dissolve

- Add in all of the levain starter and blend it by hand using a pincer motion (squeeze your fingers together)

- Add the flour. Mix by hand into a single mass of dough.

- Use the pincer method again, alternating it with folding the dough to develop it back into a unified mass. Do this for 30-60 seconds.

- Let the dough rest, covered with anything you want, for 20 minutes

- Knead the dough for 30 seconds to a minute

- Place the dough in an oiled tub (the olive oil), covered with anything you want, for 3 hours

- Shape the dough into 2 dough balls and place on a floured board. Sprinkle with flour on top and cover the dough balls with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature for about 5 hours.
