Ingredients
- 1 cup Full-Fat Small-Curd Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Sourdough Discard
- 2 1/4 cups Bread Flour
- 1 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
Equipment
- blender
Instructions
- Blend the cottage cheese until creamy. Stir it together with the sourdough discard, instant yeast, and honey.
- Add the bread flour and salt, then mix until no dry flour remains. Cover the rough dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
- Knead the dough for 6 to 7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Work in the olive oil during the final minute of kneading.
- Place the dough in a covered bowl and let it rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes, until visibly puffy and nearly doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 475 F with a baking sheet inside. Shape the dough into a 13-inch circle on parchment paper and let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Transfer the dough and parchment to the hot baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes, until the surface is set and small golden spots appear.
- Add pizza toppings to the partially baked crust. Return it to the oven for 7 to 10 minutes, until the edge is browned and the bottom is crisp.
