    Add flour, cornmeal, sourdough discard, oil, and salt to the yeast mixture; beat until combined

    The dough will still be a little sticky, Pull out 1 serving of dough mine weighted approx. 320g

    Top the pizza with sauce and toppings
    7. Task 7

    Bake in the preheated 450 oven until golden brown, approx. 18 minutes.

    if not golden brown after 18 minutes set the oven to broil and watch until the top is done.  

Note

I take 130-gram ball and freeze them. They are perfect for individual pizzas. Thaw then stretch to circle and bake at 450 degrees for 18 minutes
