I tried your pizza recipe. Winter here (just over 100F ATM -
bit hot for the season).
Wasn't sure how much salt to use, so I guessed. Rise was OK,
but not as "sourdough" tasting as mine. I prefer it with a hint of
sour. But made 2 better than retail pizzas.
So when I'm in a hurry, I'll use your recipe. From starter
(woke it up the night before) to oven was 1 hour.
