Ingredients

  • Dough
  • 1-1/2 cups sourdough starter
  • 3-1/2 to 4 cups bread flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water (100? to 110F)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Onion-Tomato Topping
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 medium (about 3 cups ) yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sweet basil
  • 1 teaspoon leaf thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black medium grind pepper
  • 1/3 cup well drained, oil packed sundried tomatoes

Directions

  1. Stir sourdough starter before measuring. Measure out 1-1/2 cups starter and bring to room temperature.
  2. Combine 2 cups flour and salt in a large mixer bowl. Gradually add water, olive oil and starter to flour mixture. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of electric mixer, scraping bowl occasionally. Beat 2 minutes at high speed. Stir in enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 8 to 10 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
  3. Roll dough to fit the bottom of lightly greased 15 x 10 inch jelly roll pan. Cover; let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled in height, about 45 minutes.
  4. With handle of wooden spoon, make indentations in dough at 1-inch intervals. Top with Onion-Tomato Topping. Bake in preheated 450°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until done. Remove from pan; cool on wire rack.
  5. Onion-Tomato Topping: Heat oil over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in salt, basil, thyme, pepper and tomatoes.
