Can this starter be kept going, like sourdough starter, so that I could make this bread "spur of the moment", rather than having to plan a day ahead?
Denise, you can actually just use a sourdough starter; the only issue with that is, I don't particular care for sourdough pizza, so I'd rather use a "fresh" starter, one that's rested only overnight. If you're in a hurry, you don't need to do the overnight rest, either; while it adds to the bread's flavor and rise, you could, if desired, simply increase the yeast by about 1/2 teaspoon, and throw all the ingredients (overnight starter + dough) together, and go from there. Enjoy - PJH
