The addition of instant yeast seems to negate the excitement of using sourdough starter discards to make pizza crust. If the author was just using the starter discard to impart taste, I would understand. While the author does write about the flavor a sourdough starter adds to a pizza dough, she makes it clear that the article is about experimenting with the rise of the dough...to which instant yeast has been added. This leaves me with no confidence that sourdough starter discards can be used to make pizza dough, as the article title clearly states. What am I missing?
