Prepare the Sourdough Crust
Using a stand mixer bowl, sift the strong White Flour, Semolina Flour, and Salt together.
In a measuring cup, dissolve the Fresh Yeast in the Water. Add in Sourdough Starter and mix well. Then add in Olive Oil. Mix well.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture.
Use a stand mixer to completely incorporate the dough. Mix until all the dough clings together nicely (often all of it is on the mixing paddle).
Turn out the dough onto a nicely powdered countertop and knead for 3 minutes, stretching and breaking the dough roughly, combining it again, then folding and shaping into a nice ball.
Place the ball into a clean, oiled bowl, cover and set aside for an hour.
Knead the dough again for about 2 minutes, shaping it as before and return to the bowl. Cover tightly and refrigerate overnight.
When ready, remove the dough from the fridge. You can use it immediately. Dust your countertop with a good handful of flour. Shape the dough into a ball and cut it into 3 pieces of approximately 220 g each. Form each one into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 60 – 90 minutes.
On your countertop surface dusted with Semolina, form the pizza crust into a 10-inch round.
Prepare the Margherita Pizza
Preheat pizza stone or pan in oven at 540 F, if using a pizza oven, or at the highest level possible in a regular oven (about 450 F / 250 C).
Sprinkle a pizza peel with Semolina flour to provide slippage.
Roll out the sourdough dough (see recipe above) and place it gently on the pizza peel.
Brush lightly with Olive Oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt.
Add the Mozzarella, evenly spaced.
Sprinkle on the Parmesan. Be sure to leave the edges clean (about 1/2 to 1 inch).
Space the Tomato slices evenly (I like them in a square!). Evenly place the Green or Yellow Bell Pepper slices (Optional).
Add a small piece of Feta cheese to each Tomato and a piece to the center and sprinkle some around.
Use the peel to slide the pizza into the oven. Bake 15-18 minutes until the crust is deeply brown.
Remove from oven. Garnish with Fresh Basil Leaves, lightly sprinkle with Olive Oil, Ground Black Pepper and Salt.
Slice the pieces and serve immediately.

When the dough is resting, it is important to always cover with plastic wrap to prevent the surface from drying out and forming a “skin.”
