  • 1 cup sourdough starter*, unfed (straight from the fridge)
  • 1/2 cup hot tap water
  • 2 1/2 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon instant yeast

  • 1/2 pound cremini (or white button mushrooms) thinly sliced

  • 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1 jar store bought marinara sauce, heated, for dipping (I make my own)
