Sour Dough Pizza

Start with sour dough starter.
Add the following "flavor enhancers" to starter:
olive oil ( 1/4 c? I do not really measure )
oregano
basil
minced garlic ( or powdered garlic, if I'm lazy )
dash of garlic salt.
honey
( can also add butter ).
More or less amounts are so that you can see a change in the dough, 1 teaspoon - 1 Tablespoon, maybe, of the oregano, basil, and garlic. 1 Squirt of honey ( I have no idea what a squirt is, it just squeeze until I cannot squeeze the honey anymore )

Sauce:
1 (small ?oz) can of Hunt's tomato paste
1 T of cream cheese
oregano
basil
garlic powder.
1 splash of water

Microwave until cream cheese is soft ( ~30s - 1 min )

Roll dough onto 2 buttered pizza stone until about 1/8 - 1/4 think.
( or just go with one, but it will eat like bread with toppings. )

Preheat oven to 350
Spread sauce onto dough.
Add whatever.
shred ~ 6oz of mozzarella cheese, or just until covered, really how much to like cheese?
sprinkle parmasean on top, I like to use freshly grated from the block, and I do think it makes a difference.
Cook for 1/2 hr to 1 hour ( depends on thinness, number of toppings, etc. )
Until the cheese is melted and is a golden brown color.

Let cool for 5-10 minutes.
Slice
Enjoy
