Chop your dough ball into bits and stir into a 4 cup bowl to which you've
placed a cupful of warm water, to which you've stirred in a tablespoonful of
sugar and three tablespoons of flour... cover with a clean cloth and place in a
warm spot... after about an hour or two you should have a nice sponge
containing enough yeast for a couple of pizzas. Of course I've no idea how
long off your "tonight" is but I know I'd be eating pizza in about six hours...
wouldn't be the ideal pizza crust, but decently edible... and then you may be
pleasantly surprised. Anyway, you got somewhere better to put that ball of
dough.

So where did that ball of dough come from... next time you're low on yeast and
want to bake more than your available yeast can handle, first make up a sponge.
