By Marlenew

Ingredients

• 3/4 C warm water
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
• 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp olive oil
• 2 C all purpose flour
• 1/2 C cornmeal
• 1 tsp salt

Preparation

Step 1

Directions:

Proof your yeast in a measuring cup with warm water and sugar. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Add olive oil.

In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, mix together salt, cornmeal and flour. With mixer running on low, add liquid ingredients. Mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the side of the bowl. Add additional flour a spoonful at a time as needed until dough is no longer sticky.

Shape into a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise in a warm location until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Shape dough into desired shape on a lightly greased baking sheet. Add desired toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
