• 2 cups flour
• 1/3 cup yellow cornmeal

Step 1

Combine water, sugar, yeast and olive oil. Let it set for 10 minutes. Mix together flour, cornmeal and salt. Add yeast mixture to flour mixture. Knead on a low speed for 10 minutes or until smooth.

Form dough into a ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic and let rise until doubled, about one hour. Punch dough down and re-shape into a ball. Return to oiled bowl and let rise again, about one hour.

Preheat oven ro 450°. Divide dough in half. Freeze one half for later use. Roll out remaining ball and put toppings on and bake.
