Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water (115 degrees F)
1 1/2 Tablespoons sugar
1 package dry yeast
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cornmeal
2 teaspoons salt
3 Tablespoons olive oil
Directions
1. Combine water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Let it sit until it starts to froth, which indicates that the yeast is active.
2. In the mixing bowl of an electric mixer, combine yeast mixture, flour, cornmeal, salt, and olive oil.
3. On low speed using the dough hook, knead for about 4 minutes or until the dough is elastic. (The dough will be softer than a bread dough.)
4. Remove the bowl from the machine and cover with a towel. Let sit in a warm place until the dough has doubled in volume.
