- 2 Tablespoon dry active yeast
- 2 Tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- ¾ Tablespoon kosher salt
- 2 cups very warm water not hot
- 4-5 cups all purpose flour
- about 1 cup corn meal
Begin by combining 2 tablespoon active dry yeast, 2 tablespoon sugar, 2 olive oil, ¾ tablespoon kosher salt, and 2 cups very warm water in a large mixing bowl. I like to use the bowl of my kitchenaid stand mixer.
Let proof for 5 minutes. The yeast should bubble and grow a bit. If it doesn't, your yeast is dead and you will need to buy new yeast.
Add in 4 cups of flour and kneed using the dough hook of your stand mixer until it pulls away from the sides and forms a ball. If it does not begin to form a ball, gradually begin to add in up to one additional cup of flour. Kneed for several minutes.
Cover with a thin towel and let rise until doubled in size. About 20 minutes.
Once risen, punch down dough.
Form into 6 equal sized balls and roll in corn meal. Place on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment paper and dusted with additional cornmeal.
Cover with a thin towel and let rise until doubled in size. About 20 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake 15-20 minutes, or until lightly browned and hard to the tap on top.
