Pizza Dough
- 2/3 cup lukewarm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
- 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus additional for oiling bowl
- 1 3/4 to 2 cups all-purpose unbleached flour
- 1/4 cup finely ground yellow cornmeal
- 2 teaspoons coarse salt
- In a large bowl stir together 1/3 cup water, yeast, and sugar and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
- Stir in remaining 1/3 cup water, 2 tablespoons oil, 1 3/4 cups flour, cornmeal, and salt and blend until the mixture forms a dough.
- Knead dough on a floured surface, incorporating as much of remaining 1/4 cup flour, as necessary, to prevent dough from sticking, until smooth about 5 to 10 minutes.
- Form the dough into a ball.
- Lightly oil the sides and bottom of a large bowl with oil, add the dough, turn to coat in the oil, cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Gently punch the dough down and divide into 4 equal pieces.
- Roll each piece on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch circle that is 1/8-inch thick.
- Brush off excess flour and transfer the dough to a baking sheet, cover each circle of dough with plastic wrap and continue stacking rolled out pieces on top of each other.
- Wrap well with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to grill.
