Cornmeal Pizza Crust
- 3 teaspoons dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 5 cups flour (more if needed)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- Fit the kneaded blade on a heavy-duty mixer.
- Proof the yeast in 1/2 cup water with 1 teaspoon sugar until foamy (about 8 minutes).
- In the stainless steel bowl place 5 cups flour, salt, sugar, oil and cornmeal.
- When the yeast is proofed, add to the bowl along with 1-1/2 cups warm water; start kneading adding in more flour as needed to create a soft smooth dough.
- After the kneading is finished, let the dough rest in the bowl for 8-10 minutes.
- Remove the dough from the mixing bowl and shape in a ball.
- Place into a well greased bowl, cover and let rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes, or until doubled in size.

- Roll out the dough into two 16-inch circles.
- Place into lightly greased pizza pans.
- Top as desired.
- Bake in a 400 degree oven until lightly golden brown (about 15-20 minutes).
