Step 1

Proof your yeast in a measuring cup with warm water and sugar. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes. Add olive oil.

Step 2

In the bowl of a stand mixer with dough hook attachment, mix together salt, cornmeal and flour. With mixer running on low, add liquid ingredients. Mix until dough forms a ball and pulls away from the side of the bowl. Add additional flour a spoonful at a time as needed until dough is no longer sticky.

Step 3

Shape into a smooth ball. Transfer to a lightly greased bowl. Cover and allow to rise in a warm location until doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat oven to 450°F. Shape dough into desired shape on a lightly greased baking sheet. Add desired toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
