Cornmeal pizza dough gives great flavor and a nice crunch without needing to over bake your pizza.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 C warm water (heated to 115°F)
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil
  • 2 C all purpose flour
  • 1/2 C cornmeal
  • 1 tsp salt

Directions

  1. 1

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

  2. 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.

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

  4. 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.
