Ingredients

  • 1 cup lukewarm (about 100°F or 38°C) water
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • ⅛ oz yeast
  • 1 tbsp white granulated sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • Vegetable , corn , or canola oil
  • Cornmeal

Directions

1

Mix water, yeast, flour, and salt in a large mixing bowl. If the batter is thin and runny like pancake batter, knead in a little more flour to get a sticky dough . If you can touch the batter with your finger and not stick to it, that's too dry, so knead in a little water.

2

Set the mixing bowl so it is sitting in warm water, or place on top of a warm oven. Let rise for 20–30 minutes. Don't worry if it only rises 10% or 20%—it'll still work.

3

Grease a baking sheet with some oil, then sprinkle cornmeal on the oil. Use you fingers to press the dough out until it is about ¼ inch thick all over, with the edges ½ inch thick. Sprinkle flour on top of the dough so it doesn't stick to your hands.

4

Top dough with pizza toppings as desired—see pizza article.

5

Bake at 425°F for about 15–20 minutes. Rotate every 5 minutes and move to upper or lower shelves as necessary. After 10 minutes slide a large knife under the crust. If it is dark brown, move it to a higher shelf so it doesn't burn while the top finishes cooking. If it is white or light tan, move to lower shelf so you get a crispy crust before the cheese starts turning brown on top.
