Steps

1

Gather all of your ingredients. Preheat the oven for 3 minutes and turn off to provide a warm spot to proof the dough.
2

In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together the water and yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes to activate.
3

Meanwhile, whisk together all the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
4

Add the olive oil and dry ingredients to the mixing bowl and stir until combined.
5

With a dough hook, need on medium-low for 8 minutes. Add some extra flour a little at a time, as needed, to stiffen up the dough.
6

Turn out the dough on a floured surface and knead for a couple more minutes, incorporating more flour if needed to get the consistency right.
7

Form dough into a ball and place in an olive oil coated bowl, turning dough to coat all sides. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the warmed oven to rise for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
The dough can also be frozen at this point to enjoy later.
8

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough to about a quarter of an inch.
9

Move to a pan sprayed with baking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal and press out the the edges of the pan. With a fork, poke holes all over the dough, leaving about 1½ inches around the edge.
10

Bake at 400°F for 8 minutes, or until just beginning to brown.
