Recipe Ingredients

1		Dry yeast
1 teaspoon	5ml	Sugar
3/4 cup	177ml	Warm water
2 1/4 cups	140g / 4.9oz	Bread flour - divided
1 teaspoon	5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Dried Italian seasoning

Recipe Instructions

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Place 2 cups flour, salt, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Add yeast mixture and 1 tablespoon oil, stirring to form a soft dough. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands.

Place in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Preheat oven to 500F.

Punch dough down. Pat dough into an 8 x 10 inch rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal.

Using the handle of a wooden spoon or your fingertips, make indentations in top of dough. Gently brush dough with 1 teaspoon oil, and sprinkle with cheese.

Bake at 500F for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into squares, and serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.
