Serves: 8 people

Recipe Ingredients

1   Dry yeast
1 teaspoon 5mlSugar
3/4 cup 177mlWarm water
2 1/4 cups 140g / 4.9ozBread flour - divided
1 teaspoon 5mlSalt
1/2 teaspoon 2.5mlDried Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon 15mlOlive oil
  Vegetable cooking spray
1 tablespoon 15mlCornmeal
1 teaspoon 5mlOlive oil
2 tablespoons 30mlGrated Parmesan cheese

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 (85 oF), free from drafts, 45 minutes or until doubled in bulk.

Preheat oven to 500 oF.

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 500 oF for 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into squares,

and serve warm. Yield: 8 servings.

per serving: 2 b, 1 fat.
