Cornmeal Pizza Dough

From the collection
Total Time 2 hours
Yield 1 pizza crust

Introduction

This recipe is adapted from The Way to Cook, by Julia Child.

Ingredients

1 tsp. instant yeast
½ tsp. sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
⅓ cup cornmeal
1½ tsp. salt
¼ cup milk
¼ cup lukewarm water
2 Tbsp. olive oil

Steps

  1. Combine the yeast, sugar, flour, cornmeal, and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse briefly to mix. Add the milk, water, and olive oil, and process until the dough comes together into a ball. It’s a fairly wet and sticky dough.
  2. Place the ball of dough in an oiled mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for 90 minutes, punching down once, or refrigerate up to two days or freeze up to a month.
