Ingredients:
2 1/2 c lukewarm water
sprinkle of white sugar
2 tsp yeast
5 1/2 c four
1 T salt
olive oil (for brushing)
1/4 c cornmeal
10 cloves minced garlic (opt)
3/4 c diced green onion (opt)
Fill a large bowl with the water. Add the yeast and a sprinkle of white sugar. Whisk the yeast until it's dissolved. Add 3 cups of the flour and stir until smooth. Add salt and the remaining flour. Stir again until well combined.
Dust a counter with flour. Knead the dough, adding more flour if too sticky. Form a ball, place in a greased bowl and spray the top with cooking spray. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 2-3 hours OR until doubled in size.
*****If your kitchen is too cold or you need it faster, preheat your oven to 200'. Boil 2 cups of water. Pour in a shallow cooking dish and place in the bottom rack of your oven. Turn OFF your oven and put your dough inside. Dough should rise within an hour.
*****
Once the dough is ready, preheat your oven to 550'. Place baking tray in the oven as it heats up. Take it out and dust it with a little cornmeal.
Transfer dough to floured surface. Punch out air. Cut into 4 pieces. Using your fingers, spread into oval shapes, about 8" long. Place on sheet and brush with oil (and garlic and onion if desired).
Bake for 8-10 minutes.
