Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients:
1 pk Yeast, not instant
1 ts Sugar
1 1/4 c  Warm water
2 3/4 c  Bread flour
6 tb Olive oil
1/2 ts Salt
4 tb Grated parmesan cheese
1/2 ts Dried rosemary, crushed
1 tb Cornmeal
1 ts Coarse salt
Black pepper

1. Dissolve the yeast and the sugar in 3/4 cup warm water, about 110
degrees. Set aside for 15 minutes until very foamy.

2. Stir in 1 cup flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let this sponge proof
in a warm place until tripled in volume and very bubbly, about 3 hours.

3. Into the yeast mixture, add the remaining 1/2 cup warm water, 2 T olive
oil, 1/2 t regular salt, parmesan and rosemary.

4. Add enough of the remaining flour to form a soft and workable dough.
Knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 10
minutes.

5. Oil a large bowl. Put the dough into the bowl, cover loosely and let
rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.

6. Sprinkle a baking sheet with the cornmeal. Divide the dough into 4 parts
and roll each into a circle about 7 in. in diameter. Place on the baking
sheet. Use the tips of your fingers to make the dimples in the dough. Spoon
a tablespoon of olive oil on each bread piece and sprinkle with the coarse
salt and pepper.

7. Bake in a preheated 475F oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
