How to Make Flatbread Dough
- Combine 1 cup boiling water and 1/3 cup cornmeal in a medium bowl. Let stand for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, dissolve 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 packet) active dry yeast in 1/2 cup warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Lightly spoon 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour into dry measuring cups and level with a knife.
- Combine the cornmeal mixture, 2 1/2 cups flour, and 1 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse 4 times or until just combined.
- With the food processor running, slowly add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil through the feed tube.
- Process until a dough ball forms (about 30 seconds). Process for 1 additional minute.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times.
- Place the dough in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat the top.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough. Cover and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 4 equal portions and shape each into a ball.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 10 x 6 inch oval.
- Place 2 ovals on a baking sheet lightly dusted with 1 1/2 teaspoons cornmeal.
- Repeat with the remaining 2 ovals on a second baking sheet dusted with 1 1/2 teaspoons cornmeal.
- Add your favorite toppings and bake at 475°F (246°C) for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
