Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 c All-Purpose Flour
1 Cake Yeast
1 1/3 c Warm Water
2 tb Olive Oil
1 t Salt
1 t Parmesan, Grated
Cornmeal

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Place the pizza
baking stone(s) or tile(s) in the oven to be heated.
Dissolve the yeast in the warm (85 degrees F) water.
Let stand without stirring until the mixture foams
(8-10 minutes). Combine the flour and salt in a bowl.
Add the olive oil and yeast mixture. Stir well. Add
the grated Parmesan. Stir well. Cover the bowl with a
cloth. Let the dough rest about 10 minutes. Turn out
onto a well floured board and knead until smooth
(about 10 minutes). Place the dough in a greased bowl.
Cover and let rise until doubled (about 2 hours).
Punch down. Turn out onto a floured board. Divide the
dough into equal portions. Roll each portion of the
dough to a thickness of 1/4 ". Oil the (14") pizza
pans. Sprinkle some cornmeal on each. Form the pies in
the pans, pinching the edges up a little to hold the
filling. Brush the dough liberally with olive oil.
Spread the sauce(s), seasoning(s) and topping(s) over
the dough leaving the outer 1/2" bare. Let the pies
rest about 10 minutes. Remove the pies from the pans
and, using a pizza paddle, place on the baking
stone(s). Bake until the edges are light brown and the
cheese is bubbly. Serve.
