Cornmeal Pizza Dough

This is a very easy, very quick way to make a no-rise pizza crust. There are only a few ingredients and, unlike recipes that require a long leavening time, this only takes about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:
1 cup flour (separated into 1/2 cups)
1/2 cup cornmeal
1 package yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup very hot water















Put 1/2 cup of flour, cornmeal, sugar, and yeast in a medium sized mixing bowl.
















Add 1/2 cup of the hot water.
















Mix everything up until you get a clay-like dough.
















Add the other 1/2 cup of flour, the remaining 1/4 cup of hot water and mix that in, as well.
















Once you have an elastic dough, let it sit covered in a warm place for 15 minutes.
















Now the dough is ready to be rolled out and used as a pizza crust.


Variations:
If you like, you can add spices or peppers to the crust. If you are making a sweet pizza, maybe you want to add cinnamon or allspice, if you are making the traditional pizza, basil, oregano or garlic might be a better choice.

    Can I use Stevia instead of sugar?

    Let me consult my vast wealth of stevia knowledge.

    Yes.

    Yes, you may use stevia instead of sugar. You may also substitute turbinado. Perhaps even molasses would work.
