Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

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.
