  • Blending hot liquid. Let it cool a little first, fill the blender no more than a third, and hold the lid down with a folded towel. Start on the lowest speed. A stick blender in the pan is safer.

Method

  1. Place 1/4 cup warm water in medium bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over; stir to blend. Let stand until very puffed, about 6 minutes.
  2. Mix both flours, cornmeal, and salt in processor. Mix 1/4 cup warm water and 2 tablespoons oil into yeast. With machine running, gradually add yeast mixture to dry ingredients. Mix until dough just comes together, adding more water by teaspoonfuls if needed. Process 1 minute.
  3. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface. Knead 1 minute. Lightly brush large bowl with oil. Transfer dough to prepared bowl; turn to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. Transfer dough to lightly floured work surface; knead gently. Form dough into 2 balls. Place each on 1 sheet of parchment paper and press out to 9-inch round. Cover with plastic wrap.
  5. DO AHEAD Can be made 1 day ahead. Freeze 45 minutes. Transfer to refrigerator. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before continuing. Roll out dough as directed in recipe.
