Preparation

• Add the rest of the ingredients and use a mixerís dough hook attachment till the dough is smooth and has formed into a nice ball.

• Portion the dough into 3½-ounce balls and let rise till doubled in size.

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.

• Roll out the dough and dock it. Bake the dough on a cornmeal-dusted baking sheet till edges start to brown slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool.

• Top the flatbread with whatever you want and bake about 5 to 10 minutes until the toppings are done. For a crisp crust, bake directly on the oven rack.
