1 cup warm (100 degree F) water 1/3 cup olive oil 1 1/4 cup bread flour 1 1/4 cup semolina flour 1/2 tsp salt 1 TBSP yeast (or two packets)

The mixer will begin to whir and mix the dough into a nice little ball.

Your dough should rise up like this during the final proof. If it doesn't, something is wrong.

Turn your finished dough out on a pizza peel covered with corn meal. A cookie sheet with no sides (like the one pictured here) makes a fine substitute for a pizza peel. Roll or press and stretch the dough into a 12-14" diameter circle.

Bake in a 450 degree preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and the cheese has just started to brown around the edges. Bake directly on a pizza stone. The cornmeal should facilitate sliding the pizza off the peel and onto the stone. If the pizza sticks to the peel, carefully lift it and dust a bit of cornmeal under the stuck spot to let it slide off the peel.

When you are done, it should look like this. Slice and chow down.
