Instructions

  1. 1 Stir warm water, 1/2 cup bread flour, yeast, and sugar together in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and forms a creamy mixture, about 40 minutes.
  2. 2 Mix 1/2 cup cornmeal, olive oil, and salt into yeast mixture. Gradually add 2 cups bread flour to yeast mixture until the dough pulls together.
  3. 3 Knead dough on a lightly floured work surface until smooth and elastic, 10 to 12 minutes. Place dough into a large, lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
  4. 4 Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into a 14-inch-wide rectangle. Starting from the long end, roll dough into a loaf, finishing seam-side down.
  5. 5 Dust a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon cornmeal. Place loaf onto the baking sheet, cover with a dry towel, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  6. 6 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Place a shallow pan filled with water onto the lowest oven rack.
  7. 7 Cut a 1/2-inch deep slash down the center of the loaf.
  8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown and the bottom sounds hollow when tapped, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

  2. 2 Place flour, water, 2 tablespoons sugar, yeast, and salt into a bread machine in the order listed, or follow the order recommended by the manufacturer if different. Run 'Dough' cycle. Remove dough from the machine after the cycle is done, about 90 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 Place flour into work bowl of a large stand mixer; add both amounts of water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Mix dough using stand mixer fitted with dough hook on low speed until it forms a ball on the dough hook, 5 to 6 minutes. Dough should be soft and elastic but not sticky.
  2. 2 Turn dough out onto a work surface and form a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand on counter at room temperature for 1 hour.
  3. 3 Lightly grease the quarter-sheet baking pan with 1 teaspoon olive oil; sprinkle with cornmeal. Dust a work surface lightly with flour.
  4. 4 Move oven rack to center position. Preheat oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C).
  5. 5 Unwrap dough and cut into quarters. Pat each quarter out on the floured work surface to a roughly rectangular shape. Roll 1 piece of dough out to about 3/8 inch thick, retaining rough rectangle shape, until dough is about 6x8 inches. Pick up dough with well-floured hands and gently stretch it, rotating as you go, until dough is almost large enough to fit over the prepared sheet pan. Pull and stretch dough so it overlaps the edge of the pan by about 1/2 inch and fasten dough edges to sheet pan edges; dough will be thin and membrane-like.
  6. 6 Drop about 6 tablespoons of crescenza-stracchino cheese onto the stretched dough, spreading the dollops out evenly. Roll out another piece of dough as before, stretching to fit over the first dough sheet and cheese. Stretch, pull, and seal dough as before so the cheese is enclosed between the 2 sheets of dough.
  7. 7 Roll a rolling pin over the edges of the dough to simultaneously seal the flatbread edges and cut the overlapping edges off. Roll the overlapping dough edges away from the pan so flatbread falls into the prepared pan. Press flatbread edges flat and roll slightly if desired to be sure the edges are fully sealed. Discard rolled-off dough edges.
  8. 8 Pinch a small bit of the top dough between your thumb and forefinger and gently tear a small hole in the dough; repeat 2 or 3 more times to make a few tears in the top layer.
  9. 9 Drizzle flatbread lightly with 2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt.
  10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until flatbread has many browned, blistered spots on top, bread has inflated, and the top is crusty, 6 to 7 minutes. Repeat steps to make a second flatbread using second half of dough as before. Drizzle 2nd flatbread with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon coarse sea salt. Bake second bread as before. Cut in breads into quarters and serve warm.

  1. 1 Combine 1/2 cup warm water, 1/2 cup flour, and 1/2 teaspoon yeast, in a bowl or measuring cup. Whisk the starter until well blended. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 Place 1 package yeast and 2 teaspoons sugar in a mixing bowl. Pour in 3/4 cup warm water. Let rest 15 minutes to ensure yeast is alive and bubbling on the surface. Add lard and salt to bowl, then add 1 cup of the flour. Mix until incorporated and dough forms a sticky ball. Add the starter. Add all but 1/2 cup of the remaining flour and mix to incorporate.
  3. 3 Knead dough on a lightly floured work surface until it comes together in a firm ball, adding up to 1/2 cup of the remaining flour as needed. Dough should be soft and supple with just a bit of tackiness on the surface.
  4. 4 Place dough in a bowl and coat the surface with vegetable oil. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel and place in a warm spot to rise. Let rise until at least doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  5. 5 Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper and sprinkle with cornmeal.
  6. 6 Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Lightly press dough into a rectangle with lightly floured hands. Divide dough in half and shape each half into a rectangle about 12 inches long and 1/2 inch thick. Starting at the long ends, tightly roll dough to form two skinny loaves. Slightly flatten the tops. Transfer loaves to a prepared baking sheet and dust with flour. Cover with a light, dry towel and let rise until doubled in size, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Instructions

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. 2 Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir ground beef, onion, and bell pepper in the hot skillet until beef is browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.
  3. 3 Stir tomatoes, tomato sauce, corn, olives, chili powder, garlic, cumin, salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper into the skillet. Bring to a low boil, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and continue to simmer until melted, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish.
  4. 4 Heat milk, butter, sugar, and salt for topping in a large saucepan over medium heat until butter has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in cornmeal a little at a time, stirring vigorously with each addition, until smooth and thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup Cheddar cheese. Drizzle in beaten eggs slowly, stirring vigorously until combined. Pour mixture over filling in the prepared dish, smoothing evenly over the surface.
  5. 5 Bake in the preheated oven until top is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 40 minutes. Allow pie to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
