Prep: 20 min, plus rising time.
2 tsp. active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water, 105-115 degrees farenheit
4 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup olive oil, plus extra
1 tsp. cornmeal

Dissolve yeast in warm water. Set aside 5 minutes until foamy. Combine flour, salt and Parmesan in a bowl. Stir in yeast mixture and olive oil and mix thoroughly. Turn dough out onto a well floured work surface. Knead 8-10 minutes until smooth. Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise 1 hour until doubled.

Preheat oven to 425°F (if using a baking stone or tiles, place in the oven to heat). Punch dough down and roll out to 3/4 inch thickness on a well floured work surface. Brush dough generously with olive oil. Lightly oil a 14 inch pizza pan. Sprinkle with cornmeal and form dough around the pan. Spread desired sauce and topping over dough, leaving the outer 1/2 inch bare. (If using baking stone or tiles, remove pizza from pan and place on heated baking tiles with a baker's peel.) Bake about 10 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden.
