                              Rosie's Pizza Dough
 
 .75 c  lukewarm water
 1 tsp  honey
 1 tbs  dry active yeast
 1.5 c  Semolina flour
 .5 tsp salt
 1 tsp  olive oil
 .5 c   cornmeal
 Light vegetable oil cooking spray
 
 Combine the water and honey in a medium stainless steel bowl.  Sprinkle the
 yeast on top and set aside for 20 minutes to proof, until bubbles form on the
 surface.
 
 Put the flour, semolina, and salt into the bowl of a food processor.  Turn the
 machine on and slowly add the yeast mixture through the feed tube.  Process for
 about a minute, until the dough ball froms, drizzling a little additional water
 into the feed tube if necessary.  Continue the process for another 2 minutes. 
 
 Rub the surface of a large bowl with olive oil.  Transfer the dough ball and
 rool it into the oil to coat.  Cover with a towel and set the bowl aside in a
 warm place until the dough ball has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
 
 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
 
 Remove the dough to a work surface that has been dusted with the cornmeal and
 roll out evenly to a thickness of .25 inch.  Cut out 8 5.5 inch circles, using
 a sharp knife and a saucer.
 
 Spray a cookie sheet 3 times with the vegetable oil to coat.  Put the pizza
 crusts onto the sheet.  Bake for 3-5 minutes, until golden.  Remove the baked
 crusts from the oven and add the topping variation of your choice.
 
 Makes 8 individual pizza crusts.
