Pfft -- Corn Meal... what to do with it???

oh oh... my first blog post... better get a recipe up here!

I always have a lot of corn meal around, and really only use it for keeping bread or pizza from sticking to the baking stone. So I am always looking for a way to use some, with out actually making corn bread. Here is something I tried last night that worked out pretty good.

2 teaspoons of salt -- 12 grams
1.5 tblspoon of yeast -- 13 grams
optional -- 3 tblspoons of Vital Wheat Gluten to make the crust chewy
