  • Yield

    Serves 12 to 16

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups warm water (105°F to 115°F)
2 envelopes dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 cup white cornmeal
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 teaspoons coarse salt
3 1/4 cups all purpose flour
2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
1 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 teaspoons minced garlic
4 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
4 tablespoons chopped green onions

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place 1 1/4 cups warm water in large bowl. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over; stir to blend. Let stand until yeast dissolves, about 10 minutes. Mix in cornmeal, oil and salt.

    Step 2

    Add 3 cups flour to yeast mixture; stir until dough forms. Turn dough out onto floured work surface. Add remaining 1/4 cup flour; knead until dough is smooth and elastic, about 2 minutes.

    Step 3

    Lightly oil clean large bowl. Add dough; turn to coat. Cover with plastic wrap, then kitchen towel. Let dough rise in warm draft-free area until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.

    Step 4

    Punch dough down. Turn out onto floured surface; knead briefly until smooth. Return to oiled bowl; turn to coat. Cover with plastic, then kitchen towel. Let dough rise 40 minutes. Punch dough down. Turn out onto floured surface. Divide into 4 pieces. Cover with plastic; chill at least 1 hour or overnight.

    Step 5

    Preheat oven to 450°F. Oil 11x15-inch baking sheet. Roll out 1 dough piece to 1/8-inch-thick rectangle. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Using fingers, gently stretch dough to edges of baking sheet. Bake until golden, puffed and crisp, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Top with 1/2 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup Gorgonzola, 1/4 cup Parmesan and 1 teaspoon garlic. Return cracker to oven; bake until cheese melts and bubbles, about 4 minutes. Remove from oven. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon each of parsley and green onions. Remove cracker from baking sheet. Cool baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, cheeses, garlic, parsley and onions. Break warm crackers into pieces.
