Ingredients:

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

1/2 cup small fresh basil leaves

1 1/4 teaspoons (half a 1/4-ounce packet) instant yeast

Kosher salt

Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling

2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

16 thin slices soppressata (about 2 ounces)

1 teaspoon sugar

10 medium tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick

Equipment:

food processor

oven

baking paper

baking sheet

rolling pin

Cooking instruction summary:

Make the dough: Position a rack in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. Put 1/2 cup flour, the yeast and sugar in a food processor and pulse to combine. With the motor running, add 3/4 cup hot tap water (about 115 degrees F). Turn off the motor and add the cornmeal, cheese, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1 cup flour. Pulse until the dough forms a ball, then continue pulsing until smooth but still wet, about 15 more times. Make the pizzettes: Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until soft and elastic, 12 to 15 times, dusting lightly with flour if too wet to handle. Using a floured rolling pin, roll out the dough into a 1/4-inch-thick disk, about 14 inches across. Using a 3-inch-round cutter, cut the dough into 16 rounds, gathering and rerolling the scraps if needed. Transfer the rounds to the prepared pans. Mix the olive oil, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush each round lightly with the herb oil, then top each with a slice of soppressata and 2 to 3 tomato slices. Sprinkle with the parmesan. Bake one sheet at a time, until the crusts are golden, about 8 minutes. Drizzle the pizzettes with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and top with the basil leaves. Serve warm or at room temperature. Photograph by Anna Williams

Food Joke

Some daze I just can't seem to focus. Old people shouldn't eat health foods. They need all the preservatives they can get A plastic surgeon's office the only place where no one gets offended when you pick your nose! I used to go to an origami class, until it folded. Today everyone wants instant gratification, no matter how long it takes. If a parsley farmer is sued, can they garnish his wages? You can lead a horse to water, but, a pencil must be lead. For Rent: 6 room hated apartment. You have two choices in life: you can stay single and be miserable, or get married and wish you were dead. Have you heard that Revlon and Maibelene have agreed to make-up. Every morning is the dawn of a new error.
