You need a food processor..or even a mini-prep.
1/3 cup hot water
1 cup semolina flour
1 tsp baking powder (Check the expiration date on that)
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbs olive oil.
Mix the dry..and add the oil..add a bit of the water and pulse....add more water slowly and pulse until the dough forms a ball.
Let it rest 15mins to 2 hours.
Divide into 4 balls and roll out as thin as you can.
Heat up a cast iron skillet...heat up your broiler.
Put the disk in the pan when it start to bubble up...add your toppings* and put in the broiler until cheese is melted.
*It's pretty light cracker thin crust, which will not hold up well with tomato sauce (unless you just 'paint' on a bit)..use some sun dried tomatoes instead...or some pesto sauce.
Go light on the toppings..just cheese, some thin sliced mushrooms/onions, and some ham or chopped pepperoni.
Herbs are a must---use one or two of rosemary, oregano, thyme, basil.
Some good crunchy finishing salt is good too!
Cool on a wire rack a min or so...or since these are small 6in ..I use a couple of chopsticks.
/sorry for the double post. I'm full of mistakes today.
