Make the Dough: Whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and yeast in a huge bowl.

Include water and softened spread and blend on low speed, utilizing a batter snare, until completely consolidated, 1 to 2 minutes, scratching sides and base of bowl periodically. Speed up to medium and manipulate until the mixture is lustrous and smooth and pulls from sides of the bowl, 4 to 5 minutes. (You can without much of a stretch make this by hand, blending in the water and spread with a spatula and afterward massaging by hand.)

Coat an enormous bowl with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Utilizing a lubed spatula, move the batter to the bowl, going to cover the mixture in oil; spread firmly with saran wrap. Let ascend at room temperature until.
