 Brush a 12″ x 8″ pan with olive oil and sprinkle with cornmeal. On a lightly floured suface, roll out dough to size of pan. Place dough on pan and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let dough rise in a warm place about 40-50 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Press fingertip indentations into dough about an inch apart and a half inch deep.
