Directions

1
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, sugar, salt, oregano, and yeast.

3
Beat the mixture for 2 minutes at medium speed using an electric mixer.
4
Add 3/4 cup of the remaining flour; beat at high speed for 2 minutes.

Stir in enough of the remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
6
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
7
Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn to grease the top.
8
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and shape each into a ball.

Cover the dough balls and let them rest for 10 minutes.
12
Roll and stretch each ball into a 5-inch circle.
13
Place the circles on baking sheets greased and sprinkled with cornmeal.
