Cornmeal Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Pulse flour, cornmeal, salt, and sugar in a food processor to combine. Add butter, and process until mixture resembles coarse meal, about 10 seconds. With the machine running, add ice water in a slow, steady stream until dough just begins to hold together (no longer than 30 seconds).
• Shape dough into a disk. Wrap in plastic, and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour (or up to 2 days).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425. Grease 12 inch pizza pan with shortening.
• Heat water to boiling in 2-quart saucepan.
• Stir in remaining ingredients with wire whisk until mixture is smooth and thickens.
• Spoon onto pizza pan and spread evenly, mounding edge slightly.
• Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until set and light brown.
• After you top pizza with your favorite toppings, bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted and toppings are hot.

Steps:

• Place all of the ingredients in a medium bowl and blend them together into a dough.
• Additional water may be added if the mixture is not pliable enough.
• The dough will keep for 4-6 weeks if stored in an airtight plastic container.

Steps:

• Set a rack in the center of the oven and preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with two layers of parchment paper.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt. Rub 2 tablespoons of the butter into the flour mixture with your fingertips, until it is completely incorporated. Work the remaining butter into the flour until it's in even, pea-sizes pieces. Gently stir in the buttermilk to make a loose dough.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Pat the dough into a 1/2-inch-thick rectangle. Fold the dough in thirds like a business letter. Pat the dough into a 5 by 8-inch rectangle about 3/4 inch thick. Use a 2- to 3-inch round cutter to make 6 biscuits, and put biscuits on the prepared baking sheet. Press together the scraps of dough, cut 2 more biscuits, and place them on the baking sheet.
• Bake until the tops are lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Cool slightly on a rack before serving.

Steps:

• Mix flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and sugar in a bowl or in food processor. Either cut in butter using fingertips or a fork to make a crumbly mixture, or add butter to processor and pulse until crumbly.
• Beat egg and buttermilk or yogurt together and stir in, mixing to make a very soft dough. Add 1 to 2 more tablespoons of buttermilk, if needed, to hold the dough together.

Steps:

• Whisk cornmeal with 1 1/2 cups cold water.
• In a medium saucepan, bring 2 1/2 cups water, salt, and pepper to a boil.
• Gradually stir in cornmeal mixture. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring often, until very thick, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove from heat; stir in butter until melted.

Steps:

• Place corn, eggs, oil and salt in food processor or blender. Cover and process until smooth. Add flour and cornmeal. Cover and process about 10 seconds or until dough leaves side of bowl and can be pressed together with fingers. Remove dough and press into a ball. Cover dough with plastic wrap or foil. Let stand 10 minutes.
• Divide dough in half. Roll one-half of dough with rolling pin into rectangle 1/8 to 1/16-inch thick on lightly floured surface. Loosely fold rectangle lengthwise into thirds; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch strips for fettuccine, 1/8-inch strips for linguine. Hang pasta on drying rack or lightly floured towels to dry. Repeat with remaining dough.
• In 6-quart saucepan, heat 4 quarts water to boiling; add pasta. Boil uncovered 2 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until firm but tender. Drain pasta; do not rinse.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil.
• Combine flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt, cayenne pepper and sugar in a food processor and process to blend. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture is uniformly crumbly. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
• Mix the egg and buttermilk together. Using a fork or your fingertips, lightly stir them into the dry ingredients so the mixture can be gathered together to form a ball of soft dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured board.
• Pat the dough until it is uniformly one-half-inch thick or a shade thicker. Cut into one-and-one-half-inch rounds. You can re-form the scraps and cut those. Place the dough rounds on the baking sheet and bake until medium brown on the bottom and just beginning to brown on top, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve, or allow to cool, then warm before serving.

Steps:

• Combine both flours, the cornmeal, sugar, and salt in a food processor and pulse until well mixed. Add the butter and pulse until the mixture forms coarse crumbs, with a few almond-sized pieces remaining. Sprinkle the grapefruit juice over the mixture and pulse until the dry ingredients are evenly moistened and large clumps just start to form. When you squeeze some of the fine crumbs between your fingers, they should hold together.
• Turn the dough out and divide it into 2 portions, one slightly larger than the other.
• Shape the dough into two 1-inch-thick disks, wrap each tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Make-ahead: The dough can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. It can be frozen in resealable plastic freezer bags for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
