1 x Polenta flour mix

8g Active bakers yeast

5g Brown sugar

30ml Oil

2. In a stand mixer, add the flour mix and oil. Combine on a low speed for around 1 minute. 
3. Then slowly pour in the yeast mixture into the stand mixer, at this point add the rest of the water. Mix for around 5 minutes until the dough is bouncy and elastic.
4. Cover the dough with clingfilm and leave to prove until doubled in size.
5. After this, tip out onto a floured surface and shape into 2 balls. Place these on an oiled tray, brush the tops of the dough with some water and scatter over the bag of polenta. Then leave to prove for a further 25 minutes.
6. Meanwhile preheat the oven to 200°C/ fan 180°C/ gas mark 7.
