1. 1

   Pour the water into a saucepan and sprinkle in the cornmeal. Stirring constantly, bring the water to a boil and remove it from the heat. Stir in the maple syrup. If you're using butter, add it now while the mixture is hot. Allow to cool a bit. Blend the yeast and salt with the whole wheat flour and stir it into the cornmeal mixture; then add the 2 tablespoons of oil, if you're using it. Add 4 cups of the all-purpose flour and mix until the dough begins to pull away from the side of the bowl.

2. 2

   Turn out onto a flour-sprinkled kneading surface and knead for 3 or 4 minutes. Add enough more flour to give the dough body, but not enough to make it stiff. Let the dough rest while you wash, clean out and grease the bowl. Knead the dough another 3 or 4 minutes, place it in the bowl, cover, and let rise until it's doubled in bulk.*
