1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon olive oil

3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons water

3 tablespoons bread flour, divided

vegetable cooking spray

1 tablespoon cornmeal

1 cup thinly sliced fresh mushrooms

1/2 cup thinly sliced onion

6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

1 large sweet red pepper, thinly sliced

1 teaspoon garlic-flavored olive oil

1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions:

1. Combine first 3 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; stir well. Combine olive oil and water in a saucepan; heat to 120° to 130°.
