Source: Bryan Woolley, teacher at Sur La Table

Dough:
2 cups water
1 tablespoon yeast
2 teaspoons salt
16 ounces cream cheese
2 cups salsa
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup cornmeal
6-8 cups unbleached bread flour

In a large mixing bowl combine water, yeast, cream cheese, salsa, butter, cornmeal and 3 cups of flour. Mix for 5 minutes. Add salt to the mixture and continue adding flour until mixture pulls together into a soft dough. Knead for 5 minutes. Once the dough has been kneaded for 5 minutes, oil the top of the dough and allow to rise until doubled.

Shape dough into desired shapes and allow to double in size once again. Bake dough in a 400 degree F oven for approximately 25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches at least 190 degrees F.
