Ingredients

1 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast

1 tablespoon molasses

2/3 cup warm water

1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

¾ cup whole wheat flour

3 tablespoons cornmeal, plus more for dusting

½ teaspoon coarse sea salt, plus more for sprinkling

3 tablespoons olive oil

Black pepper, coarsely ground, to taste

Directions

(Prep time includes 1 ½ to 2 ½ hours for the dough to rise)

Combine the yeast with the molasses and 2 tablespoons of the warm water in a large bowl and let it stand, 5 to 10 minutes until foamy.

Stir in the remaining water, 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, the whole-wheat flour, 3 tablespoons cornmeal, and ½ teaspoon salt to form dough that is soft and workable but not sticky.

Knead the dough 6 to 8 minutes until smooth and elastic on a floured work surface, or in a food processor or a mixer fitted with dough hooks. Add more all-purpose flour, if necessary.

Use ½ tablespoon of the oil to lightly oil a large bowl. Place the dough in the bowl and brush the top with another ½ tablespoon oil.

Cover with a dampened kitchen towel and let rise 1 to 2 hours until doubled in bulk.

Punch the dough down, cover again, and let rise again about 30 minutes until doubled in bulk.

Punch the dough down and divide it into 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and keep covered with a damp kitchen towel.

Preheat oven broiler to high.

Lightly dust worktop and rolling pin with flour. Roll out the balls one at a time (keeping the others covered) to form circles 5 inches in diameter and 1/8 inch thick.

Lightly dust the circles with cornmeal and stack them on a plate with plastic wrap or waxed paper in between each dough circle.

When ready to bake, brush the circles with the remaining oil and place 3 at a time, evenly spaced, on the oven broiler pan. Set pan ¼ the way down from the top heating element.

Broil, turning once with tongs, until puffed and golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

Sprinkle the rolls with ground pepper. Serve immediately with fresh butter.
