Instructions from the forum thread:

In a mixing bowl, add the water, sugar, yeast, flour, cornmeal, and salt. Mix on low speed for a few minutes until the dough comes together, then slowly add the oil. Continue to mix dough for 7 more minutes. The dough should be somewhat moist and smooth, not sticky. Form the dough into a ball and place into a bowl. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and then with a dish towel and place in the refrigerator for an overnight rise.
