In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the hook attachment, mix together 3 cups of the flour, Mazola corn oil and salt. Slowly stream in the yeast mixture and continue mixing on low to medium speed until the dough comes together. Add the remaining flour (if needed). The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Shape the dough into a ball and transfer to a large, well-oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a towel and allow it to double at room temperature. You can leave this on the counter for 6-10 hours if desired.

Punch the dough down and divide into two pieces. Place each half into a high-sided cake pan or in a cast iron pan. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes.
