Stir ice water and malt syrup together until malt syrup has fully dissolved. In a food processor, process flour, wheat gluten and yeast until combined. With processor running, slowly add ice water mixture and continue to process until dough is just combined and no dry flour remains. Let dough stand for 10 minutes once complete.
INSTRUCTIONS
Add salt to dough and process until dough forms shaggy mass that clears the sides of work bowl, about 60-90 seconds. Transfer dough to unfloured counter and knead until smooth, about 1 minute. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
Working with one piece of dough at a time and keeping remaining pieces covered, form dough pieces into smooth round balls. Let dough balls rest on counter, covered, for 15 minutes.
Sprinkle rimmed baking sheet with cornmeal. Working with one dough ball at a time, coat dough balls lightly with flour, and then, using your hands and rolling pin, pat and roll dough balls into 5 inch rounds.
