Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups Cornmeal
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 cups Olive oil
- 1.25 cups Water
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoons Sugar
- 4 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
- Cooking spray
- as desired Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, sautéed vegetables, sausage)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of flour, cornmeal, salt, and instant yeast.
Add olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for 7-8 minutes, adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the crushed tomatoes, dried oregano, and sugar. Simmer the sauce uncovered for 20 minutes, then set it aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spray a deep-dish pizza pan or a 10-inch cast iron skillet with cooking spray.
Punch down the dough and press it into the prepared pan, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides evenly.
Spread half of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the dough, then layer on your desired toppings.
Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the toppings and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan on top.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the pizza rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Deep Dish Lisa Pizza!
