Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Yellow cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Water (warm, 110°F)
- 6 tablespoons Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 28 ounces Crushed tomatoes (canned)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 4 cups Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Italian pork sausage (optional, cooked and crumbled)
- 0.5 cup Pepperoni slices (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Gradually add warm water to the bowl and mix together until a dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for 7-8 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Prepare the tomato sauce by heating 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic, oregano, basil, and canned tomatoes. Simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened. Set aside.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan or cast-iron skillet with olive oil.
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a 14-inch circle. Press the dough into the prepared pan, ensuring it reaches slightly up the sides to form a crust.
Layer the pizza by first spreading shredded mozzarella cheese evenly across the base of the crust.
Add any desired toppings, such as cooked sausage or pepperoni, on top of the cheese.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the cheese and toppings.
Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the tomato sauce.
Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Let the pizza cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
