Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 pounds Ground beef
- 0.5 pounds Italian sausage
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Add the warm water and olive oil, then mix until a sticky dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Meanwhile, in a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef and Italian sausage until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess grease. Set aside to cool.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Divide the risen dough into two portions, one slightly larger than the other (for the bottom crust).
Roll out the larger portion of dough into a 14-inch circle and dust the bottom with cornmeal. Place it on a 12-inch pizza pan or a cast-iron skillet, pressing it slightly up the edges to create a deep edge.
Spread half of the mozzarella cheese evenly on the bottom of the crust.
Add the cooked beef and sausage mixture in an even layer, followed by the pizza sauce, Parmesan cheese, oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
Top with the remaining mozzarella cheese.
Roll out the smaller portion of dough into a 12-inch circle and place it over the fillings. Pinch the edges of the top and bottom dough together to seal.
Cut a few small slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm and enjoy!
