Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons cornmeal
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and cornmeal.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, olive oil, and melted butter.
Mix the dough with a wooden spoon or your hands until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of flour until it feels tacky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch the dough down to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions if making smaller pizzas, or keep it whole for a large deep-dish pizza.
Roll out the dough to fit your desired pan or pizza shape. For a deep-dish pizza, press the dough into a cast iron skillet or baking dish, ensuring it also covers the sides.
Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
