Ingredients
Dough
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1 package active dry yeast
1 1/2 cup flour, plus additional
for dusting
1/4 cup cornmeal
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Pizza
pepperoni
ham
bulk Italian sausage
Directions
Place warm water in a small mixing bowl. Add
to warm water yeast and sugar and let stand until mixture
appears foamy (about 5 minutes).
In a separate large mixing bowl, whisk flour,
cornmeal, oil and salt. Make a well in the center of the
flour mixture, then pour yeast and warm water mixture into
well. Gradually stir flour into the yeast and water mixture
with a fork until dough follows fork around the bowl. Once dough is
thoroughly mixed, transfer to a flat work area. Sprinkle a
little flour on work surface area. Knead dough
by folding and refolding for about 7-10 minutes. Form into a
ball.
Coat a large bowl with oil, then transfer
dough ball to bowl. Cover with a light weight towel or
plastic wrap and place in a warm place until dough rises to
double its size (about 1 hour). Transfer dough to work
surface and knead again for about 1-2 minutes.
Roll dough into a 13-inch circle, then
transfer to an oiled 12-inch pizza or pie pan. Pinch the
edges of the dough to make a rim. Spread with pizza sauce,
then sprinkle all but a handful of mozzarella cheese over
dough. Sprinkle meats on top of cheese. Top with remaining
mozzarella cheese, then place in a warm area and cover with
a towel. Let rise for about 30 minutes.
While waiting for dough to rise, preheat oven
to 475° F. Once dough
has risen, bake pizza until crust is golden (about 25
minutes). Allow pizza to stand for about 5 minutes before
slicing.
