1 tsp. sugar
1 tsp. sugar
2 1/2 C. flour

Recipe

In the mixing bowl add the warm water, yeast and sugar, stir with a whisk.

Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, cornmeal and olive oil. Use the paddle and mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes.

Put on the dough hook and add the remaining flour. Knead on speed 2 until the dough clings to the hook, then knead on speed 2 for 5 minutes longer. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise for 1 hour.

With oiled fingers press the dough into a deep-dish pizza pan.

Cover the dough with the mozzarella, then top with the sausage. Place the tomatoes over the sausage. Top with the basil, oregano and Parmesan cheese.

Bake in a 500ºF oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350ºF and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is brown. "
