Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cup bread flour
- 1 package active yeast 0.25 ounce
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
- 1 ¼ cup water warm
- 3 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter softened, unsalted
For the Filling:
- 1 pound Italian sausage no casings, hot
- 1 can crushed tomatoes 28 ounce
- 1 can tomato 14.5 ounce, diced, drained
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper ground
- 1 ½ Tablespoons oregano dried
- 1 Tablespoon basil fresh
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 4 cups mozzarella cheese freshly grated
Instructions
- For the dough, in a large mixing bowl, combine, flours, yeast, salt and sugar. Slowly add water and olive oil. Mix with a paddle attachment for 2 minutes. Remove and use dough hook to knead dough for 2-3 minutes. Remove and put in a greased bowl. Cover with saran wrap and allow to rise 2 hours in a warm place (I put it on top of my dryer). Divide dough into two balls. Using hands, knead 1 Tbsp of softened butter into each dough ball. Put into a 9inch cake pan (or deep dish pizza pan) and allow to rise and additional 1-2 hours in a warm place.
- Brown italian sausage in a large skillet, breaking up into small chunks. Make sure your sausage is removed from the casings. If you can't find the HOT Italian sausage, add a pinch or two of red pepper flakes. Drain sausage completely.
- In a large pot, combine tomatoes, salt, pepper, oregano, basil and garlic salt. Simmer while dough rises on low heat (about 1-2 hours).
- When ready to assemble pizzas, press dough lightly with fingertips to bottom and sides of pan. Lay 2 cups of shredded cheese in bottom of pizza. Top with browned sausage and about 2 1/2 cups of sauce.
- Bake in a 450 degree oven for 25 minutes. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes. Slice and eat. ENJOY!
Notes
- Don’t have time to make your own dough? You can use your favorite prepared pizza dough for this recipe. If you buy refrigerated or frozen dough, just make sure it comes to room temperature before you work with it and allow it to rise again in the pan before you proceed with the recipe. Tip: Many pizza restaurants will sell their uncooked dough if you ask!
- Make sure to use sausage with the casings removed!
