Ingredients
To make the crust:
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups flour
- 1/3 cup vegetable or corn oil
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- softened butter for greasing the pan
- 2 tablespoons corn meal
For the sauce:
- 28 ounce can whole peeled tomates
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- pinch of sugar
- pinch of salt
Toppings:
- 12 ounces deli sliced mozzarella cheese
- 6 ounces deli sliced provolone
- pepperoni sausage, onions, etc.
Instructions
To make the crust:
- Add the water and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Let sit 5 minutes.
- Add the flour, oil, sugar, and salt to the bowl and turn the mixer to low. Mix until just combined and increase speed to medium, kneading for 2 minutes.
- Place the dough ball into a large, greased bowl and set in a warm place for 6 hours.
- Lightly butter a 12 inch cast iron skillet. Sprinkle the corn meal in the skillet.
- Punch down the dough and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Place the dough in the skillet. Use your fingers to press it into the bottom of the skillet and up the sides.
- Bake for 10 minutes in a preheated 450 degree oven.
- While the crust is parbaking, prepare the sauce.
- Drain the whole tomatoes and place in a blender or food processor. Add the Italian seasoning, sugar, and salt and blend until the tomatoes are mostly broken up, but still somewhat chunky.
- Remove the crust from the oven and layer the cheese slices in the crust.
- Add your favorite toppings.
- Pour on about 1/2 cup of sauce. Use more or less, depending on how saucy you like your pizza. We go pretty easy on the sauce. (There will be quite a bit of leftover sauce. Freeze it in a freezer bag or refrigerate and use within 5 days.)
- Return to the oven and bake for 20 more minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted.
- Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
