Yield 12 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 23

2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cornmeal
1 package (1/4 ounce) quick-rise yeast
1-1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil
TOPPINGS:
1/2 pound sliced fresh mushrooms
4 teaspoons olive oil, divided
1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, well drained
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
1 can (6 ounces) tomato paste
2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried basil

3 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
1 pound bulk Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
24 slices pepperoni, optional
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, yeast, sugar and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.

Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes., In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms in 2 teaspoons oil until tender. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic and seasonings., Generously grease a 13x9-in. baking pan or dish with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Punch dough down. Roll out into a 15x11-in. rectangle. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of pan. Sprinkle with 2 cups mozzarella cheese., Spoon half of the sauce over the cheese (save remaining sauce for another use or for dipping). Layer with the sausage, sauteed mushrooms and, if desired, pepperoni; top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese. , Cover and bake at 450° for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake about 5 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with basil if desired.

This deep-dish pizza was a little too cheesy for my taste, but it was still delicious. I would recommend using less cheese next time.

The crust was a little too thick for my taste, but the toppings were delicious. I would definitely try this recipe again with a thinner crust.
