Toppings:

  • 1 lb (4 cups) freshly shredded mozzarella
  • 1 lb bulk Italian sausage, browned and crumbled
  • 4 TB freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Using stand mixer and dough hook, mix flour, cornmeal, yeast, sugar, and salt on low until combined. Add water and three TB melted butter and blend 2 minutes, scraping down bowl as required . Increase speed to medium and knead until dough is glossy and smooth, 4-5 minutes. Pliable dough should shy away from sides of bowl.
  2. Coat large bowl with vegetable oil and place dough ball in bowl. Turn dough around within the bowl to make sure all sides of dough are protected by oil. Cover bowl tightly with wrapping and let rise at room temp until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Notes

Feel free to play with the toppings, but do make certain to follow instructions for order of topping with regard to cheese vs. sauce.

Prep time already includes time it takes for dough to rise.
