Ingredients

Crust

1 1/2 cups water

1 teaspoons sugar

2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (one packet)

3 1/2 cups flour

1/2 cup yellow cornmeal

1 teaspoons salt

1/2 cup olive oil

Toppings

1 1/4 lb Sliced mozzarella or provolone cheese

Other toppings (Italian sausage, pepperoni, onion...)

1 can Crushed tomatoes (28 oz)

Oregano, basil, garlic...

Grated parmesan cheese

Directions

Add all ingredients except oil to a mixing bowl and mix with a dough hook on low speed till the ingredients are combined.

Add oil and mix another 7 minutes. The dough should make a moist smooth ball, not sticky.

Cover and let rise.

Or use a bread-maker.

Heat oven to 400°.

Coat the bottom of a well-seasoned 15x2" deep-dish pan (or a 15" cast-iron skillet) with olive oil.

Place dough in the center of the pan and press it out until it covers the bottom and up the sides of the pan.

Cover the dough with sliced cheese.

Add whatever toppings you want. (Italian sausage is popular in Chicago.)

Pour tomatoes on top and spread out.

Add spices and grated parmesan cheese.

Bake at 400° for 30-40 minutes.

Allow to cool for 15 minutes.

I'm particularly fond of Italian sausage on home-made pizza so this sounds terrific for me .I could eat those fennel flavoured sausages all day long !!
