- For the Dough:
- Directions:
- Make the Dough: In a small bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, mixing until dough forms. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
- Transfer dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Prepare the Pizza: Grease a 12-inch deep dish or cast-iron skillet with olive oil. Roll out the dough and press it into the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
- Layer the Toppings: Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the dough, then add the cooked sausage. Pour the crushed tomatoes over the top and spread evenly. Sprinkle with oregano, basil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
