Ingredients

• 1.25 cups warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, salt, and cornmeal.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture, olive oil, and melted butter.

Step 4

Mix the dough with a wooden spoon or your hands until it comes together. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add 1-2 tablespoons of flour until it feels tacky but manageable.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a clean, floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Lightly oil a large bowl and place the dough inside, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 7

Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch the dough down to release any air bubbles. Divide it into two equal portions if making smaller pizzas, or keep it whole for a large deep-dish pizza.

Step 9

Roll out the dough to fit your desired pan or pizza shape. For a deep-dish pizza, press the dough into a cast iron skillet or baking dish, ensuring it also covers the sides.

Step 10

Add your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings, then bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, then slice and enjoy!
