Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 packages of rapid rise yeast
2 cups warm water
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup corn meal
5 + cups flour
2 28 oz cans whole peeled tomatoes
1/2 lb ball mozzarella (fresh!!)
1 clove of garlic
1/8 c grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • MAKING THE PIZZA 1) Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F 2) Punch the dough down again into a ball, cover, and allow it to rise again while you're doing the rest of this 3) Now prepare the ingredients. First, open both cans of whole peeled tomatoes and dump them into a colander. Then, get in there and start mushing these things to pieces. Seriously, squeeze them as hard as you can, break them up, DESTROY THEM. Get as much of the liquid out as you can, otherwise you'll have a really watery pizza. 4) Grate the mozzarella ball completely: 5) Mince one clove of garlic 7) Take your pan and lightly grease it with vegetable oil 8) Take about half the dough and make your crust. You want to have it at about 1/4? thickness covering the entire pan and sides, maybe about two inches tall. It's going to want to bunch up. Keep mushing it flat, or else you're going to have a very thick pizza. 9) After you've got your crust in place, add the cheese, evenly distributing it on the dough: 10) Next, add whatever toppings you have. As I said, I'm a big fan of sausage, peppers and onions; my girlfriend is not: 11) Now add your tomatoes, making sure to fully cover the pizza: 12) Finally, add the minced garlic (you don't have to use the whole clove if you don't like garlic), about 1/8 cup of Parmesan cheese, plus some basil, salt, and pepper to your liking. I wish I had exact measurements for this, but I just make it up each time. Drizzle some olive oil on top with a spoon. 13) And that's it! Pop it in the oven for 25 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown 14) Let it sit for about 5 or 10 minutes, then enjoy! Couple of notes: 1) The dough recipe, derived from PizzaMaking.com, makes enough for two 10? pies; 2) How long you keep the pizza in the oven depends on your oven; Your goal is to have the crust be crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside.
