Our daughter, Stephanie, makes this pizza for here dad whenever he has a craving for it. Meat eaters will definitely get their fill with a slice of this deep-dish delight.Nancy Jo Leffler, DePauw, Indiana Ingredients:
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 cup warm water (110° to 115°) |
1/2 cup butter, melted and cooled |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese |
1 teaspoon salt |
3 to 3-1/2 cups bread flour |
2 tablespoons yellow cornmeal |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/2 pound johnsonville® mild ground italian sausage |
1 small onion, chopped |
2 cans (8 ounces each) pizza sauce |
1 jar (4-1/2 ounces) sliced mushrooms, drained |
1 package (3 ounces) sliced pepperoni |
1/2 pound deli ham, cubed |
1/2 cup chopped pitted green olives |
1 can (4-1/4 ounces) chopped ripe olives, drained |
1-1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese |
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the butter, eggs, grated Parmesan, salt and 2 cups flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; let rest for 5 minutes. Grease a 14-in. deep-dish pizza pan; sprinkle bottom with cornmeal. Press dough into pan; build up edges slightly.
4. In a large skillet, cook the beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Spread pizza sauce over dough to within 1 in. of edges; sprinkle with meat mixture. Top with the mushrooms, pepperoni, ham, olives, mozzarella and shredded Parmesan.
5. Bake at 400° for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. Yield: 8 slices.
