PIZZA CRUST:
2 pkg quick rise dry yeast
2 cups tepid water 90*
1/2 cup salad oil
4 TBS olive oil
1/2 cup cornmeal
5 1/2 cups flour
In the bowl of your electric mixer - KitchenAid is perfect for this -
dissolve the yeast in the water. Add the oils, cornmeal, and 3 cups of
the flour. Beat for l0 minutes with the mixer. Add the dough hook and mix in
the additional 2 l/2 cups flour. Knead for several minutes with the
machine. It is hard to do this by hand since the dough is very rich and moist.
Pour out the dough on a plastic countertop and cover with a very
large metal bowl. Allow to rise until double in bulk. Punch down and allow to
rise again. Punch down a second time and you are ready to make pizza!
Oil round cake pans. Put a bit of dough in each and push it out to
the edges, using your fingers. (Smith oils his with olive oil.) Put in
enough dough so that you can run the crust right up the side of the pan. Make it
about l/8 inch thick throughout the pan.
THE FILLING FOR A 9 OR 10 INCH PAN
l/3 lb. sliced mozzarella chese
2 cups canned plum tomatoes, drained and squished
l tsp. basil
l tsp. oregano
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
salt to taste
3 Tbs. grated Parmesan cheese for topping
3 Tbs. olive oil
Place the cheese in tile like layers on the bottom of the pie. Next,
put in the tomatoes and the basil, oregano, garlic, and salt, reserving
the Parmesan cheese for the top.l Drizzle the olive oil over the top of the
pie and you are ready to bake.
ADDITIONAL VARIATIONS:
Before you put on the Parmesan cheese and olive oil
drizzle you might like to add any or all of the following:
Italian Sausage - hot or mild
Yellow onions, peeled and diced
Pepperoni, sliced thin
Mushrooms, sliced
Green sweet bell peppers, cored and sliced thin
Put any or all of these on your pie and then top with the Parmesan and the
olive oil.
BAKING THE PIE
Bake the pie in a 475' oven until the top is golden and gooey and the
crust a light golden brown. This should take about 35 or 40 minutes.

NOTES : JULIE'S NOTE: If the pizza is not what you expected - just come to Chicago and try the real thing at Uno's - it is the best.
