Recipe: Dad's Favorite Pizza (with ground beef, Italian sausage, ham, and pepperoni)

DAD'S FAVORITE PIZZA

FOR THE PIZZA DOUGH:
1 (1/4 ounce) package active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water
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
FOR THE TOPPING:
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk italian sausage
1 small onion, chopped
2 cans (8 ounces each) pizza sauce
1 (4 1/2 ounce) jar sliced mushrooms, drained
1 (3 ounce) package sliced pepperoni
1/2 pound deli ham, cubed
1/2 cup chopped pitted green olives
1 (2 1/4 ounce) can chopped ripe olives, drained
1 1/2 cups (6 ounces) shredded part skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese

TO PREPARE THE PIZZA DOUGH:
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add butter, eggs, grated parmesan and salt. Add 2 cups flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.

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.

TO PREPARE THE PIZZA:
Punch down dough; let rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 14 in deep dish pizza pan; sprinkle bottom with cornmeal.

Press dough into pan; build up edges slightly.

In a large skillet, cook beef, sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink, drain.

Spread pizza sauce over dough; sprinkle with meat mixture. Top with mushrooms, pepperoni, ham, olives, mozzarella and shredded parmesan.

Bake at 400 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
