Breads

Pizza Dough II - Deep Dish - 2016
​​Recipe courtesy of Ron Wozny

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 - 0.25-oz packet)
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup coarse cornmeal
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup canola oil 

PREPARATION
Mix the yeast and water together in a large mixing bowl with a fork until totally dissolved. Blend in 1 cup of flour, and all the cornmeal, salt, and oil. Mix well with a large spoon.

Continue stirring in the rest of the flour in 1/2-cup increments until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl. Put some flour on your hands and knead dough until it is no longer sticky, about 5-10 minutes, or use Kitchenaid mixer with a dough hook to knead.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm, dry, draft-free area for 45-60 minutes to rise until doubled. Punch it down and knead briefly.

If using a bread machine, simply put all the ingredients into your bread machine according to your manufacturer's directions and do a 1.5-lb or 2-lb dough cycle, kick back and let it do its work.

Press the dough into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pan. Let it rise for another 20 minutes before pre-baking. After the rise in the pan is finished, bake at 450F for 10 minutes. Then add the sauce, cheese, toppings, and then a thin layer of cheese on top. Bake at 400F for 15-20 minutes, depending on the amount of toppings you have. 

Notes: I add 3 TBS to the 1 cup of warm water. This gives it the perfect consistency when using the full amount of flour. When using my Kitchenaid stand mixer, I use the flat mixer attachment for everything except the last 1/2 cup of flour. When it's time to add the last of the flour, I switch to the dough hook. You will probably need to stop a few minutes in to hand knead the dry dough and flour at the bottom. Hand knead everything in the bowl for a minute or so, then let the dough hook do its job! 

Perfect with Ron's Pizza Sauce!​
