Servings: 6

FOR THE CRUST:
1 cup warm tap water (110-115 degrees f)
1 pkg active dry yeast
3 1/2 cups flour, divided use
1/2 cup coarse ground cornmeal
1 tsp salt
1/4 cup vegetable oil
FOR THE FILLING:
1 lb sausage, removed from the casing and crumbled
1 lb mozzarella cheese, sliced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (28 oz) can whole tomatoes, drained and coarsely crushed
3 tsp dried oregano (or 5 fresh basil leaves, shredded
4 tbsp freshly grated parmesan

TO PREPARE THE CRUST:
Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast with a fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and vegetable oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the sides of the bowl.

Flour your hands and the work surface and knead the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky.

Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to 60 minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk.

Punch dough down and knead it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan, until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan. Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

TO PREPARE THE FILLING:
While the dough is rising, prepare the filling ingredients. Cook the crumbled sausage until it is no longer pink, drain it of its excess fat; set aside.

TO ASSEMBLE AND BAKE:
When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the mozzarella cheese over the dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese. Top with the tomatoes. Sprinkle on the seasonings and parmesan cheese.

Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees.

Then lower the oven temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The crust will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.

Answer 3

The essential ingredients of Pizza are:

1) The base, which was originally a flat bread made from flour, yeast and water, something like pitta or naan.

2) A sweet-savory sauce, which is commonly a tomato based one.

3) A savory protein such as cheese.

If one is allergic to tomato one could easily substitute the sauce with a number of things, for example, an onion marmalade or a spicy apple-based sauce of some kind. In fact, I suspect that the concept of pizza is much older than tomatoes, which only arrived in Italy around the mid 16th Century.

If, additionally, one doesn't like cheese or is lactose intolerant, then one could use almost any savory protein, such as ground beef, pork or chicken, fish, such as tuna and anchovy, or something like tofu or quorn, which can be flavoured to be an equivalent of cheese.

If one regards cheese and tomato as essential ingredients for a pizza base, then I would say that one has to have a salty cured meat as well, such as salami or chorizo, prosciuto, mocetta or just plain bacon or ham. Personally, I also like plenty of chilli on my pizza!

A History of Pizza shows what a varied and staple food it really is. Not just something which has always arrived on the back of an L-plated scooter!
