| Dough Preparation
In a large bowl, mix water, milk, brown sugar, salt and shortening with an electric mixer on a low speed for about 1 minute.
Add corn meal, olive oil and yeast, and continue mixing it for one minute. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Add the remaining flour and mix it with your hands.
Turn the dough out on a lightly floured surface and knead the dough about 8 to 10 minutes.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a covered bowl at an ambient temperature of 70°F-85°F. Let it rest about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
Push down the dough and make a 12" to 14" circle with your hands or a rolling pin, if you prefer. See more specific instructions for Panning the Pizza Dough in our "How To Make Pizza" section.
Rub the olive oil on the baking sheet and place the pizza dough on it, let it rest for another 45 minutes.
Assembly & Baking
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Brush the olive oil in the area of the pizza dough on the center, but not brush on the outer ring of the dough.
Spread the pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese and your favorite toppings on the dough.
Place the pizza into the oven on the lowest rack, reduce your oven temperature to 375°F, and bake about 8 to 10 minutes, or, until the crust has browned and the toppings are bubbly. | |
