The surface of the pizza is filled with cheese and a variety of toppings, including sausage, chicken, beef and other meat, as well as black olives, tomatoes, pineapple, and other rich vegetables and fruits. There are two kinds of pizza: meat and fruit. There are many kinds of meat: chicken pizza, beef pizza, salmon pizza, bacon pizza, ham pizza, pineapple, blueberry and so on.
In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, cornmeal, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120℉-130℉. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Step 2
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 30 minutes.
Step 3
In a large skillet, saute the mushrooms in 2 teaspoons oil until tender. In a large bowl, mix the tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic and seasonings.
Step 4
Generously grease a 13x9-in. baking pan or dish with the remaining 2 teaspoons oil. Punch dough down. Roll out into a 15x11-in. rectangle. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing onto the bottom and halfway up the sides of the pan. Sprinkle with 2 cups mozzarella cheese.
Step 5
Spoon half of the sauce over the cheese (save remaining sauce for another use or for dipping). Layer with the sausage, sauteed mushrooms and, if desired, pepperoni; top with the remaining mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Step 6
Cover and bake at 450℉ for 35 minutes. Uncover; bake about 5 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with basil if desired.
