CREATE-A-PIZZA

INGREDIENTS

1 tbsp (15 mL) cornmeal
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) all-purpose flour
1 pkg (.25 oz/10 g) quick-rising dry yeast (see Cook’s Tip)
1 tsp (5 mL) sugar
1/2 tsp (2 mL) salt
1/2 cup (125 mL) very warm water (125°-130°F/52°-54°C)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
1/2 cup (125 mL) pizza sauce
1 1/2 cups (375 mL) assorted toppings such as chopped green bell pepper, chopped onion and sliced mushrooms (optional)
2 cups (500 mL) shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz/250 g)
1/4 cup (50 mL) grated fresh Parmesan cheese (1 oz/30 g)

Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Sprinkle flat Rectangle Pizza Stone with cornmeal; set aside. Combine flour, yeast, sugar and salt in medium mixing bowl. Add water and oil; stir until mixture forms a ball.
Place dough on lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 3‑4 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
Place dough in center of prepared baking stone; roll within 1 in. (2.5 cm) of edge. Spread pizza sauce onto crust to within 1/4 in. (6 mm) of edge. Top with assorted toppings, if desired; sprinkle with cheeses. Bake 16-18 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
