Instructions
to make the dough:
Place water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves.
Sprinkle yeast over the water and stir few times. Let sit until foamy ( about 5 minutes).
Add 2 cups of flour and salt. Mix in with a wooden spoon until combined.
Add oil and mix well.
Add third cup of flour and stir it in with a wooden spoon.
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead it the last cup of flour.
Knead the dough until smooth and no longer sticky. It should be smooth.
Place the dough into a oiled large bowl, cover with a kitchen towel.
Place in a warm and draft-free place until doubles in size, about 1 hour.
In the meantime, prep the pizza pans by lightly greasing them and sprinkling with cornmeal.
Punch the dough down. Transfer back onto the floured surface. Smooth out into a ball.
Divide into two equal pieces.
Roll out one piece into a circle, about the same size as your pizza pan. Place on the pizza pan, stretching the sides.
Preheat the oven to 420 degrees F.
Place the pizza dough in the oven and bake for 7 minutes.
assembly:
Brush the sides of the pizza with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cornmeal.
Spread one cup of pizza or spaghetti sauce over the dough.
Top with pepperoni, onion, pepper, cheese, mushrooms and olives.
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbles and the sides are golden.
Repeat with the second pizza dough.
