  • tablespoons cornmeal yellow stone-ground
  • teaspoon honey 
  • 1.5 teaspoons olive oil 
  • tablespoons parmesan cheese fresh finely grated
  • ounces part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 0.5 cup part-skim ricotta 
  • servings spicy pizza sauce 
  • 0.3 teaspoon salt 
  • 0.5 cup warm water 100° to 110°

Equipment

  • bowl
  • baking sheet
  • oven

  • measuring cup

Directions

  1. To prepare dough, dissolve honey and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.
  2. Add 1 cup flour and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 6 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel slightly sticky).
  3. Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and chill 1 hour.
  4. Position one oven rack in the middle setting. Position another rack in the lowest setting, and place a rimless baking sheet on the bottom rack. Preheat oven to 50
  5. Roll dough into a 13-inch circle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface.
  6. Place dough on a rimless baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim.
  7. Brush oil over dough.
  8. Remove preheated baking sheet from oven; close oven door. Slide dough onto preheated baking sheet, using a spatula as a guide.
  9. Bake on lowest oven rack at 500 for 5 minutes.
  10. Remove from oven.
  11. Spread Spicy Pizza Sauce in an even layer over crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border.
  12. Combine mozzarella and ricotta; sprinkle evenly over sauce. Top with Parmesan.
  13. Bake on middle rack an additional 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese melts.
  14. Sprinkle with basil.
  15. Cut into 8 wedges.
