# Directions:
01 -
Place water and sugar in a large mixing bowl. Stir until sugar dissolves. Sprinkle yeast over the water and stir a few times. Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
02 -
Add 2 cups of flour and salt. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined. Add oil and mix well. Add the third cup of flour and stir it in with a wooden spoon.
03 -
Place dough onto a floured surface and knead in the last cup of flour. Knead until smooth and no longer sticky. It should be smooth.
04 -
Place the dough into an oiled large bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and place in a warm draft-free area until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
05 -
Prep the pizza pans by lightly greasing them and sprinkling with cornmeal.
06 -
Punch the dough down, transfer back onto the floured surface, and smooth out into a ball. Divide into two equal pieces.
07 -
Roll out one piece into a circle, about the size of your pizza pan. Place on the pizza pan, stretching the sides. Preheat the oven to 420°F. Bake the pizza dough for 7 minutes.
08 -
Brush the sides of the pizza with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cornmeal. Spread 1 cup of pizza or spaghetti sauce over the dough. Top with pepperoni, onion, pepper, cheese, mushrooms, and olives.
09 -
Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling and the sides are golden. Repeat with the second pizza dough.
