Servings 1 12 inch deep dish pizza

Equipment

  • Large Bowl
  • Whisk
  • 12“ cast iron skillet

Ingredients
  

Dough

  • 2 cups all purpose flour
  • 3 Tbsp cornmeal
  • 1 ½ tsp instant dry yeast I like SAF instant
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • ¾ cup room temp water
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted (plus more butter for greasing)

Sauce

  • 1 28 oz can whole peeled San Marzano tomatoes crushed by hand
  • ¼ cup olive oil plus more for drizzling
  • Kosher salt and pepper

Toppings

  • 12 oz thinly sliced low moisture mozzarella
  • 3 oz sliced pepperoni you just need enough to cover the bottom of the pizza all over*
  • Grated pecorino romano
  • Fresh basil leaves torn

Instructions
 

  • Begin by making the dough. In a large bowl add flour, cornmeal, yeast, and salt. Whisk to combine.
  • Add in water and honey. Mix together using your hands until combined.
  • Add melted butter and continue to mix until incorporated.
  • Turn dough out on to a very lightly floured surface, and knead for about 3-5 minutes until a smooth ball is formed. Add dough to a clean bowl, cover and let rise for 1 hour.
  • Next prepare the sauce. Simply mix the tomatoes and olive oil. Season with a touch of salt and pepper. Set aside.
  • After an hour of rising is up, preheat the oven to 425ºF. Continue to let dough rise while the oven is heating.
  • When oven is hot, form the pizza. Butter a 12 inch cast iron skillet.
  • Press dough out all across the bottom of the cast iron and up the sides about half way.
  • Layer all the mozzarella slices all over the bottom of the crust. Next, layer the pepperoni out all over the cheese.
  • Add just enough sauce to cover the toppings (about 1 cup). You won’t use all the sauce**
  • Sprinkle the top all over with grated pecorino. Drizzle the whole pizza including the crust with olive oil.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes until deeply golden brown.
  • Drizzle with more olive oil if desired. Let cool 10 minutes before cutting. Enjoy! I like to serve the extra sauce on the side for dipping!

Notes

*Make sure not to go crazy with the sauce as the pizza may become too wet
**You can do any toppings you’d like!
