Ingredients:
1 pkg dry yeast
1 1/3 c warm water (110 to 115 degrees)
1 t sugar
3 1/2 c unbleached flour
1 c cake flour
1 1/2 t salt
1 c plus 2 T olive oil
3 t minced garlic
(1) 15-oz can tomato sauce
(1) 12-oz can tomato paste
2 t oregano
2 t basil
2 c sliced mushrooms
Salt and pepper
1 lb Italian sausage (hot or sweet)
1/2 t crushed fennel seeds
2 T butter
8 c blanched, roughly chopped broccoli
1 T shortening
3 1/2 c grated mozzarella cheese
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
Direction:
Dissolve yeast in warm water; stir in sugar. Combine
flours and salt, and gradually add the dissolved yeast
and 1/4 cup of the oil. Knead until the texture is
smooth. Put in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap,
and let rise until triple in bulk (2-3 hours).
Meanwhile, prepare the fillings. Heat 1/4 cup of the oil
in a sauté pan, add 2 t garlic, and cook for 30 seconds
(without browning.) Stir in the tomato sauce and paste,
simmer until thickened. Stir in basil and oregano, set
aside to cool.
Head 2 T of the oil and saute the mushrooms until
lightly browned and the liquid is evaporated. Season to
taste, and set aside to cool. Remove and discard the
casings from sausage, crumble and add the sausage to the
pan along with fennel. Cook thoroughly, remove and cool.
Heat the butter and 2 T of the oil; at 1 t of garlic and
stir for 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli until coated
well and any liquid is evaporated. Season to taste; set
aside.
When the dough has risen, punch down. Cut off about 2/5
of it and set aside. Grease a 14 x 1 1/2" deep-dish
pizza pan with the shortening. On a floured board, rule
out 3/5 of the dough to a 20" circle. Fit to the pan,
letting the excess dough hang over the side. Brush the
dough with 1 T of the oil; sprinkle with salt. Sprinkle
1 c of the mozzarella over the dough. Spread the tomato
sauce across the cheese, spread the mushrooms over the
tomatoes, and cover with 1 c of mozzarella. Roll out the
remaining dough to approximately a 14" circle. Brush the
sides of the dough inside the pan with water. Fit the
14" round into the pan. Press edges (pull if necessary)
against
the moistened dough to seal it. Trim the overhanging
dough to 1/2" and wet it again. Fold inward and crimp to
form a raised rim around the pan edge. Cut a steam vent
in the top layer of the dough, and brush with 1 T of the
oil. Spread the sausage across the dough and cover with
the broccoli. Combine the remaining cheeses and sprinkle
across the broccoli; drizzle with 1/4 c of oil. Bake in
a preheated 425 degree oven for 30-40 minutes. Freezes
well.
Ideas: put the broccoli and sausage on the lower layer,
and the
tomatoes and mushrooms on the top layer. This way the
broccoli stays
moist.
For a vegetarian pizza, replace the sausage with 4 c
sliced onions,
lightly browned in 2 T oil. Or, you can keep the sausage
and add the
onions anyway.
