Ingredients
1 1/2cupswarm water
1TBSPyeast
1/2tspsugar
1egg
3TBSPdry milk
1tspsalt
2TBSPoil
4 - 4 1/2cupsflour
Instructions
In a large bowl combine the warm water, yeast and sugar. Allow to poof for a few minutes and add remaining ingredients. Stir until dough comes together and lightly knead until flour is fully incorporated. (Dough should be slightly sticky and thick.) Cover and allow to rise in a warm place for about 25 minutes.
Grease a large round baking sheet with 6 TBSP of oil and preheat oven to 400° F.
With greased hands shape dough into a ball and dredge bottom of dough into corn meal (this is optional but I like the hard crust that forms on the bottom of the crust this way, only lots of oil is crucial for this to work.) Transfer dough to the greased pan and spread out forming a border. Poke bottom of the dough and grease the edges using the excess oil from the pan. Spread sauce and layer toppings in the order given. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven for 25-30 minutes or until crust is nicely brown. Cut into squares or slices.
