Step 1: Preheat oven to 450. Make dough...in a cuisinart measure 2 3/4 cups white flour 3/4 cup wheat flour, one package yeast, and 1tsp course salt. turn on and slowly pour in luke warm water until dough forms a ball. Keep machine on for one minute. Take dough out, form ball and put in a greased bowl to rise in a warm spot for one hour.
Step 2: After dough rises, take out of bowl and press into a bar pan that has corn meal spread on the bottom.
Step 3: Using a brush, brush olive oil on dough. If you have some Pizza Seasoning from Penzey's sprinkle on top. If you do not...Buy some here!
Step 4: Put the crust in a 450 degree oven...while the crust is pre-cooking...make sauce.I made a quick sauce here by blending a can of diced tomatoes in the cuisinart...
I crushed one clove of garlic and let it cook for a few minutes in a tbls of olive oil...
Then, I added the blended tomatoes, along with a tsp of oregano, a pinch of sugar, salt, pepper and a 1/2 tsp of onion powder and cooked for ten minutes until the crust was done.
When I took the crust out of the oven, I slipped the crust on to a pizza peel. I did this because I like to finish the pizza without the pan so the bottom crust gets nice and brown...but this is optional. You could leave it in the pan if you wanted.
Step 5: Add Sauce, romano cheese, onions, pepperoni, peppers, mushrooms and shredded cheese...(or whatever toppings you like).
Step 6: Slide pizza in the oven for ten to 15 minutes...I like my cheese brown-ish.
Step 7: Take out pizza and slice...and there you go...
