Chicago-Style Stuffed Pizza

• 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 2 tablespoons canola oil
• 1-1/2 teaspoons salt
• 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
• 1/2 pound bulk Italian sausage
• 1 small green pepper, diced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/3 cup chopped pepperoni
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/4 cup tomato sauce

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add sugar; let stand for 5 minutes. Add oil and salt. Add 1-1/2 cups flour and cornmeal; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 4-5 minutes. Place in a greased bowl; turn once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
3. Punch dough down; let rest for 5 minutes. Divide into two portions, one slightly larger than the other. On a lightly floured surface, roll out larger portion to a 12-in. circle. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a greased 10-in. ovenproof skillet.
4. Preheat oven to 375u0b0. In a large skillet, cook sausage, green pepper and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Drain. Stir in mozzarella cheese, pepperoni, Parmesan cheese and oregano. Add to prepared crust.
5. On a lightly floured surface, roll remaining dough into an 11-in. circle. Place over pizza; seal edges. Cut four slits in top. Bake 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Spread with tomato sauce.
