Mama Rachel’S Mediterranean Pizza

• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110u0b0 to 115u0b0)
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2-1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons cornmeal
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 2 large tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup pitted kalamata olives, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 6 fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, oil, salt and 1 cup flour; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a stiff dough.
2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 45 minutes.
3. Preheat oven to 400u0b0. Grease two 12-in. pizza pans; sprinkle with cornmeal. Punch down dough; divide in half. Press to fit pans. Pinch edges to form a rim. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
4. Increase oven setting to 450u0b0. Brush crusts with oil; top with garlic, mozzarella cheese, tomatoes, olives and Parmesan cheese. Bake 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden and cheese is melted. Sprinkle with pepper flakes and basil.
