1 tbsp shortening

1½ tbsp cornmeal

¾ oz yeast, (1 packet)

1⅔ water

2½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup dry milk powder, instant, non-fat

2 tbsp sugar

¼ tsp salt

1½ tsp oil

1⅓ cups pizza sauce, or to taste

2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded, or to taste

pizza toppings, of choice

Preheat oven to 475 degrees F. Oil a half sheet pan with shortening. Sprinkle pan with cornmeal and set aside.

In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in warm water and let it stand for 4 to 5 minutes.

Add flour milk, sugar, salt, and oil to the bowl. Mix with the whisk attachment for 10 minutes. The batter may be lumpy.

Spread batter into the prepared pan and let rest for 20 minutes.

Bake for 10 minutes.

Remove the crust from the oven and top with sauce, toppings, and cheese.

Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and starting to brown. Slice and serve.
