DIRECTIONS
|
|
1:
Prepare Deep Dish Pizza Dough
and let it rise. While dough rises, make Fresh
Tomato Sauce, then set it aside. Preheat oven to 450° F. While dough rises, heat oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add
onion, mushrooms, and red pepper. Cook, stirring often, until onion is
soft, mushrooms brown lightly, and
any mushroom liquid evaporates. Mix
in garlic, salt, oregano, pepper, and
marjoram, then remove from heat.

2:
Grease a 14-inch deep-dish pizza
pan (about 2 inches deep). Divide
dough into two portions, one about a
third larger than the other. Roll
larger portion of dough out on a
floured surface to about a 14-inch circle. Use your hands to pat
and stretch dough to fit into pan,
pressing it against sides of
pan to reach top edge.

3:
Sprinkle evenly with 3 cups of the
jack cheese. Spread vegetable
mixture over cheese. Roll out remaining dough to a 14-inch circle; place over vegetables,
pressing edge against dough already
in pan. Fold dough lining pan over
top layer.

4:
Spread tomato sauce over top layer
of dough. Sprinkle evenly with remaining
1 cup jack cheese. Top with
Parmesan cheese. Bake on lowest rack of oven until
crust browns well and cheese is richly
browned (25 to 30 minutes). Let
stand for 2 to 3 minutes before
cutting into wedges to serve.
