Directions
1. To first step to prepare this delicious deep-dish pizza is to take a large bowl and mix 1 ½ cups flour, cornmeal (substitute cornmeal with cornflour if you don't have cornmeal), yeast, sugar, and salt. Now, in a saucepan, heat water and oil. After heating, add this into the dry ingredients bowl and beat it until moistened. To form a stiff dough, add the remaining flour into the large bowl.

After kneading, place this dough in a greased bowl and turn the dough once, so you have a greased top. Cover the bowl. Let the dough rise by keeping the bowl in a warm place.

4. The following step is to put the toppings on top of the dough. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on each dough.
5. The next step is to take a large bowl and mix tomato sauce, tomato paste, and seasonings very well. Now spread 1 ½ cups of tomato sauce over each pizza. Layer each pizza with half of the sausage, pepperoni, olives, one cup of mozzarella and two tablespoons of parmesan cheese.
