When the dough is too thick to stir, turn out onto a floured surface, and knead for 5 minutes. Knead in a little more flour if the dough is too sticky. Place into an oiled bowl, cover, and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk.
• Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, preheat it in the oven as well, setting it on the lowest shelf.
• When the dough has risen, flatten it out on a lightly floured surface. Roll or stretch out into a 12 inch circle, and place on a baking pan. If you are using a pizza stone, you may place it on a piece of parchment while preheating the stone in the oven.
• Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with oregano, mozzarella cheese, basil, Romano cheese and red pepper flakes.
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bottom of the crust is browned when you lift up the edge a little, and cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool for about 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

NEW YORK-STYLE PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a small bowl, using a fork, stir the yeast into the lukewarm water. Set aside until the yeast dissolves, about 5 minutes.
• In another small bowl, combine the cold water, sugar, salt and olive oil (and optional italian seasoning). Stir to dissolve the sugar and salt.
• TO MAKE THE DOUGH BY HAND: Place 5 1/4 cups of the flour in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of the flour and stir in the yeast mixture along with the cold-water mixture. Using a wooden spoon, mix the dough, incorporating as much of the flour as possible.
• Turn the dough out on a lightly floured work surface and knead until soft and elastic, 10 to 12 minutes. It will still be a little sticky but shouldn't stick to your hands. Add only a minimum amount of flour to the work surface to keep the dough from sticking.
• TO MAKE THE DOUGH USING A STAND MIXER: Fit a heavy-duty stand mixer with the dough hook attachment. Place 5 1/4 cups of the flour in the mixer bowl. Add the yeast mixture along with the cold-water mixture and mix on low speed until the flour is incorporated and the dough gathers together to form a coarse ball, about 4 minutes. Let rest for 2 minutes.
• Mix on low speed until the dough is smooth and not sticky, about 6 minutes longer. (If the dough begins to climb up the dough hook toward the motor drive, stop the mixer and push it down. If the machine labors and the motor feels hot, stop and wait a few minutes for the motor to cool down.) Turn the dough out on a well-floured work surface and knead for a minute or two until it forms a smooth ball, adding up to 1/4 cup of additional flour, if necessary.
• PREP DOUGH FOR RISING: Cut the dough into thirds to form three even portions, each weighing 15 ounces. With floured hands, pick up one portion of dough and pull the opposite edges together, wrapping them underneath toward the center to form a tight, smooth ball. Pinch to seal. Repeat with the other two portions. Place each portion in plastic grocery bag, twist the top together and fold excess underneath. be sure to allow enough room for the dough to double in size in each bag.
• Refrigerate for at least 10 hours or up to 2 days. Remove from the refrigerator 1 hour before using to allow the dough to come to room temperature. Proceed with your favorite pizza recipe. Makes 45 ounces dough or three 15-ounce portions, enough for three 12-inch pizzas.

DEEP DISH PIZZA NEW YORK STYLE BY ROSE

Steps:

• 1. In a large mixing bowl add hot water, sugar and yeast, stir and let stand for at least 15 minutes until yeast foams. Stir in salt and olive oil. Mix the flour and cornmeal together. Add flour to water/yeast mixture one cup at a time and mix until dough forms. I use a dough hook on my kitchen aid mixer, it's sooo easy. Dust with a little flour at a time so the dough comes together and isn't sticky. Place dough in a slightly warmed large bowl greased with olive oil and keep covered and in a warm place for about 2 hours until the dough has doubled in size. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 3 or 4 minutes. Oil the bottom of a deep dish and spread the dough into the pan to the edge and form a crust edge. Drizzle dough with a little olive oil. Spread a layer of mozzerella, then sauce of your choice, then garlic, basil, oregano. At this time put on your sauce, then top with your mozzerella/provolone cheese and grated parmaseano/regiano cheese and your meat, olive and pineapple toppings or whichever toppings you like. Sprinkle with a little more basil and cheese if you like(just a little). Preheat oven to 450 and bake for at least 25 minutes, check at 20 for doneness, mine went to 30 and was perfect.
