CAST IRON BUTTERY DEEP DISH PIZZA CRUST
Ah, another pizza recipe... I sure do like pizza. This particular one is baked in a cast-iron skillet (or similar ovenproof skillet), and comes out with a buttery crunchy crust. The secret is a hot skillet, and a hot oven. This is my fourth try on this recipe... I need to get on the treadmill :-) So, you ready... let's get...

Steps:
- 1. PREP/PREPARE
- 2. THE DOUGH
- 3. Gather your ingredients.
- 4. Add the flour, cornmeal, yeast, oregano, basil, sugar, and the salt to a large bowl.
- 5. Mix to combine.
- 6. Chef's Tip: The making of the dough is best accomplished using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
- 7. Add the melted butter, and the warm water.
- 8. Mix until the ingredients are combined, and the dough begins to crawl up the hook, about 3 to 5 minutes.
- 9. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, and kneed for about two minutes. It should be elastic, and slightly sticky.
- 10. Place a bit of olive oil into a large bowl.
- 11. Add the dough, and turn to coat.
- 12. Tightly cover the bowl with cling wrap.
- 13. Place the bowl somewhere out of the way on your countertop, and allow the dough to rest for 1 to 3 hours, or until doubled in size.
- 14. Chef's Tip: You can speed the process up by heating up your oven to about 180f (82c), turning it off, and then placing the covered bowl in the oven.
- 15. After the allotted time, remove the cling foil.
- 16. Place on a lightly floured surface, and pat out, or roll into a rough rectangle.
- 17. Spread the softened butter over the top.
- 18. Roll the dough up, as you would dough for cinnamon buns.
- 19. Form into a ball, and place back into the bowl.
- 20. Chef's Note: DO NOT kneed the dough, just carefully shape into a ball.
- 21. Cover and place into the refrigerator, for about an hour.
- 22. Remove from refrigerator, and place onto a lightly floured surface.
- 23. Roll out into a circle, big enough to cover the bottom of a 10-inch (25cm) cast iron skillet.
- 24. Coat the bottom and sides of the skillet with the olive oil.
- 25. Carefully add the dough, and gently fit it to the skillet.
- 26. Cover the skillet and allow the dough to rest for 1 hour.
- 27. Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 425f (220c).
- 28. Add the toppings to your pizza... Your choice.
- 29. Chef's Note: I use a tasty sauce with pepperoni, sausage, and a good buffalo mozzarella.
- 30. Brush a bit of olive oil on any exposed dough.
- 31. Place the skillet on the stove over medium-high heat, and cook for 2 to 4 minutes.
- 32. Chef's Tip: This will help to crisp up the bottom of the crust.
- 33. Add the skillet to the preheated oven, and bake until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 12 to 15 minutes.
- 34. PLATE/PRESENT
- 35. Since this is pizza, serve it casual style with a nice cold beer, or beverage of choice. Enjoy.
- 36. Keep the faith, and keep cooking.
