Welcome to New Food Friday- hope everyone has an exciting weekend planned. I am going to a craft fair with my mother in law- so excited!! This week's New Food Friday was awesome- seriously so good- you should try it!

I found the recipe here. I followed the instuctions pretty closely, but did a few things different. The dough in this pizza was amazing, flavorful and soft! It was very filling though, but so good!

Chicago Style Garlic and Butter Pizza Crust-

1 package Active Dry Yeast

1 1/4 cup lukewarm water

3 1/4 cup flour (plus more for dusting)

1 tsp sugar

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 tsp salt

4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

1 clove garlic minced

Sauce-

2  15 oz. cans tomato sauce

2 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp oregano

1 tsp basil

1 tsp parsley

1 tsp minced onion

Toppings- Whatever you want, I used:

Cheddar Cheese

Mozzerella Cheese

Parmesan Cheese

Red Onion

Mushrooms

Green Pepper

Olives

Pepperoni

Bacon Bits

In large bowl dissolve yeast into 1/4 cup lukewarm water.

Add 1/4 cup flour and sugar and stir together.

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place- 20 minutes.

Stir in the remaining water, flour, cornmeal and salt.

Combine the butter and garlic- mix into the dough mixture.

Turn out onto floured workspace and knead until soft and elastive- 10-12 minutes.

Place in greased bowl and cover. Let rise for 1 hour.

Punch down dough- knead for 2-3 minutes.

Grease 9X13 inch baking pan- I used glass.

Roll out dough with rolling pin and lay in dish- bring it about 2 inches up edge of pan.

Let rise for 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 500 degrees.

Top the dough with sauce- you may not use all of the 2 cans, but be generous with the sauce.

Add toppings.

Turn oven to 450 degrees- bake for 30 minutes.
