Ingredients

Dough

• 2 cups (250g) all-purpose flour
• 2 Tablespoons cornstarch, for crispiness
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 Tablespoons olive oil
• ½ cup (120ml) warm water

Toppings

• 1½ cups pizza sauce
• 4 cups provel or mozzarella cheese
• 1 cup Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
• 1 cup green bell pepper, diced small
• ½ cup onion, diced small
• 1 cup mushrooms, thinly sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 500°F on Stone Mode, placing a pizza stone or baking sheet inside.

Preheating to 500°F will take around 25 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the olive oil and warm water until a rough dough forms.

Knead for 1–2 minutes until smooth, then divide into two pieces. Let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.

Sprinkle flour on the countertop. Roll each piece very thin—about ⅛ inch. Transfer to parchment paper and continue rolling to the desired thinness.

Spread ½ cup of sauce evenly over each crust, covering the entire surface.

Sprinkle 2 cups of provel or mozzarella cheese per pizza.

Evenly distribute the sausage, green bell pepper, onion, and mushrooms.

Slide the pizzas onto the hot stone and bake for 7–9 minutes, until crispy and bubbly.

Cut into squares (St. Louis-style is traditionally "party cut" into squares).
