Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare Dough: In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast; let sit for 5 minutes until foamy. In a large mixing bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal, salt, butter, and olive oil. Gradually mix in yeast mixture, knead for 5 minutes, then rise for 1.5 hours.
- Prepare Filling: Heat butter in a skillet, add sausage, and cook until browned (7-10 minutes). In the same skillet, sauté onions, bell pepper, and garlic until soft (about 5 minutes). Combine with sausage.
- Make Sauce: Heat olive oil in a saucepan, add crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, pepper, and sugar. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until thickened.
- Assemble Pizza: Preheat oven to 425°F. Roll out dough and press into pizza pan. Layer mozzarella cheese on dough, then sausage and vegetable mixture, and pour prepared sauce over top.
- Bake: Place pizza in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is bubbly. Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor, and allow the pizza to cool before slicing to prevent messiness.
