Directions
Start by mixing the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and yeast together in a bowl. Add water and melted butter and knead until a dough ball forms.
Roll the dough out, spreading 2 tablespoons of softened butter on top. Fold over, roll out again and coat with another 2 tablespoons of butter.
Place in a bowl with 1 teaspoon of oil, covering with plastic wrap. Let it rise for 45-60 minutes.
While the dough is rising, make the sauce - melt butter in a pan and add onion, oregano, and salt, sauteing until the onion has fully softened.
Add garlic, tomatoes, and sugar, simmering until reduced to about 2 1/2 cups. Off the heat, stir in basil and oil. Season with pepper.
After the dough has risen, roll it out into a round disk to place in your deep-dish pizza pan.
Layer the cheese, your chosen pizza toppings, and then the tomato sauce.
Bake at 425F for 20-30 minutes. Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Allow the pizza to rest 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
