Preparation
Step 1
Brown the beef and drain. Add onion and garlic and cook on medium/low for 5 minutes. Add tomato paste, water, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, marjoram, and thyme. Stir, cover, and let simmer on low while you prepare the dough.
Preheat your oven to 450*F.
In your mixer bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water. Let it sit until it gets creamy, around 10 minutes.
Stir in flour, salt, and oil. Use the dough hook and mix until smooth and elastic. Let rest for 5 minutes or so while you prepare the pan.
Grease your cookie sheet, including the sides. I used a standard jelly roll pan. Sprinkle the bottom with cornmeal. Set aside.
Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface and flip over, shaping into a ball. If it's sticky, sprinkle flour on it. Place the dough ball in the middle of your pan and smash it and spread it around the pan including up the sides. Use your fingers to form the crust edges.
Sprinkle one bag of mozzarella cheese on the crust. Cover with half the meat sauce. Sprinkle second bag of mozzarella cheese over the meat sauce.
Bake at 450*F for around 15-20 minutes.
