Step 1: Prepare the Dough<\/p>\n
1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, salt, sugar, and instant yeast.<\/p>\n
2. Add the water and melted butter. Mix until combined, then knead the dough (by hand or using a dough hook) until smooth and glossy, about 4\u20135 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Transfer the dough to a bowl greased with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Turn the dough to coat it in oil, cover tightly, and let it rise at room temperature until nearly doubled, about 45\u201360 minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 2: Make the Sauce<\/p>\n
1. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add grated onion, oregano, and salt. Cook until the onion is golden brown, about 5 minutes.<\/p>\n
2. Stir in garlic and cook for 30 seconds, then add crushed tomatoes and sugar. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until the sauce thickens to about 2\u00bd cups, about 25\u201330 minutes.<\/p>\n
3. Remove from heat and stir in basil, olive oil, and black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n
Step 3: Laminate the Dough<\/p>\n
1. Roll the risen dough into a 15\u00d712-inch rectangle. Spread softened butter evenly over the surface, leaving a \u00bd-inch border.<\/p>\n
2. Roll the dough into a tight cylinder, flatten into an 18\u00d74-inch rectangle, and cut in half. Fold each half into thirds like a letter, form into balls, and refrigerate for 40\u201350 minutes.<\/p>\n
Step 4: Prepare the Pans and Dough<\/p>\n
1. Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0F (220\u00b0C). Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with 2 tablespoons olive oil each.<\/p>\n
2. Roll out each dough ball into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to the pans, pressing the dough into the corners and up the sides by about 1 inch. Let rest if it resists stretching.<\/p>\n

Step 5: Assemble the Pizzas<\/p>\n
1. Sprinkle 2 cups of shredded mozzarella over each pizza. Add desired toppings and spread 1\u00bc cups of sauce evenly over the top.<\/p>\n
2. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n
Step 6: Bake<\/p>\n
1. Bake in the preheated oven for 20\u201330 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.<\/p>\n
2. Let the pizzas cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.<\/p>\n
Consejos<\/p>\n
\u2022 Resting the Dough: If the dough resists stretching, let it relax for a few minutes before retrying.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Make Ahead: Prepare the dough and sauce a day in advance for convenience.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Customize Toppings: Use cooked sausage, mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for a unique flavor combination.<\/p>\n
Storage Options<\/p>\n
\u2022 Refrigeration: Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for the best texture.<\/p>\n
\u2022 Freezing: Wrap fully baked and cooled pizza slices in foil, then place in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.<\/p>\n
