Equipment

1 10-inch Cast Iron Skillet

Ingredients

For the dough

1 cup Warm water
1 packet Active dry yeast 2 ¼ tsp
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 tsp Salt
2 cups All-purpose flour plus more if needed
⅓ cup Corn meal optional, see below
3 tablespoon Butter melted
1 tablespoon Olive oil

For the filling

¾ Jar BLENDABELLA Coconut Thai Blend
8 oz Fresh Mozzarella grated / shredded
1 cup Marinara Sauce

Other Ingredients

2 tablespoon Olive oil
4 leaves Basil leaves for garnish
1 tablespoon Parmesan grated for garnish
1 tablespoon Butter

Instructions

Step I - For the dough

In a large bowl, add warm water and sugar. Sprinkle yeast. Cover it and leave it undisturbed for 10 minutes. Let the yeast activate.
1 cup Warm water, 1 packet Active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon Sugar
Add in salt, corn meal, butter and flour little by little and mix. Transfer the dough to lightly floured surface and knead it nicely for about 5 to 6 minutes till you get a soft, smooth and relatively elastic dough.
1 teaspoon Salt, ⅓ cup Corn meal, 3 tablespoon Butter, 2 cups All-purpose flour
Transfer the dough to bowl coated with olive oil. Cover and keep it in warm place for 1 hour 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
1 tablespoon Olive oil

Step II

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Once the dough has risen, transfer it to working surface and press it out into round shape. I have used 10 inch cast iron skillet. Stretch the dough 3 or 4 inch bigger than the size of the pan you are using.
Brush your cast-iron pan with 1 to 2 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough on to the pan.
2 tablespoon Olive oil
Nicely stretch and pull so that the dough is distributed evenly on the bottom and the sides of the pan. Trim any excess dough. You can make some bread sticks or flatbread pizza using any left over dough.

Step III

Add a very thick layer of fresh mozzarella cheese. Spread a layer of marinara sauce followed by thick layer of BLENDABELLA Coconut Thai blend.
¾ Jar BLENDABELLA Coconut Thai Blend, 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella, 1 cup Marinara Sauce
You can top this with some more mozzarella cheese and fresh Parmesan. Brush the edges with some butter to get nice golden brown color.
1 tablespoon Parmesan grated, 1 tablespoon Butter
Bake for about 30 to 35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown in color. Allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before you slice the pizza.
Thai Style Deep Dish Pizza is now ready. Garnish with some fresh basil leaves. Serve and enjoy.
4 leaves Basil leaves

Notes

Corn meal is optional, you can substitute this with all-purpose flour. It is mainly added to get the additional crunchiness and flavor.
