Ingredients

1-1/2 cups water (70° to 80°)
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons olive oil
5 cups all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
3 tablespoons tomato paste
1 garlic clove, minced
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Dash crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 pound Italian sausage, cooked and crumbled
1/4 pound hard salami, diced
30 slices pepperoni
1/2 cup chopped red onion
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1 plum tomato, diced

Directions

In bread machine pan, place the first six ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes or mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed). When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and punch down; divide in half. Roll one portion into a 13-in. circle. Place on a greased 14-in. pizza pan.
In a bowl, combine the tomato sauce, tomato paste, garlic, Italian seasoning and pepper flakes. Spread 3/4 cup over dough to within 1 in. of edge. Sprinkle with the sausage, salami, pepperoni, onion, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese and 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese.
Roll the remaining dough into a 12-1/2-in. circle. Place over the pizza; seal edges. Cut four slits in top. Spread with the remaining sauce. Bake at 375° for 35 minutes. Sprinkle with diced tomato and remaining cheese. Bake 5-10 minutes longer or until golden brown.
