Alfredo Deep Dish Pizza

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 (1/4 ounce) envelope active dry yeast
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 pint heavy cream
• 1/2 cup butter
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. 1

   In a bowl, mix the water, oil, and yeast. Stir in the flour. Roll into a ball, and transfer to a well-oiled bowl. Allow to rise 1 hour in a warm location, or until doubled in size.

2. 2

   Thoroughly grease a deep dish pizza pan. Punch down dough, and transfer to the pan. Cover dough with a cloth, and allow crust to rise 25 minutes, until puffy.

3. 3

   Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

4. 4

   In a saucepan over low heat, mix the cream, butter, and cream cheese, stirring constantly, until melted and well-blended. Mix in Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Continue to cook and stir 15 minutes, or until Parmesan is lightly browned. Spread over the pizza crust. Top with mozzarella cheese.

5. 5

   Bake 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until crust is lightly brown.
