Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly grease or flour-coat two 12" round cooking sheets.

2. Combine 2 cups of flour with the instant yeast and salt in a large mixing bowl. Slowly add water and honey mixture, then add shortening. Mix for 2 minutes, or until well blended. Add remaining flour ¼ cup at a time until a soft dough begins to form.

3. Once the dough is slightly sticky, shape into a ball and place it on a floured surface. Knead the dough for about 4 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Divide the dough into 2-separate balls. With floured hands, spread 1 ball of dough onto each cooking sheet. Pinch the edges along the rim of the sheet to form a crust.

4. Spoon La Pizza sauce over the crust and spread evenly. Bake pizzas for 8 minutes.

5. In a separate bowl, combine three cheeses until well mixed. Remove pizzas from oven and cover evenly with cheese mixture. Return to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until cheese is fully melted, and crust is golden brown. Half-way through, rotate pizzas to cook evenly.

6. Garnish with basil, pepper, and extra Pecorino Romano cheese. Slice and serve.
