1. Place a rack in top-most position of oven; preheat to 475°F. Place dough on a work surface; drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil, turning to coat. Stretch out to a 10" round and cover loosely with plastic wrap, while preparing the toppings.
2. Carefully lay dough inside a well seasoned cast-iron skillet, using your fingers to help extend dough all the way to the edges. Season with salt, crushed red pepper flakes and crushed garlic and drizzle remaining olive oil on top.
3. Place the cast iron pan in the preheated oven until crust is lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Remove skillet from the oven, spread marinara over entire dough surface. Top with mozzarella cheese, mushrooms and red onions. Return skillet to the oven and bake on the top rack until crust is deep golden brown around the edges and cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes, then top with sundried tomatoes and basil.

1. For the dough: Mix all the ingredients for the pizza dough EXCEPT for the cornmeal together, and stir until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for a few minutes until it comes together into a smooth ball. Place the dough ball back in the mixing bowl and cover with plastic wrap or a light dishcloth. Set in a warm place to rise for 30 minutes. While the dough rises, prepare your pan. I used a 10 inch cast iron skillet, greased with olive oil. Sprinkle the cornmeal in the pan - it will give the crust a nice texture on the bottom. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
2. Assemble and bake the pizza: After the dough has risen, roll it out into a 11" circle. Gently press the pizza dough into the prepared pan and bake the crust for 4-5 minutes.Remove pan from the oven and spread the sauce onto the dough, and add large chunks of the mozzarella. Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, if desired. Add the cooked sausage. Bake the pizza for 4-5 minutes, or until the cheese has started to melt. Remove the pan from the oven and add the tomato slices, and return the pizza to the oven for 5 more minutes.
3. Finish it off: Add the fresh basil leaves to the top of the pizza, sprinkle with parmesan, and serve immediately!
4. Store: Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 2 days.
