V's Pepper Blue Pizza

I just one first prize in a contest sponsored by http://www.igourmet.com for the best pizza recipe. I have to say I am SO excited! The requirements were to use at least one ingredient that they carry -- I used five, the 2 cheeses, pepperoni, peppers and tomato puree can all be found on their website. I think the combination of flavors will speak for itself.

• Ready In: 45 mins
• Serves: 4-6
• Yields: 1 Pizza

Ingredients

• 1⁄4 ounce  yeast
• 1  cup warm water
• 1 1⁄2 cups white flour
• 1  cup wheat flour
• 1  teaspoon  garlic salt
• 1  teaspoon dried basil
• 1  teaspoon dried oregano
•  cornmeal
•  olive oil
• 1  cup  cal valls organic tomato puree
• 1  cup Peppadew pepper (I prefer mild)
• 2  cups  grated fontal cheese
• 1  cup  crumbled crater lake blue cheese
• 1⁄2 cup  thinly sliced molinari  pepperoni

Directions

1. Combine yeast and water in a non-metallic bowl and stir until dissolved.
2. In a separate bowl combine the flours and spices.
3. When yeast starts to bubble, add the dry ingredients and mix well.
4. Place dough in a non-metallic bowl greased with olive oil, roll the dough until all of it is greased, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size – about 1 hour.
5. Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal onto your pizza pan.
6. Roll dough out on a floured board to fit your pizza pan (I use 14 or 16 inch pan depending on how thick I want my crust).
7. Preheat oven to 450 degrees – bake dough in the oven for 10 minutes or until the center of the crust looks firm. (I do this only because my oven does not get as hot as I would like it to for pizza. If you have a pizza oven, then there is no need to pre-bake the crust.).
8. Remove dough from oven and apply toppings below.
9. Apply layer of tomato puree onto the pizza crust (I usually use about ½ can).
10. Sprinkle the fontal cheese on top of the sauce.
11. Apply a generous amount of peppadew peppers over the fontal cheese (at least ½ jar) I leave the peppers whole, but you can cut in half if you prefer.
12. Apply the sliced pepperoni.
13. Apply the crumbled blue cheese.
14. Brush a bit of olive oil on the rim of the pizza.
15. Return to the 450 degree oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
