How to Make Alfredo Deep Dish Pizza

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Stir in 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5. Grease a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan generously with olive oil.
6. Punch down the dough and transfer it to the prepared pan. Press and stretch the dough to fit the pan, forming a crust about ½ inch thick.
7. Cover the crust with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 25 minutes.
8. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
9. In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 4 tablespoons butter, and 4 ounces cream cheese. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
10. Stir in 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese and ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Continue to cook and stir for 15 minutes, or until the Parmesan is lightly browned and the sauce has thickened.
11. Spread the Alfredo sauce evenly over the pizza crust.
12. Top with 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese.
13. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
14. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
