Place your pizza stone in your oven on the middle rack.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees f.
In a large bowl, combine one cup of all-purpose flour, Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast, sugar, and salt in a bowl. Whisk until combined.
Add very warm water, and oil to dry mixture. Using a wooden spoon, combine mixture.
Slowly add in remaining flour. For this recipe, I used 2 + 1/4 cups of flour for the perfect consistency.
Dough will start to form a ball and will be slightly sticky.
Remove dough from the bowl.
Knead on a floured surface. If dough is too sticky sprinkle additional flour on it and work into the dough.
Allow Fleischmann’s^® RapidRise^® Instant Yeast dough to rest for 10 minutes.
Brown hamburger and sausage in a small skillet. Drain any excess grease and set aside.
Once it has rested, sprinkle 3 tbsps of cornmeal on the flip side of a large baking sheet.
Stretch and form dough ball into a 12 inch pizza crust using a rolling pin.
Place pizza crust on the cornmeal floured back side of the baking sheet.
Using a spoon, swirl sauce on pizza crust leaving about 1 1/2" of outer crust bare.
Sprinkle on cheese.
Sprinkle on all 4 meat toppings.
Open oven and using oven mitts, pull out rack with the pizza stone on it.
Carefully slide pizza crust from the baking sheet onto the pizza stone.
Bake for 12-15 minutes total. Crust will be golden brown.
Remove pizza stone from oven and place on top of the stove.
Allow pizza to cool before slicing.
