Miss Missouri, Tara Osseck, submitted this recipe for Imo's Pizza St. Louis Style.

INGREDIENTS

Crust:
2	cup and 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2	tsp salt
1	tsp. baking powder
2	tsp. olive oil
2	tsp. dark corn syrup
1/2	cup and 2 tbsp. water
Sauce:
16	oz. can whole tomatoes (dices into fine pieces)
6	oz. can tomato paste
1 1/2	tsp sugar
1	tsp crushed basil
1/2	tsp. salt
1/4	tsp. thyme
Italian Seasoning:
2	tsp oregano
2	tsp. basil
1	tsp. thyme

PREPARATION:

In large mixing bowl combine all crust ingredients.
Mix until thoroughly combined - dough will be very stiff. Makes enough for two (2) 12" pizza pies. Do not knead. Divide the dough in half, shape into a round ball and roll out paper thin.
Stir together ingredients and spoon sauce over pizza dough.
Combine all the ingredients for the Italian seasoning in a small mixing bowl and blend well.
Top pizza with provel cheese and any of the following authentic Imo’s pizza toppings: onion, green pepper, sausage, hamburger, pepperoni, anchovies, bacon, black olive, mushrooms, Canadian bacon, jalapenos, pineapple, banana peppers, tomatoes.
Sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees. Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until underside of crust is a dark golden brown and cheese has a slight golden tint.
For best results, use a pizza stone or a thin baking sheet.
To truly replicate Imo's Pizza at home, cut pizza into tile-like squares instead of the traditional triangle slices, and enjoy!
