In a mixing bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in water. Add butter, shortening, salt and 2 cups flour; mix until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
Punch dough down. Sprinkle cornmeal into a greased 14-in. pizza pan. Press dough onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Brush with oil. Bake at 350° for 18-20 minutes.
Spread pizza sauce over crust. Top with sausage and cheese. Bake 10-15 minutes longer or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted.

Suggestions
For a crispier pizza crust, sprinkle a thin layer of shredded cheese under the sauce and toppings.
