My husband and I have never been to Chicago, but we have been dying to go. We have family there so we know it will be a fun and wonderful time. One of the things we are looking forward to most is having their deep dish style pizza. We have tried it many times in our local pizzerias, and love it so much it was on our meal plan list to make at home. It turned out soooo good, we added it to our weekly rotation. We absolutely love making this at any point of the week!
Check out what our friends over at My Recipe Magic had to say about this:
“Chicago Deep Dish Pizza is the perfect comfort meal with its flaky, buttery crust, oozing mozzarella and zesty Italian pepperoni.”
Ohhh yes, it is zesty, tasty and so amazing!
Ingredients
Dough:
4 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour
1 ¾ teaspoon salt
2 3/4 teaspoon instant yeast
2 tablespoon Olive oil
4 tablespoon Land O’ Lakes butter ( melted )
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup water ( lukewarm + 2 Tbsp )
3 tablespoons cornmeal, yellow
Filling
3/4 pound Kraft mozzarella cheese ( sliced )
1 cup pepperoni ( pieces )
1 Can (28 oz) plum tomatoes ( lightly crushed )
2clove(s) garlic ( 2-4, peeled and minced, optional )
Domino Sugar 1 teaspoon
Pizza Seasoning ( to taste )
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated ( freshly grated, or asiago cheese )
Olive oil
Instructions
To make the crust: Mix the dough ingredients, and knead — by hand, mixer, or bread machine — to make a smooth crust. This will take about 7 minutes at medium-low speed in a stand mixer.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl or 8-cup measure (which makes it easy to track its rise), cover, and let rise till very puffy, about 60 minutes.
While the dough is rising, ready your 14″ deep-dish pizza pan. Grease it with non-stick vegetable oil spray, then pour in 3 to 4 tablespoons olive oil, tilting it to cover the bottom of the pan, and partway up the sides.
Stretch the dough to make as large a circle as you can. You can do this on a lightly oiled baking mat, if you choose; or simply stretch the dough in your hands.
Lay the dough in the pan, and stretch it towards the edges till it starts to shrink back. Cover, and let it rest for 15 minutes. Start preheating the oven to 425°F while the dough rests.
Stretch the dough to cover the bottom of the pan, then gently push it up the sides of the pan. The olive oil may ooze over the edge of the crust; that’s OK. Let the crust rest for 15 minutes or so, as your oven comes up to 425°F.
Bake the crust for 10 minutes, until it’s set and barely beginning to brown. While it’s baking, prepare the filling.
Drain the tomatoes thoroughly. Combine them with the Pizza Seasoning or herbs, and the garlic and sugar (if you’re using them). Add salt to taste; you probably won’t need any additional salt if you’ve used the Pizza Seasoning.
Cover the bottom of the crust with the sliced mozzarella, fanning it into the crust. Add the pepperoni, then the tomato mixture.
Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan, and drizzle with the olive oil.
Bake the pizza for about 25 minutes, or until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Remove it from the oven, and carefully lift it out of the pan onto a rack. A giant spatula is a help here. Allow the pizza to cool for about 15 minutes (or longer, for less oozing) before cutting and serving.
