Chicago style deep dish pizza recipe

Ingredients

  • For the Dough:
  • 1 1/3 cup hot water

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

  • 2 1/4 tablespoons dried active yeast

  • 2 teaspoons sugar (white)

  • 1/4 cup butter, melted

  • ½ cup cornmeal

  • 1/2 teaspoons salt, fine

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil, divided, or as needed

  • 4 cups pizza sauce (or as desired)

  • 3 3/4 cup flour (all-purpose)

  • For the Fillings/Toppings
  • 8 oz. cubed fresh mozzarella cheese

  • 4 oz. provolone cheese, sliced

  • 1 pound casingless spicy Italian sausage

  • Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, 2 oz.

  • 4 oz. part-skim, low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Directions

  • Fill the bowl of a stand mixer with water and the paddle attachment. Allow 10 minutes for the yeast to dissolve.
  • Add the olive oil, cornmeal, sugar, salt, melted butter, and the majority of the flour
  • Knead until smooth and elastic, stopping to scrape down the edges as needed and adding more flour as needed.
  • Place the dough on a floured work surface. If necessary, add more flour to the kneading.
  • Place in a basin coated with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil and roll into a ball.
  • Cover with a plate and set aside in a warm place to rise for 1 to 2 hours, or until doubled in volume.
  • Meanwhile, simmer pizza sauce in a pot over low heat for 60 to 90 minutes, or until extremely thick.
  • Preheat oven to 425 ℉ (220 degrees C).
  • To deflate the dough, poke it with a fork and turn it out onto your work surface.
  • Form dough into a spherical shape 3 to 4 inches bigger than 12 inches cast iron skillet by pressing and stretching it out.
  • /2 teaspoons olive oil, brushed into the skillet.
  • Stretch and pull the dough uniformly around the bottom and sides of the skillet.
  • Cover the bottom of the crust with provolone cheese.
  • Fresh mozzarella should be strewn throughout the top.
  • Combine Italian sausage and hard mozzarella
  • Pour a good amount of pizza sauce on top.
  • Top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  • To seal in the sides, fold the crust’s edges in toward the middle. 1 tablespoon olive oil drizzled over the crust and middle.
  • Bake for 35 minutes in the center of the preheated oven, or until the crust sounds hollow and the pizza is nicely browned.
  • Allow for a 10-minute rest before slicing.
