THE REAL CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.
• Combine yeast mixture, flour, corn oil, and kosher salt in a large stand mixer with a hook attachment; knead until dough holds together but is still slightly sticky, about 2 minutes.
• Form dough into a ball and transfer to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with a towel and allow dough to rise at room temperature until double in size, 6 hours.
• Punch down dough and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Press dough into a 10-inch deep dish pizza pan.

DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• Add flour, cornmeal, salt, honey and yeast to a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Mix on low speed until incorporated.
• Add in water and 3 tbsp melted butter and mix on low until combined, 1-2 minutes.
• Increase the speed to medium and knead the dough until it is glossy and pulls aways from the sides of the bowl, 5 minutes.
• Coat a large bowl with olive oil and add the dough ball to the bowl turning to coat the dough ball in oil. Cover with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise until doubled, about 60 minutes or so.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Coat two 9 inch cake pans with olive oil, set aside.
• Roll dough onto a dry work surface and roll into a 15 x 12 inch rectangle. Spread with 4 tbsp softened butter.
• Starting at the shortest end roll up dough into a cylinder. With the seam-side down, flatten the dough into a 18 by 4-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle in half. Working with one half at a time, fold the dough into thirds like a business letter. Pinch the seams together to form a dough ball. Repeat with the remaining dough ball then transfer both balls of dough to the oiled bowl. Cover and let rise this time in the refrigerator to 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
• Heat oil in a medium saucepan over medium high heat.
• Add in onions and saute until softened, 4-5 minutes. Add in garlic and cook for an additional minute.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes and spices and simmer for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Transfer 1 dough ball on a dry work surface at a time and roll into a 13 inch disk. Transfer it to the prepared baking pan. Lightly press dough into pan and push dough up the sides about 1 inch.
• Sprinkle each pizza with 2 cups mozzarella cheese, 1 1/4 cup sauce and 2 tbsp parmesan.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
• Allow pizza to rest for 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing.

DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• The night before you'd like to serve pizza (or the morning before), mix up the pizza dough. Stir together the flour, yeast, water, and salt in a medium bowl. Mixture will look shaggy and a little dry. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and leave dough out on counter to rise for 8-24 hours.
• About an hour before you'd like to serve the pizza, move an oven rack to the lowest position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Optional: for a crunchy crust, place 2 tbsp oil in the bottom of a 9x13 pan (glass works best). When the oven is almost at 400, place the baking dish in the oven for 5 minutes to heat.
• Remove 9x13 pan from oven. (OR, if skipping the step to make crust crunchy, lightly grease a 9x13 pan.) Using a spatula or scraper, pour the pizza dough into the 9x13 pan. Lightly grease your hands and use your fingers to stretch the dough out until it mostly covers the bottom of the pan. If the pan has been in the oven, be careful not to touch it as it will be hot.
• Spread pizza sauce on top of the dough, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle cheese on top of the sauce, all the way to the edges. Top with pepperoni and a little more cheese if desired.
• Spray a piece of foil with nonstick spray and use it to cover the baking dish. Place dish in oven and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for 5-10 more minutes, until bottom crust of pizza and cheese is lightly browned.
• Remove from oven and allow pizza to rest about 10 minutes before removing from pan and slicing into squares.

DEEP-DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, cornmeal, salt, yeast, olive oil, melted butter, vegetable oil and warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook. Mix on medium speed until the dough comes together and pulls away from the side of the bowl but still sticks to the bottom, about 3 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and knead 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl and turn to coat. Tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place, 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the sauce: Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until the garlic is slightly softened, about 1 minute. Add the tomato puree and 1 cup water. Stir in the oregano and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 8 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Generously brush two 9 1/2-inch round deep-dish pizza pans (or 9-inch cake pans) with about 3 tablespoons olive oil each. Divide the dough in half; press each half into the bottom of a pan. Let the dough rest, 15 minutes. Push the dough down and press it up the sides of the pans with your fingers. Layer the cheese on top of each crust and spread each with 1 1/2 cups sauce.
• Bake the pizzas until the crust is dark golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, 40 to 45 minutes (it will still be jiggly in the center). Sprinkle with parmesan (if using); let cool 15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into wedges.
• You can freeze the baked pizza for up to a month. Let it cool, then tightly wrap in plastic and foil. To reheat, unwrap and bake at 325 degrees F until hot and bubbling, 50 to 60 minutes.

DIRTY YOUR DEEP DISH PAN...PIZZA!

Steps:

• CRUST:.
• Bring 1 quart water and the potato to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat; cook until tender 10 - 15 minutes. Drain the potato and and cool until it can be handled.
• Press potato through a potato ricer or grate on the large holes of a box grater.
• Measure 1 1/3 cups lightly packed potato; discard the remaining potato.
• Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and the other rack to the lowest position; heat the oven to 200 degrees. Once the temperature reaches 200 degrees, maintain the heat for 10 minutes then turn off the heat.
• Combine the flour, yeast, and salt in a food processor. With the motor running, add the water and process until the dough comes together in a shaggy ball.
• Add the potato and process for several seconds, then add 2 tablespoons of the oil and process several more seconds, until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
• Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled medium bowl, turn to coat with oil and cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place in the warmed oven until the dough is soft and spongy and doubled in size, 30 - 35 minutes.
• Oil the bottom of two 10-inch cake pans with 2 tablespoons of oil each.
• Turn the dough onto a clean, dry work surface; divide it in half.
• Pat each half into a 9-inch round.
• Transfer the round to the oiled pans, cover with plastic wrap, and let rest until the dough longer resists shaping, about 10 minutes.
• Place a pizza stone or rimless baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat the oven to 500 degrees.
• Uncover the dough and pull it into the edges and up the side of the pans to form a 1 inch high lip. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free spot until doubled in size, about 30 minutes.
• Uncover the dough and prick generously with a fork.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 425 degrees and bake on the heated stone or baking sheet (on the lowest rack) until the crust is dry and lightly browned, about 5 - 10 minutes.
• Add the toppings.
• Bake on the stone or baking sheet until the cheese melts, 10 - 15 minutes.
• Move the pizza to the top rack and bake until the cheese is golden brown in spots about 5 minutes longer.
• To make sure the crust is done, use a spatula to lift up the crust - it should be nicely browned underneath.
• Let cool 5 minutes, then holding the pizza pan at an angle with one hand, use a wide spatula to slide the pizza from the pan to a cutting board. Cut into wedges and serve.
