TRUE CHICAGO-STYLE DEEP-DISH PIZZA



True Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Time 7h25m

Yield 8 slices

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
18 ounces all-purpose flour (about 3 1/2 cups)
2 teaspoons fine sea salt
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons corn oil, plus additional for oiling the bowl
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
12 ounces deli sliced part skim mozzarella
1 pound bulk Italian sausage
8 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni
One 28-ounce can whole San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
Grated Parmesan, for topping and garnish

Steps:

  • Mix sugar, yeast and 11 ounces room temperature water (about 80 degrees) in a bowl and let bloom for 15 minutes. Combine flour, salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Once yeast has bloomed, add to dry ingredients along with corn oil. Gently combine with a rubber spatula until a rough ball is formed.
  • Knead on low speed with the dough hook for 90 seconds. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and proof until doubled in size, about 6 hours. Punch down and let dough settle for 15 more minutes.
  • Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Coat bottom and sides of a 12-inch cake pan or traditional Chicago style pizza pan with melted butter. Using your hands, spread out about three-quarters of the dough across the bottom and up the sides of the pan (save the remainder for another use). Cover entire bottom in mozzarella, all the way up to the edge. Cover half with a thin, even layer of raw sausage. Cover the other half with the pepperoni. Top with a couple handfuls of crushed tomatoes. Spread out with hands to the edge. Sprinkle top evenly with grated Parm.
  • Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden around the edge, about 25 minutes. Let rest for about 5 minutes, then either gently lift pizza out of pan or just cut your slice out of the pan like a pie!

OLD WORLD CHICAGO-STYLE THIN CRUST PIZZA

Categories     main-dish

Time 3h10m

Yield two 14-inch pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup warm skim milk (about 110 degrees F)
1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F)
3/4 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 teaspoons corn or vegetable oil, plus more for the bowl
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for the work surface
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Semolina flour, for sprinkling
1/2 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces sliced pepperoni
1 1/4 cups freshly grated skim-milk low-moisture mozzarella
1 1/4 cups freshly grated whole-milk low-moisture mozzarella
1 cup giardiniera, roughly chopped if large pieces
8 ounces bulk sweet Italian sausage, broken up into small pieces

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the milk, water, yeast and sugar. Lightly whisk and let sit until bubbly and the yeast is bloomed, about 5 minutes. Add the oil.
  • Mix the all-purpose flour and salt in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Set the mixer to medium-low speed and slowly add the yeast mixture until entirely incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl to get everything homogenous. Knead on medium low until the dough is glossy and forms a rough ball, about 5 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Set it in a warm part of the kitchen until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
  • Place a pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
  • Split the dough into 2 balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll one of the balls of dough as THIN as possible with a rolling pin. To get an even "trimmed" circle, use a large round lid to trim a rim around the dough. Sprinkle some semolina flour on a pizza peel. Carefully transfer the round of dough to the peel. Dock the crust with a fork or docker, poking holes all over the surface to keep it thin and crispy.
  • Working quickly, add half of the pizza sauce almost all of the way to the edge of the crust, leaving about a 1-inch border. For the pepperoni side, place an even layer of pepperoni directly on top of the sauce on half of the pizza. Combine the skim- and whole-milk mozzarella in a large bowl and top the entire pizza with half of the cheese. Top the pepperoni side with some more scattered rounds of pepperoni. For the sausage side, spread half of the giardiniera on top of the cheese, then dollop with hunks of the Italian sausage on top. Transfer to the pizza stone in the oven and bake until golden and bubbly, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer the pizza to a cutting board with the pizza peel. Make another pizza with the remaining ingredients.
  • Let the pizza rest for 4 or 5 minutes, then cut into small squares--never triangles. This is called the party cut. Why? Because no matter what's going on, when you're eating Chicago thin crust, it's always a big ol' party.

CHICAGO DEEP-DISH PIZZA



Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza image

Home cooks will find deep-dish pizza, with its unique buttery cornmeal crust, more forgiving than its New York counterpart. No need to worry about having the hottest oven or too many toppings - just make sure your sauce is very thick and flavorful! I garnished mine with parsley and more Parmesan cheese.

Time 2h30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 ⅓ cups warm water
2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup melted butter
2 teaspoons white sugar
1 ½ teaspoons fine salt
½ cup cornmeal
3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons olive oil, or as needed, divided
4 cups pizza sauce, or to taste
4 ounces sliced provolone cheese
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, cubed
1 pound spicy Italian sausage, casings removed
4 ounces shredded part-skim, low-moisture mozzarella cheese
2 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Pour water into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Sprinkle in yeast and let dissolve, about 10 minutes. Add olive oil, melted butter, sugar, salt, cornmeal, and most of the flour. Knead, stopping to scrape down the sides occasionally and adding more flour as needed, until smooth and elastic.
  • Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface. Knead in extra flour if needed. Roll into a ball and place in a bowl greased with 1/2 teaspoon olive oil. Cover with a plate and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, 1 to 2 hours.
  • Meanwhile, let pizza sauce simmer in a pot over low heat until very thick, 60 to 90 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Poke dough to deflate and turn out onto your work surface. Press and stretch out dough into a round shape 3 to 4 inches larger than a 12-inch cast iron skillet. Brush skillet with 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil. Place dough in the skillet; stretch and pull to evenly distribute it over the bottom and sides.
  • Lay provolone cheese over the bottom of the crust. Scatter fresh mozzarella on top. Add Italian sausage and firm mozzarella. Ladle pizza sauce generously on top. Grate Parmesan cheese on top. Fold the edges of the crust in towards the center to seal in the sides. Drizzle crust and center with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  • Bake in the center of the preheated oven until crust sounds hollow and pizza is beautifully browned, about 35 minutes. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
