• Punch it down and knead it briefly.
• Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pizza pan until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the bottom of the pan.
• Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F.
• While the dough is rising, prepare the filling.
• Cook the sausage until it is no longer pink and drain the excess fat.
• When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the dough shell.
• Distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese.
• Top with the tomatoes.
• Sprinkle on the seasonings and Parmesan cheese.
• Bake for 15 minutes at 500°F, then lower the temperature to 400°F and finish baking for 25-35 minutes longer.
• Lift up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check its color. The crust will be golden brown when done.
• Serve immediately.

DEEP DISH PIZZA CHICAGO-STYLE UNO'S RECIPE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. You will need a deep dish at least 2 inches deep. You can also use a heavy 10x2 inch round cake pan or a 10 inch spring form pan. Which ever pan you use, brush olive oil generously around the whole pan.
• 2. In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast into warm water. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the flour, the 1/3 cup cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Beat at low speed 30 seconds,scraping bowl often. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
• 3. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place till doubled. Beat down. Let rest for 5 minutes.
• 4. Turn dough into pan. Using oiled hands, spread dough evenly over bottom and partially up sides of pan. Cover, let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
• 5. Arrange cheese slices in 1/4 inch thick layer on dough. Gently press sausage on cheese. Using hands, gently crush tomatoes into small pieces atop sausage. Sprinkle with herbs and Parmesan.
• 6. Bake in a 500 degree oven for about 25 minutes to 30 minutes or until edges of the crust are crisp and golden brown. If desired, add mushrooms and green pepper during the last few minutes of baking.
• 7. Let the pizza stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting. (this is the hardest part!) :)
• 8. ANOTHER CHEAT NOTE: If you dont have the time to make this crust, I did come up with an alternative using the bread machine. If you want to use the bread machine: 2 3/4 Cups AP flour 1/3 Cup olive oil 1 Cup hot water (110-115 degrees) 2 teaspoons yeast Add the ingredients to the bread machine and put it on dough setting. Then put in the prepared pan and let rise again. Then follow the rest of the above instructions.
• 9. This is a serious recipe. It is well worth the effort as it is as close to the real thing as you can get at home. As I have said, I used a sauce in the pictures.... this is a no-no! Use the tomatoes and you will be in heaven!

Steps:

• OLD SCHOOL METHOD: Mix the yeast and water together in a large mixing bowl with a fork until totally dissolved.
• Blend in 1 cup of flour, and all the cornmeal, salt, and oil. Mix well with a large spoon.
• Continue stirring in the rest of the flour in 1/2-cup increments until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
• Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough until it is no longer sticky, about 5-10 minutes.
• Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm, dry, draft-free area for 45-60 minutes to rise until doubled.
• Punch it down and knead briefly. Go to Step #8. Didn't want to do all that just to have another rise later? Check out the bread machine instructions!
• BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS: Put all the ingredients into your bread machine according to your manfacturer's directions and do a 1.5-lb or 2-lb dough cycle, kick back and let it do its work.
• Press the dough into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pan. Let it rise for another 20 minutes before pre-baking.
• After the rise in the pan is finished, bake at 450F for 10 minutes. Then add the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc, and whatever else you like and bake at 400F according to how much you put on (ie, meat toppings require longer.) I like cheese and veggie toppings which only take about 15-20 minutes, then turn on the broiler for 5 minutes to get a nice crispy edge and cheesy crunch.
• Don't have a deep-dish pan? Can probably split this up among casserole dishes and large pie pans.

Steps:

• Dissolve the yeast with warm water and sugar in a mixing bowl.
• Add the corn oil and blend.
• Add flour and salt and mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and pliable. If using a stand mixer for 4 minutes at medium or by hand knead for 7 to 8 minutes.
• Turn the dough out and knead by hand an additional 2 minutes.
• Coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough ball in the bowl turning once to cover it with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and let it rise for two hours.
• Do not punch the dough down. Spead it across the bottom and up the sides of a 12 inch deep dish pizza or cake pan. (I cover the bottom of my pan with olive oil first - a lot of olive oil).
• For the sauce: in a mixing bowl combine the tomatoes, oregano, basil and romano.
• Line the dough with mozzarella and provolone completely covering the dough and then put your sauce and toppings.
• Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 475 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes - the crust should be golden brown. Allow the pizza to rest 3-4 minutes before cutting.

OUR VERSION OF GINO'S EAST DEEP DISH PIZZA

Steps:

• In a bowl, put water (luke warm), then yeast, oil, cream of tartar, and sugar. Mix with hand until yeast dissolves.
• Pour in bread flour a little at a time. Mix with your hand. Just curve your hand like a dough hook and hold the bowl and mix. Then, knead it until it gets firm. Add more flour if needed.
• The secret is the kneading. Knead it for about 10 minutes straight. Then, roll it into a ball, and put it in a bowl with oil brushed in the sides. Cover with plastic wrap and a kitchen towel. Let sit overnight unrefrigerated. Only let it rise once. Portion and use.
• Take the tomatoes and sauce and place into a bowl. Using a potato masher or just your hands, mash the tomatoes up so that there are no chunks bigger around than a quarter.
• Add the rest of the ingredients and stir. Adjust the salt and pepper to taste. Do not use too much basil or oregano.
• Preheat oven to 350.
• Prepare your deep dish pizza pan (or a round cake pan with straight sides) by coating the inside of it with a very healthy coating of melted butter or oil.
• Roll the dough out to about 3 inches larger than the bottom of the pan, then place inside the pan and pinch the dough up along the sides.
• Now put the cheese in (right on the crust). Then add the pepperoni and sausage pieces, and finally the sauce (Don't worry, the sausage will cook through completely in the oven).
• Bake in the oven until the crust is starting to brown and cheese is starting to bubble up through the sauce. The little edges of the pepperoni should also be starting to crisp and the sausage should be cooked through (about 45 minutes).
