DEEP DISH PIZZA



Deep Dish Pizza image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 2h30m

Yield 2 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 ounces salt
1/4 ounce yeast
1 teaspoon white pepper
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
4.1 pounds high-gluten flour
1/4 cup vegetable oil, plus more for oiling baking sheet
12 ounces red sauce of choice
3 cups grated mozzarella
Toppings of choice, as needed

Steps:

  • For the dough: In a mixer with a dough hook attachment, blend 4 cups (1 quart) ice cold water, the salt, yeast, pepper and sugar and mix well; let rest for 10 minutes. Next, add the flour and oil and mix until smooth, 3 to 4 minutes. Oil a baking sheet. Portion the dough into two rounds and place on the baking sheet. Allow to rest and rise until doubling in size, about 1 hour.
  • Working with one ball of dough at a time, spread the dough evenly, forming a crust about 13 inches in diameter. Transfer to a round pan and allow to rise for 30 minutes; repeat with the other dough ball.
  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
  • For the pizzas: After rising, "dock" each crust with your fingertip to form small pockets in the dough, 20 to 30 pockets on each. Pour about 2 ounces of sauce over each crust to cover the dough and fill the pockets. Bake for 20 minutes to form the crust and allow the sauce to dry into the dough.
  • Raise the oven temperature to 450 degrees F.
  • Evenly spread the remaining sauce to cover the cooked crusts, leaving a 1/2-inch border unsauced. Next, spread 2 ounces of cheese over the sauce on each pizza, followed by the toppings. Finish with a sprinkling of more cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted, 12 to 15 minutes.

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!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality bread dough for your pizza crust.
  • Don't overwork the dough, or it will become tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go before baking the pizza.
  • Use a cast iron skillet or a pizza stone for baking the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
  • Don't overload the pizza with toppings. This will make it difficult to cook evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pizza. It should be cooked until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
