DEEP-DISH SAUSAGE PIZZA
My grandma made the tastiest snacks for us when we stayed the night at her farm. Her wonderful pizza, hot from the oven, was covered with cheese and had fragrant herbs in the crust. Now this pizza is frequently a meal for my husband and me and our family. -Michele Madden, Washington Court House, Ohio

Steps:
- For the pizza dough: Whisk together the lukewarm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 minutes, until the yeast begins to bubble and foam.
- Add the flour and kosher salt to a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook and mix until just combined. With the mixer off, add the yeast mixture. Turn the mixer back on and knead, gradually increasing the speed from low to medium, until the flour and yeast are combined and the dough looks shaggy. Turn the mixer off again and add the melted butter. Mix, slowly increasing the speed to medium, until the dough holds together and the butter is completely incorporated, about 30 seconds. With the mixer on the lowest speed, knead the dough for 3 minutes. If the dough moves too high up the hook and is no longer being kneaded, turn the mixer off and push the dough back down.
- Coat a large bowl with the olive oil. Remove the dough from the stand mixer, form into a ball and place in the greased bowl. (The dough will feel tacky when it comes out of the mixer but should come out in one piece. If necessary, knead additional flour into the dough, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is reached.) Cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- For the marinara sauce: Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a medium saucepot. Add the onions and saute until softened, 2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the tomato paste, oregano, crushed red pepper and salt; cook for 30 seconds. Pour in the stewed tomatoes, breaking up any large pieces. Bring the sauce to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring often. Remove from the heat and stir in the butter. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Let cool. (Makes 1 1/4 cups.)
- For the sausage pizza: Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the sweet Italian sausage and hot Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking up the sausage into small pieces. Remove to a paper-towel-lined baking sheet to drain.
- Combine the mozzarella and Asiago in a bowl and reserve in the refrigerator.
- Place the proofed pizza dough on a lightly-floured work surface. Dust the top of the dough with flour and roll into a 14-inch round, about 1/4-inch thick. Roll the dough onto the rolling pin and transfer to a 10-inch nonstick springform pan. As evenly as possible, unroll the dough over the springform pan and guide the dough into the pan, pressing it evenly into the bottom and working it gently all the way into the edges. Next, lift the sides of the dough up and press against the sides of the pan, making sure the dough doesn't fold over itself at any point. The dough should come 2 inches up the sides of the pan.
- Add half of the cheese to the bottom of the crust, top with half of the sausage and then cover the sausage with the marinara sauce. Add the remaining cheese, followed by the rest of the sausage. Fold the top of the pizza dough over so that it sits evenly on top of the filling.
- Place the pizza on a baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes. Rotate, cover with foil, and bake an additional 20 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven when the crust is a deep golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let rest for 15 minutes before removing the sides of the springform pan. Serve with torn basil scattered over the top.

DEEP DISH PIZZA WITH SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOMS RECIPE BY TASTY
Katie and her husband recreate the dish they ate on their first date: a Chicago-style deep dish pizza inspired by Masa of Echo Park, a popular LA restaurant. The crispy cornmeal crust is the perfect vessel to hold globs of melty mozzarella cheese, sautéed mushrooms, deliciously garlicky tomato sauce, and fennel-infused sausage.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Add the warm water and sugar to a large liquid measuring cup. Sprinkle in the yeast and let bloom for 5 minutes, until foamy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and melted butter, and stir with a rubber spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough comes together into a soft ball and bounces back when pressed with a finger. Grease a large bowl with olive oil. Then transfer the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, 1-2 hours.
- Make the sauce: Pour the tomatoes into a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl. Let the juices drain. Then use your hands to gently crush tomatoes and let any excess liquid drip into a bowl. Discard the juices. Transfer the crushed tomatoes to a medium saucepan and add the sugar, red pepper flakes, salt, olive oil, and garlic. Stir to combine. Bring to low boil over medium heat and cook for 15 minutes, until most of the liquid has evaporated. Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the basil. Set aside to cool while you prepare the rest of the toppings.
- Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and remove the pan from the heat.
- Add the fennel seeds to a small dry skillet over medium heat. Toast until fragrant and starting to brown, 3-4 minutes. Transfer the fennel seeds to a cutting board and coarsely chop.
- Add the fennel seeds to a medium bowl with the Italian sausage and mix to incorporate. Transfer the sausage to a large sheet of parchment paper. Top with another sheet of parchment and roll the sausage into a 9-inch patty.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- . Once the dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cut the dough in half. Wrap one half in plastic wrap, place in a resealable zip-top bag, and freeze for up to 1 month.
- Generously grease a 10-inch cast iron skillet with olive oil all over the sides and bottom. Transfer the remaining dough to the pan and use your hands to press evenly against the bottom and up the sides.
- Tear the mozzarella into pieces and evenly scatter over the dough. Top with the sautéed mushrooms, then the tomato sauce. Use the parchment to place the sausage patty on top of the sauce. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.
- Place the skillet on a baking sheet to catch any drips. Then transfer to the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, until the crust is lightly browned and the sausage is cooked through.
- Let cool slightly. Then carefully remove the pizza from the skillet, slice, and serve.
- Enjoy!
