COPYCAT PIZZERIA UNO "CHICAGO DEEP DISH" PIZZA DOUGH
I've eaten a few times at Pizza Uno, it's one of the few chain places I like because they have a good veggie burger with actual veggie sides! (And their peanut butter cup dessert thing is to die for.) As a New Yorker I know what really good pizza is and have so many wonderful independent pizzerias right in my own backyard, hence it'd be sinful for me to get pizza from a chain ;) But I'm posting this from my "Awesome Restaurant Recipes" e-book to share with those who'd like to recreate the dough at home to have with the sauce and toppings of their choice; the only thing I changed in the original recipe is to use canola or sunflower oil instead of vegetable oil since that's what I keep around due to nutritive properties. And I'm always trying homemade pizza recipes of all kinds and varying the recipes with different flours, oils additions, etc. I think this would be good subbing half wheat flour and adding some nutritional yeast and spices. What I found interesting about this recipe is that you don't proof the yeast with any type of sugar, and cornmeal in the actual dough instead of just sprinkling on the bottom. Of course, I'm including both bread machine and old school instructions.

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.

From the website: http://www.unos.com/about/press/2009/0109_1.html I love this dough!!! The site did not say how to treat the pan before cooking, I fill the bottom with oil because we like a real greasy yummy pizza.

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.
CHICAGO DEEP-DISH PIZZA
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.

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.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh mozzarella cheese, premium sausage, and vine-ripened tomatoes are all excellent choices.
- Don't skimp on the butter. It's what gives the crust its signature flaky texture.
- Make sure your oven is nice and hot before baking the pizza. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the cheese from becoming too gooey.
- Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and the flavors to meld together.
Conclusion:
With its thick, buttery crust, layers of cheese and toppings, and secret blend of spices, Uno Chicago Grill's deep-dish pizza is a true culinary masterpiece. While it may take some time and effort to make at home, the results are absolutely worth it. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a delicious slice of Chicago-style deep-dish pizza.
