The Real Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Dough image

I have it on good authority that this is the real Deep Dish Pizza Dough that's used in Chicago. The real thing is nothing like bread, or even pizza, dough. It is a buttery, flaky crust that is achieved by: 1) Using corn oil (not butter) and 2) minimal mixing and kneading times. The pizza itself is built with cheese, toppings, and sauce, in that order. I suggest you use 6-in-1 tomatoes which are far superior to other tomato brands. Classico ground tomatoes are very similar. Contrary to popular opinion, cornmeal is not used by the pizzarias in Chicago.

Time 6h30m

Yield 1 10 or 12 inch pizza, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/8 cups warm water (105 - 115 degrees)
1/2 cup corn oil
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast (1 packet)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Steps:

  • Add yeast to a mixture of water and sugar and let stand until foamy, about 5-10 minutes.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix in stand mixer with paddle attachment for one minute, then knead with hook attachment for no more than two minutes. Dough will be a little sticky. If too sticky to handle, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a little water. Dough should be a little tacky but able to shape into a ball.
  • Put dough in a buttered bowl, turn dough buttered side up, cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel and let rise at room temperature for 6 hours.
  • Punch down, then cover and let gluten relax for 10-15 minutes.
  • Either roll out or press into and up sides of deep dish pizza pan or even a cast iron skillet. If you are making a 10-inch pizza, fit the dough into the pan at the thickness you like and trim off any excess.
  • Add cheese, toppings, and tomatoes (that you've flavored with garlic, basil, oregano, etc.).
  • Bake at 450 degrees for 30 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • You may want to prebake the crust, if you wish, for about 5-10 minutes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dough turned out really sticky. I had to add a lot of extra flour to get it to the right consistency.
