Title: Chicago style deep dish pizza
Categories: Pizza
Yield: 6 Servings
1 ea Crust
1 c Warm water (110-115 deg)
1 pk Active dry yeast
3 1/2 c Flour
1/2 c Coarse ground cornmeal
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Vegetable oil
1 ea Filling
1 lb Mozzarella, sliced
1 lb Sausage
28 oz Can whole tomatoes
2 ea Garlic cloves, minced
3 ts Dried oregano, -or-
5 ea Basil leaves, shredded
4 tb Grated Parmesan cheese
Drain and coarsely crush the tomatoes. Remove sausage from casing and
crumble. Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve
the yeast with a fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt,
and, and vegetable oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in
the rest of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away
from the sides of the bowl. Flour your hands and the work surface
and kneed the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky. Let the
dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45 to 60
minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk. Punch it down
and kneed 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 degrees. While the dough is rising, prepare
the filling. Cook the crumbled sausage until it is no longer pink,
and drain it of it's excess fat. Drain and chop the tomatoes. When
the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the
dough shell. Then 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 degrees. Then lower the
temperature to 400 degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift
up a section of the crust from time to time with a spatula to check
on its color. The crust will be golden brown when done. Serve
immediately.
