I make killer pizza, both Chicago style Deep dish and a thinner crust on our grill.
I should make it more often actually.
ooooooh any tips/recipes for the deep dish?? I LOVE deep dish pizza but have never tried making it at home!
I will never forget being a senior in college and getting a hand-me-down crock pot. I'd never cooked in one before, but I put in a beef stew and went away to work. When I returned home, I opened the stairwell door and the smell of beef stew permeated the whole stairwell. I RAN up those stairs saying, "Please let me find that smell coming from my apartment, please let me find that smell coming from my apartment". And it WAS!
hahahaha, I love this story! (and I LOVE my crockpot!)
Sure, it's an old recipe that was a hack of Uno's style in Chicago.
I use my bread maker for the dough (free from an old boss that was going to throw it away) But every bread maker seems to be a little different on how they make dough, since my neighbor made it and she said mine was so much better, and she followed my instructions.
1 pkg of yeast (I use it bought in bulk, much cheaper)
1c. warm water
1/4 c. + 2T. Oil, I usually use olive oil
1/4 C. Cornmeal
2 and 3/4 C. flour
After the dough is made in my dough cycle, I put it into 2 8in round cake pans, making sure it goes up to the top on the sides.
Get the toppings you want, it requires a lot more toppings than a regular crust.
Cheese goes down first, a light layer over the crust
Then layer the other ing.
Sausage
Mushrooms
more cheese
More sausage
more mushrooms
maybe some more cheese
Sauce, last as a topping
Then I bake at 475 20-25min
This is filling pizza, 2 pieces and you are stuffed.
Enjoy
