Directions
Chicago Style Deep-Dish Pizza Dough, This recipe comes from the book Pizza and is just wonderful It can be hard to press the pizza up the sides of the pan, but just let the dough rest for a bit first and it should be easier , This crust is great Have tried some other ‘authentic’ high maintenance recipes and this one beats them Followed the recipe exactly, but used my stand mixer with the dough hook, so reduced the knead time to about 4 mins Used this crust in my go-to deep dish recipe and it was the best and EASY and took way less time , Excellent! Lighter than classic deep dish crust, which is usually more pastry-like Held up very well and made a delicious pie! We split the dough and made 2 9-inch pies We covered the edges in foil to prevent browning and parbaked for 15mins at 425F before adding the filling, then continued to bake with the edges wrapped in foil for about 60mins, until the inside reached 150F In case you want to weigh your ingredients: 7g instant yeast 60+237g warm water 4g sugar 50+384g flour 75g cornmeal 6g salt 107g olive oil
