Where have all of our pizzaficionados gone?

You like that word, "pizzaficionado"? It has a nice ring to it!

Jump in. I need some guidance on making Chicago deep-dish pizza.

Thanks!

Funny you should ask Don, I just made a Chicago Deep Dish pizza.
This is my recipe:

3 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups water
2 packs yeast
1/2 cup Canola oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt

Mix flour, salt, sugar, oil, yeast and warm water. Kneed for ten minutes and put in a greased bowl to rise overnight in the fridge.

The next day take out 1 hours prior to making. Punch it down and let rest. Grease your deep dish pan with plenty of olive oil and fit into the pan, pulling it up on the sides. Preheat oven to 425.

Layer the bottom generously with shredded mozzarella. Next add your favorite toppings - I use sweet Italian sausage (pre-cooked) and pepperoni. Next, spoon crushed tomatoes over the top (I use a 28 ounce can). Now add some oregano and basil. Top it off with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Bake for about 30 minutes on the bottom rack. Take it out and let cool for 5 minutes. Enjoy!

I have only had Chicago deep dish once - in Chicago - seems like it was Uno downtown. The memory is the second thing to go. Can't remember what the first was.

Thanks for the recipe and pictures.

Now, can I do this on the grill (I haven't put a pizza in the oven since I don't know when.....)!
