Chicago Style Pizza

Tonight, we made a little deep dish Chicago-style pizza. Pretty good stuff.

Here are a few pics of the pie in progress.

And the finished product

Pretty good.

Wow! Looks like Gino's East or Lou Malnati's... How long did you cook it for?

That's about 30 minutes at 475. Pretty hot. I will go just a tad less than 30 next time. I've really got to say, I was pretty please. The crust is an Emeril's recipe. I need to do one with more cornmeal in it to get a little closer to that real CHicago flavor.

That looks super. One question: What type of dish do you use to make Chicago style pizzas?

For most authentic recipes you'll need a 14 or 15 inch 2 inch deep pan. They can be tough to find outside of a restaurant supply store. You can get one from these folks which actually are about 2 blocks above BGE.

Here's a shot of the Chicago pizza we did a couple of weeks back in the Big Green egg Academy Pizza Class.

A spring form pan like you would use for cheese cakes works well.

Bobby-Q, I like the looks of that crust. I need to tinker with the formula I have been using. Yours looks like it's got a bit more cornmeal in it a la Lou Malnati's.

I used just a quick Emeril recipe because I wanted to let the bread machine do the work with the dough while I drank beer and played a couple games of darts.

Care to share?
