Chicago Deep Dish (but not on grill)

Let the dough rise for 2 hours, then flattened into the 12" pan and pinched up about 1 1/2 inch on the side.  

Mild Italian sausage...added a little more after this pic.

Pepperoni and mushroom...sweated the mushrooms for a few minutes just to remove excess moisture.


Crushed tomatoes sprinkled with romano cheese and very light dusting of dried basil.


Success.   Very airy, but crispy crust.


If you've had Lou Malnati's, that's what I'd compare it to...though naturally not THAT good.  But about as close as I'm going to get in Mississippi!  :smiley:

    Right here  http://www.realdeepdish.com/deepdishholygrail/  I was introduced to this fantastic deep dish site by @Carolina Q   I don't even look for alternate recipes for this style because they would be hard-pressed to top this one

    Great looking pie!! Glad you found that site helpful. I know I did! Dough in 4 minutes is awesome! Watch the RealDeepDish dough video. For anyone interested, here's the post I made a while back with the particulars...

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    I'm waiting on him to update with his "perfected" stuffed/Giordano's style.

    Beautiful.....@Carolina Q has turned many of us on to the joy of Deep Dish. You have done him and the Chicago Pizza gods proud on this one. Even if you are from Mississippi.  =) I kid as my boys have a date Saturday night in Starkville with the Dogs.
