I have read many post concerning pizza dough recipes and get confused. I have a new KA mixer and wanting to make my own deep dish dough.

Any and all suggestions welcomed - thanks in advance.......

    Do the initial mixing with the K paddle, while the dough is more like a batter, that is soupy. Once you are ready to add more flour, switch to the dough hook. 

    I also keep an oil mister to spray onto the bowl sides as the dough starts to pull away, just makes it easier to work with. Be patient, deep dish dough is really sticky hard to work compared to regular pizza dough, IMHO.

    Nuthin'.  I just like thinner, chewy crusts better.  Less is more.  It's all personal.  I cook a lot of them.

    I just made a deep dish two weeks ago.  I used the dough recipe shown below and my KA mixer.  I used the dough hook attachment.  It turned out great.

    There's a joint in SA where my mom lives that is.  I'm going around the time I'm going to Salado.

    for me, I like the accomplishment of eating the whole damn thing, which I can do with a thin crust, 13" pizza done on my MBGE. I can only handle about 1/2 of a 12" deep dish done in CI skillet on the egg, I feel so inadequate....

    It's even worse with a Sicilian pie. After 4 pieces, I feel sick and emasculated.  :))

    Those whole pies gotta be at least 4000 calories - the worst kind.  Not that the pizza falls into the diet category in general, but it ain't a personal pie.

    I know. I would never eat a whole one. It's that subconscious feeling we all have to clean our plates.

    It's not pizza.  It's casserole.   :P

    I am craving the Giordanno's Stuffed Pizza myself. It has been a while since I have been able to get back to the Chicago area. This is different from the Deep Dish in that it has two crusts. One on the bottom with all your desired contents and then another with slits and the sauce. They are so good. I am blessed with a Chicago Chain opening here in Springfield, Mo. called Rosati's so I can have my Chicago Style Pizza all the time. They will move into a bigger place in January or February and be a regular sit down restaurant which will be great.
