Finally decided to tackle a Chicago style deep dish pizza this past weekend.
This is my version of a pizza from Pequod's in the Lincoln Park neighborhood of the city. It has cheese layered on the dough and the cheese is also shingled up the sides of the pan, giving the finished pizza a cheesy slightly burnt, caramelized crust that is delicious.
Start with making some dough and letting it rise.
The brush your pan with olive oil.
Next spread the dough in the pan, just barely coming up the sides of the pan and layer your cheese (mozzarella)
Add Italian sausage (a patty large enough to cover the bottom of your pan, pre-cooked and drained of any grease) add your sauce.
I like pepperoni so I next added that and oregano.
Place on your KK at 425° until done
Finished pizza.
