MacKenzie Posted January 11, 2016 Report Posted January 11, 2016 Here we go, just winging this pizza cook. It is my first deep dish one. Used my regular pizza dough but fit it into a cast iron frying pan. Dressed it up with olives, pepperoni, Canadian bacon, mushrooms, fresh fennel, sweet red peppers, and Monterey Jack cheese as well as parmesan and a drizzle of olive oil. On the grill. Baked at 450-475F for 35 mins. with the serving tray as a heat shield for the about 1/2 the cooking time. Added the pizza sauce now as well as some green fennel ends. Sliced. Served. Finally a shot of the bottom crust.
ckreef Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Looks very fresh and tasty. Definitely a different take on deep dish pizza. I like it. Charles - Prometheus 16.5", Cassiopeia 19" TT
dstr8 Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 MacK, I'm not a deep dish fan but you put such a tantalizing spin on it I think I'm going to need to try it. Dennis needs to create a forum just for you and your cooks!
tony b Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Your food photography skills are just off the chart, MacKenzie!!!
MacKenzie Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks everyone. dstr8, I've never been a fan either but I'll have to admit this one was tasty and crust was light which I liked. I better do a write up before I forget what I did.
kjs Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 That looks so sweet, it would make any Chicago deep dish pizza joint jealous. My wife and daughter just got back from a trip to Rome, this looks like one of the pizzas they enjoyed.
Rak Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 MacKenzie that is another home run! Your cooks and photos are off the chart good!!
Jon B. Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 I wonder if they make a deep dish pizza machine for guys like me (just add water)............SWEET cook Ms. Mac!!!!!!
PRippley Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 MacKenzie I would like 2 slices for lunch please! Awesome crust!😉
MacKenzie Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Thanks, everyone. Sorry PJ, I just finished the last piece for lunch.
croadie Posted January 12, 2016 Report Posted January 12, 2016 Yes look s fabulous- I think the real deep dish (the commercial ones) are horrid fat deposits for cheap cheese - this on the other hand is a completely different league, inspirational...
MacKenzie Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Posted January 12, 2016 Croadie, thanks. I think I will be making this again. It would be out of character for me to buy premade ***. It is so much more fun to make it myself.
tinyfish Posted January 13, 2016 Report Posted January 13, 2016 That made me hungry for deep dish pizza.
donjohnson Posted January 14, 2016 Report Posted January 14, 2016 Looks really good, gonna have to buy me a new pan.
