Ingredients dough
– 240ml warm water
– 7g active dry yeast
– 1 tsp sugar
– 300g flour
– 70g polenta
– 8g salt
– 80ml olive oil
Toppings
– 4 large Italian pork sausages, skins removed and broken into small pieces
– 550g grated low-moisture mozzarella
Tomato sauce
– 30ml olive oil
– 1 large can of diced tomatoes
– 4 cloves garlic
– 2 small brown onions, diced
– 1 tsp sugar
– salt to taste
Method
1. In a bowl add the warm water, oil, sugar and yeast, mix and set aside.
2. Next in the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, polenta and salt.
3. Attach the hook attachment and start mixing at med-low speed.
4. Pour in the yeast water and let mix on med-low for 5-6 minutes or until the dough goes smooth.
5. Remove from the bowl and onto a floured bench, bring together into a ball and return it to a lightly floured mixing bowl, cover in cling film and let it double in size, around 1 hour.
6. Now is a good time to make the tomato sauce, heat the oil in a medium pot. Once hot, add the onions and cook over med-high heat for 3-4 minutes stirring often before adding the garlic, sugar and a pinch of salt.
7. Stir well and cook this for 25-30 minutes on med-low until it’s thicker and almost 1/2 in volume, remove from the heat and let it cool.
8. Once the dough has doubled in size, remove it from the bowl and back on the floured bench, knead for 2-3 minutes.
9. Take a cast iron skillet and drizzle 30ml of olive oil into it, add the dough to the centre and using your finger push the dough to the edge and up the sides so it just starts to pop out the top.
10. Add a layer of sausage meat to the bottom, followed by the tomato sauce and finely the cheese.
11. Bake the pizza in a 240c oven for 25-35 minutes depending on the oven (mine was a little hot).
12. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-6 minutes before removing from the pan and slicing. Enjoy!

Normal pizza is pizza pie. Chicago style is pie pizza.
Bro…. you nailed it wow looks amazing
Chicago-style deep dish pizza is an abomination. And also a casserole
That’s not pizza. That’s a casserole 🥘
Cheese was supposed to go on the bottom
Pizza pie that's actually true to its name
See if you did the cheese on top
People would definitely like it more cuz it’s fantastic stuff
But the cheese underneath the sauce makes for a bit of a mental setback for some folks
CHEESE IS UNDER THE SAUCE!
Anyway I got guests coming tomorrow and I want to make 2 of these bad boys but I follow babish's recipe for it
Deep dish pizza is just lazy lasagna it's not even pizza. New York style on the other hand is closer to real Pizza than even what they pass off as za in Italy. I'm very passionate about this
It's Deep Dish. Not Deep DIsh pizza. It was literally ruled by a court that it does NOT qualify as pizza 🙂
cheese goes under the sauce
Sauce goes on top, how did this video pass inspection
We have another name for deep dish pizza, we call it Sicilian.
That's not a deep dish pizza. It's cheese first then the sausage and then the sauce
what is the yellow thing put into the dough?
pizza or pie?
yes…
I like any kind of pizza but I had some gourmet Chicago Style at a sales meeting IN Chicago that was hands down the best of all time. I never knew who made it, wish I did because I've tried it since and it was never as good.
🤢
NOOOOOO THE SAUCE GOES ON THE TOP!!!
Sugar in the tomato sauce…..my nona just rolled over. I know why youre not long slow cooking but ohh man. No no.
You can never have too much cheese on a pizza- my opinion
