Number of ingredients: 15
Ingredients:
- For the Dough:
- 1 Cup all purpose flour
- 3 Tbsp corn oil
- 2 tsp good olive oil
- 6 Tbsp water
- 3/4 tsp dry active yeast
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Butter to grease the pan
- For the Pizza:
- 3/4 lb mozzarella (aged, not fresh)
- 1 can San Marzano tomatoes
- Oregan
- Garlic powder
- Shredded parmesan
How to cook:
- Mix all the dough ingredients until incorporated
- Knead for just a minute or two
- Let rest for approximately 6 hours (it won't rise a tremendous amount)
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Farenheit
- Punch the dough down (it will be suspiciously loose/wet, that's perfect)
- Let the dough rest for 15 minutes (an important 15 minutes)
- Place in a cast iron pan or (as we did) use a spring form cake pan and press until evenly spread across the bottom of the pan and up the side by 1/2-3/4" (don't be afraid to make it pretty thin in these areas, you should be just shy of seeing the dark of the pan beneath the dough)
- Layer in the sliced mozzarella until you're convinced one person would have a heart attack eating the pizza alone
- Top with crushed San Marzano tomatoes (I let them strain after crushing for 5 minutes or so)
- Sprinkle on garlic powder, oregano, and shredded Parmesan to taste (DON'T OVERDO IT!)
- Bake for 30-40 minutes and enjoy the crap out of it!
The Real Chicago Deep Dish Pizza Dough

I have it on good authority that this is the real deep dish pizza dough that's used in Chicago. The real thing is nothing like bread, or even pizza, dough. It is a buttery, flaky crust that is achieved by: 1) using corn oil (not butter) and 2) minimal mixing and kneading times. The pizza itself is built with cheese, toppings, and sauce, in that order. I suggest you use 6-in-1® tomatoes which are far superior to other brands. Classico® ground tomatoes are very similar. Contrary to popular opinion, cornmeal is not used in the dough by Chicago pizzerias.

- Combine yeast mixture, flour, corn oil, and kosher salt in a large stand mixer with a hook attachment; knead until dough holds together but is still slightly sticky, about 2 minutes.
- Form dough into a ball and transfer to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with a towel and allow dough to rise at room temperature until double in size, 6 hours.
- Punch down dough and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Press dough into a 10-inch deep dish pizza pan.
