Iz's Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza
- 8 oz pizza dough
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 cup shredded cheese
- 1 small fresh tomato - sliced
- 1 your favorite pizza toppings
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- Preheat oven to 400F.
- After dough has risen, roll, strerch or toss the dough until it is large enough to fill the bottom of a 9 inch cake pan.
- About 12 inches in diameter.
- Oil the inside of the pan and put the dough in the pan.
- Ensure there is no air trapped between the pan and the dough.
- Press the dough to the edge of the pan and up the sides.
- Spread most of the cheese across the bottom of the pan.
- I used mozzarella for the bottom.
- Layer the toppings on the cheese.
- Here I have put in purple onion and red peppers.
- Place the sliced tomato after a few of your favorites.
- Layer the remaining toppings.
- I used ham and chicken.
- Top with the pizza sauce.
- Mine was a hybrid pizza and bbq sauce with a little spice heat in it.
- Bake for 20 minutes on the center rack.
- The ingredients will be bubbling similar to a casserole.
- Pull to a safe surface and top with the remaining cheese.
- I used thin sliced sharp cheddar for the top.
- Return to the oven and bake an additional 10 minutes.
- Pull from the oven.
- The cheese should be melted and and ingredients still bubbling.
- Allow to set 5 - 10 minutes prior to cutting.
