Chicago deep dish

Big dawg · Feb 27, 2013

I finally got around to cooking a Chicago style deep dish. Me and the wife usually cook together on Sundays and watch tv its about the only time we really get to relax so we decided to try out this pizza. For the dough I used this recipe that I got from ballistic bbq on you tube wich turned out to be almost the same recipe I was already using for my other pizzas. I was raised in Chicago so I've had good deep dish pizza and this pizza turned out pretty close to some of the ones we've had in Chicago. My wife was really excited that we now know how to make deep dish. Here's a few pics.

Very nice looking I have never had deep dish.
Someone tell me how different a deep dish Pizza is in taste to a flat one please.

landarc · Feb 28, 2013

That is a good looking pizza

They are quite different Titch. The crust on a deep dish can vary form almost a buttery type of crust to a cornmeal crust, some deep dish have one crust and others have a top crust as well.

In terms of taste, well, there is just a lot more of the stuff that tops the pizza. So, the bread is less important, the sauce and ingredients take more precedence.

westy · Feb 28, 2013

Niiiiiiiice! I know some say you shouldn't, but did you use cornmeal in the crust?
