Deep Dish Pizza - perfected (I think)
« Reply #-1 on: November 18, 2017, 05:39:50 PM »
So I've been making my brother's deep dish pizza recipe almost every weekend for about a month in attempt to make the best deep dish pizza I can.  The recipe is based off of Lou Malnati's deep dish.  I think I finally got it to where it is consistently tasty.
Here's the dough pressed into the pans.

Here's the sliced mozzarella on top of the dough.

Here's the sausage on top of the cheese.

Here's the sauce on top of everything.

Out of the oven.

Here's one of the pies out of the pan cooling while I wait patiently.

And finally here's a slice.

My problem with deep dish is my sauce becomes too watery.  can we get some sauce details, maybe a dough recipe.  I do like my east coast thin crust pizza but would never pass up that pizza casserole :P

Here's the recipe:

For the dough, which makes enough for one 9-inch pizza:
201 grams unbleached flour
92 grams water
38 grams corn oil
8 grams olive oil (not extra virgin)
1 gram yeast (not active dry yeast)
Mix until dough pulls away from side of bowl.  (I just use my hands instead of my KitchenAid mixer.)
Put in bowl (no oil needed) and cover with tea towel.  Into oven with oven light on and a container of boiling water (to add moisture).  Let proof 1 hour, punch down dough, and repeat 2 more times.  I add new boiling water each hour.  After the 3 hours, you can either make the pizza right then or wrap it in plastic wrap and put in fridge for a few days.  Press dough into 9" pan up the sides.

For the sauce:
1 can of crushed tomatoes
Little bit of EVOO
Oregano
Salt and pepper to taste

Use part-skim mozzarella, sliced.  Cover with uncooked sausage, then sauce, then Parmesan cheese.  Cook at 475 F for 25 minutes.
Here is a YouTube video of Marc Malnati explaining how to make Lou Malnati's deep dish to use as a guide.

Being a So. Philly boy, I tend towards thin crust pizza with the sauce on the bottom, but I'll definitely take a slice (or three) of that.  In fact, let's just one of those a Personal Pan Pizza ! ! !
