Description

This deep-dish pizza features a thick, cornmeal-dusted crust that is crisp on the outside and tender within. The filling is a generous layer of sliced mozzarella cheese topped with a robust sauce made from crushed whole tomatoes, minced garlic, and aromatic sage. Baked at high heat before being lowered to finish cooking, the result is a savory, satisfying main dish perfect for weekend dinners or casual gatherings. It captures the essence of Chicago-style comfort food with a homemade touch, offering a hearty meal that brings the whole family together.

Note

Original recipe source: THE PIZZA BOOK, by Evelyn Sloman.

Ensure water is between 110-115 degrees Fahrenheit to activate the yeast without killing it.

Use a deep-dish pan or a springform pan to achieve the authentic Chicago style depth.

Allow the pizza to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing to let the cheese set slightly.
