The Real Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza Dough

Ingredients:

2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

1 1/2 cups warm water 110F/45C

1 tsp sugar

3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

1 tsp salt

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy.

In a separate large bowl, mix the flour, cornmeal, and salt.

Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Stir until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for 7-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic.

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for about 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Preheat oven to 475F 245C.

Punch down the dough and transfer it to a deep-dish pizza pan, stretching it to fit the bottom and sides.

Add your desired toppings, bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

A deep-dish pizza crust that brings Chicagos famous flavors right to your kitchen!
