Ingredientes

2 packages rapid rise dry yeast
2 cups warm water (about 110F)
5 ½ cups all-purpose flour
In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in warm
water. When fully dissolved, add in the oils, cornmeal and half of the flour;
mix for 10 minutes. Attach the dough hook, add in the other half of the flour
and set on medium speed. The dough will be ready when it pulls easily from the
sides of the bowl. Place the dough onto a floured board, cover with a large
bowl; let it rise till it doubles in size. Punch the dough down, cover; let it
rise again. Punch it down a second time; time to make the pizza.
The thickness of the dough will depend on the size of the
deep dish pan being used; ¼” for a 10” pan; 1/8” for a 15” pan. The depth of a deep dish pan is typically 2
inches; some are 1.5 inches, but I personally like the extra depth in case of
overflow. Lightly coat the pan with
olive oil; place dough in center of pan and push out evenly to edges, then up
the sides of the pan to the top rim.
Basic Filling -
for 10” deep dish pan
½ lb. each sliced provolone and mozzarella cheeses
1 (10 ½ oz.) can crushed tomatoes
1 (10 ½ oz.) can diced tomatoes, drained
1 Tbsp. each dried oregano, basil
¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
Cover the dough with alternating slices of provolone and
mozzarella cheeses. In a medium size bowl, mix together crushed and diced
tomatoes, herbs, garlic and salt; spread mixture evenly over cheese slices.
Sprinkle grated cheese evenly over tomato mixture.
The pizza will be baked in a preheated 475F oven for
35-40 minutes, on the center rack; the exposed crust will be a golden brown;
the tomato mixture will be bubbly.
These can be added on top of the cheese slices, before
the tomato mixture goes on top; in any combination; the choices are numerous.
1 lb. of ground Italian sausage (mild or hot) or seasoned
ground beef – the meat is uncooked; cooking the meat before usage will toughen
it.
1 cup sliced vegetables: onion, bell peppers, hot
peppers, mushrooms, olives
1 cup pepperoni slices or thinly sliced prosciutto
The deep dish pans can easily be found online for purchase. Do not get frustrated if the pizza does not
