all right let's get into this Chicago
0:01
deep dish pizza First grab your
0:03
ingredients pizza dough mozzarella some
0:05
Parmesan cheese tomato sauce Italian
0:07
seasoning olive oil and your choice of
0:09
beef or chicken Pro tip let your dough
0:12
rest for at least 30 minutes to make it
0:14
easier to work with shred your
0:16
mozzarella fresh for the best melt and
0:18
always pre-cook your meat toppings to
0:20
avoid excess moisture start with the
0:22
dough you want it thick and buttery so
0:24
spread it in a deep dish pan pressing it
0:26
up the sides for best results let the
0:29
dough rest for 15 minutes before shaping
0:32
this helps it relax and makes it easier
0:34
to work with next layer your mozzarella
0:36
on the bottom this will keep your crust
0:38
from getting soggy for an extra cheesy
0:41
flavor use a mix of low moisture and
0:43
fresh mozzarella for the topping I'm
0:46
going with beef today Brown your ground
0:48
beef in a pan seasoning it with some
0:49
salt pepper and Italian seasoning tip
0:52
use a cast iron skillet for even
0:54
Browning if you're doing chicken just
0:56
shred it and season it the same way
0:58
trick poach the chicken for a juicier
1:00
texture once it's cooked spread it over
1:02
the cheese layer tip let the meat cool
1:04
slightly before adding to avoid soggy
1:06
pizza now for the sauce I like to keep
1:09
it simple just some crushed tomatoes a
1:11
little garlic more Italian seasoning and
1:13
a dash of olive oil pour that over the
1:15
beef for chicken making sure to cover it
1:18
all evenly for an extra burst of flavor
1:20
add some fresh basil on top always taste
1:24
your sauce before adding it to ensure
1:25
it's seasoned to your liking top it off
1:27
with a Sprinkle of Parmesan cheese pop
1:30
it in the oven at 400° Fahrenheit for
1:32
about 30 to 35 minutes for an extra
1:35
crispy crust place the pizza on the
1:37
lower rack bake until the crust is
1:39
golden and crispy once it's done let it
1:41
cool for a few minutes trust me you
1:43
don't want to burn your mouth use a
1:45
sharp pizza cutter for clean slices then
1:47
slice it up and enjoy that cheesy Saucy
1:50
goodness whether you go beef or chicken
1:52
it's all about the layers and that rich
1:54
comforting flavor enjoy for extra flavor
