Deep Dish Cheese Pizza
Embrace it. Time to bring a little taste of Chicago to your kitchen.
Ingredients
Forza Pizza’s Deep Dish Dough
1/2 lb Whole milk mozzarella sliced or shredded
15 oz Sauce (recipe here)
1 tsp Oregano
2 Handfuls of pecorino Romano
A drizzle of extra virgin olive oil
Tools
Steps
1. Preheat your oven to bake at 500F.
2. Prepare and stretch dough as described in the Deep Dish Dough Recipe.
3. Lay down or throw some cheese on the bottom like below.
4. For deep dish, most toppings would be added now, on top of the cheese. We’ll get more creative in upcoming recipes. For now, prepare the sauce as described in this recipe and lay it down like below.
5. Sprinkle the oregano on top.
6. Generously sprinkle on the pecorino Romano.
7. Hit it with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
8. You are ready to bake. 500F for approximately 20 minutes. The top of the crust will turn light brown and detach from the pan a little.
9. Using the pan grabber or an oven mitt in one hand, run the metal spatula in between the pizza and the pan to detach it. Then every quarter turn, slip the spatula underneath the pizza to detach from the bottom.
10. Now the tricky part. Once you are confident the entire pizza is detached from the pan, lift the pizza with the spatula and pull the pan away with the other hand. One quick motion! (demo video to come)
