Deep Dish Pizza Recipe
Deep dish pizza, one of the most popular tastes of American cuisine, has become synonymous with Chicago. This giant-rimmed pizza is made with bacon, mozzarella cheese, and intense tomato sauce. Although optionally enriched with ingredients such as sausage and salami, the original deep dish pizza consists only of cheese and pastrami. Unlike classic pizzas, the sides and dough are rolled out thicker. If the ingredients are ready, we can move on to the details for the Chicago style deep dish pizza recipe.

How to Make Deep Dish Pizza?
For the tomato sauce; First, take the butter in the sauce pan and melt it.
Finely chop the onion and garlic and add them to the melted butter.
Chop the tomatoes coarsely. When the color of the onion starts to change, add the tomato and tomato puree and mix.
When the sauce starts to bubble, add the spices, mix for 1-2 more minutes and remove from the heat.
For pizza dough; Take all the ingredients for the dough (except olive oil and 20 grams of butter) into a mixing bowl and knead.
Add the flour little by little to form a dough in the consistency of an earlobe.
To allow the dough to ferment, apply olive oil on it with the help of a brush and let it rest for 40 minutes.
When the dough is fermented, take it to the floured kitchen counter and thin it with a rolling pin.
Add the melted butter to the middle of the dough and spread it nicely around the edges.
Fold the dough in half like an envelope and let it rest for another 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, set the oven to 180 degrees. Grease a high-sided muffin tin well.
Thin the dough again with the rolling pin and place it in the cake tin.
After cutting the excess edges with a knife, add the tomato sauce on it and spread it all over.
Then add the grated mozzarella cheese and sliced bacon.
Bake in a preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes in a controlled manner. Enjoy your meal.
