Bret's Deep Dish



A bit tardy for posting on this topic...... Last night's dinner PIZZA turned out as one of my best! JD asked for the Deep Dish "Chicago Style" loaded with meat & cheese. The pepperoni's off the charts "spicy" level by itself could make your eyes water.



I diced the green & yellow pepper, mushroom, with the onion to fry in the hamburger and Italian sausage so the meat would "steam cook" and not get browned. The meat and veggies I then added to my sweet Sicilian Marinara. My sauce is loaded with basil, oregano, and fennel so each bite is bursting with flavor.



The top of the pizza was sealed in a Mozzi & Piccarino cheese layer



I/we were both so dang hungry we dove into the pizza before I remembered to get some pictures.... Opppsss...... Now you get a clear side view of a Chicago Style Pizza!

WoW! That's some DEEP dish pizza. I would have loved to share a bite with you and JD. Too bad there are no leftovers. LOL!

I've thrown out all my pizza pans, so would have to make it in a cookie sheet. Same thing but not round. One of these days, maybe, if I can afford some ingredients.

It's 30F here this morning, partly sunny, SE 5 mph. I will be going to look at the neighbor's outdoor Christmas display of elves and gnomes, Santa, and frosty. Then will walk the dog after lunch.

Pizza crust is so simple. 1 cup water, dash of salt, sprinkle of sugar, packet yeast couple TBS ol;ive oil and 3.5 /4 cups flour.

not real Italian pepperoni and not even cured upwards when heated to 475 degrees most pizza ovens reach.
Not traditional Italian or Greek crust but like the Pizza huts thick and chewy garbage crap they have served since 1971.
Lastly you cant cook a pizza at home without a Blodget brick lined pizza oven that uses gas for fuel.
Wrong cheese, sauce too thick, your out to lunch Bretty..

whats your sign Cancer??? how fitting

I've stood and watched the Greek, Italian, and Egyptian pizza makers and viewed their wood fired ovens. No I don't currently have their style or abilities. However, I DO HAVE The pile of brick & stone to make my wood fired bread oven along with the financial wherefore to DO IT.
