Decided to do a Deep Dish pizza again by request from my wife, which is unusual as she never liked deep dish until now.... :emoji_laughing:

Cold proofed the pizza dough for 3 days then brought out to room temp for 2 hours. I saw a recipe that said to add 1 1/2 teaspoons of italian seasoning, and 2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese.

Here are the ingredients: Tomato sauce, rosemary, basil, italian seasoning, sauteed mushrooms and carmelized onions, turkey pepperoni, fresh bell peppers, italian sausage grilled and sliced, and LOTS of shredded mozzarella cheese.

Added the sauce and spices to the dough along with the shredded cheese, pepperoni, and sausage for a first layer.

Then added the peppers, shrooms, and onions...to finish off the first layer.

Second layer, more sauce and spices.

Then cheese, sausage and pepperoni, added to the second layer.

Couple of minutes later removed from grill and put it in the house to cool for a few minutes.

Then out onto the cutting board for cutting.

Hope you all enjoyed it as much as Sue and I did for 3 meals......:emoji_astonished::emoji_astonished::emoji_astonished:

Wow, that's some monster of a pizza pie John, looks like it's got a real nice load of meat on too, Like! When I make a pizza I'll usually vac-seal a couple of slices for the freezer. I don't like eating the same thing too many nights in a row, and it's always handy to have around for a quick thaw and micro-zap. RAY
 
Looks totally awesome John! How heavy is each piece? I'm guessing 3-4 pounds? LOL. Definitely my kind of pie. Glad to see you back in action.

So, it could be argued that you like to cut corners?

I think one sign of a good deep dish pizza is the right ingredients in a proper order, and the other is getting that pie out of the pan, although I've seen some really saucy ones served in the pan. You nailed both of those.

Looks like a hefty pizza mmmm. Kind posting the dough recipe? I have the pizza kit for my ketttle but my biggest issue is getting the dough to not stick to the stone. Costs me about 18%of my pizzas turning into pizzones or fold overs haha. But your dough looks like it came out of the pan perfect

Damn John...what can I say that hasn't already been said? That just looks amazing!! I was gonna do something similar last night but Tracy, unlike Sue, decided that she wanted a hefty meat salad, so that's what we had. Planning on this tonight though. Great job buddy!!
