Recipe By:owensjo


"I have it on good authority that this is the real deep dish pizza dough that's used in Chicago. The real thing is nothing like bread, or e
ven pizza, dough. It is a buttery, flaky crust that is achieved by: 1) using corn oil (not butter) and 2) minimal mixing and kneading times. The pizza itself is built with cheese, toppings, and sauce, in that order. I suggest you use 6-in-1(R) tomatoes which are far superior to other brands. Classico(R) ground tomatoes are very similar. Contrary to popular opinion, cornmeal is not used in the dough by Chicago pizzerias."


Ingredients
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons white sugar
1 1/8 cups warm water - 110 to 115 degrees F (43 to 45 degrees C)
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup corn oil
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt


Directions
Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a bowl. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam.


Combine yeast mixture, flour, corn oil, and kosher salt in a large stand mixer with a hook attachment; knead until dough holds together but is still slightly sticky, about 2 minutes.


Form dough into a ball and transfer to a buttered bowl, turning to coat. Cover bowl with a towel and allow dough to rise at room temperature until double in size, 6 hours.


Punch down dough and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. Press dough into a 10-inch deep dish pizza pan.

SAUCE RECIPE

2 Tablespoons unsalted butter

1 small onion, grated (about 1/3 cup)*

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional, but recommended)

3 garlic cloves, minced

one 28-ounce can San marzano tomatoes, I used a wire potato masher to break them up.

1/4 teaspoon granulated sugar

Use butter to saute onions then add garlic and saute then add the test of the ingredients and cook down uncovered until very thick.
