Chicago style deep dish pizza

[smokininthegarden]

Here is my take on a Chicago style deep dish pizza. I have been wanting to try this for awhile now so I decided to finally buy a pan to make it in.
Here is the pan, cast iron of course and about 2” deep.

And now the dough.

The pan is very liberally greased with butter.

Then the bottom crust is rolled out to just hang over the edge of the pan. Which I don’t seem to have a pic of.
Any ways the dough filled pan is then stuffed with favorite fillings, first lots of mozzarella cheese, some of my browned Italian sausage, some of my
Dry cured pepperoni and some of my cured Canadian bacon.

Then top with remaining crust, the sauce and more cheese.

Bake, slice, enjoy.

Looks Awesome, Cal !!
Really Nice Job!!
Like.
However that Canadian Bacon looks more like Buckboard Bacon. Seems to be more fat than any Pork Loin I get around here. I like Buckboard Bacon more than CB anyway.

Great looking pizza for sure! I need to try this out. Did you oven bake it or grill it?

You are on to me bear, when I made the Canadian bacon I had some coppa on hand so I used that instead of
pork loin. I like it with more fat, seems to give it more flavor.

Hi VOLfan
I baked it in the oven @ 550 deg. The same as I do any pizza, that temp seems to work well for me.
