How to Make Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
- In a large bowl, combine flour, cornmeal, salt, and yeast. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare your toppings. Brown the ground beef in a skillet and drain off any excess grease. Sauté the green bell pepper and onion until softened.
- Grease a 9-inch deep dish pizza pan. Press the dough into the pan, ensuring it reaches the edges and forms a high crust.
- Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce over the dough.
- Evenly distribute the ground beef mixture over the sauce.
- Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese, covering the entire surface.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your Chicago deep dish masterpiece!
