Deep Dish Pizza

We all love a good thin crust pizza but sometimes you just need a deep dish crust that will satisfy those carb-loving desires. The recipe below makes one pizza but I usually double the recipe so that we have plenty of leftovers for the following day.

Deep Dish Pizza

Prep Time 2 hours
Cook Time 25 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/3 Warm Water
  • 2 tsp Honey
  • 1 package Instant Yeast
  • 3 1/2 cup All-purpose FLour
  • 1/4 cup Extra-Virgin Olive Oil plus more for drizzling
  • 1/2 cup Tomato Paste
  • 1 tsp Dried Oregano
  • 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 tsp Flaky Sea Salt 
  • Favoutie pizza toppings

Instructions
 

  • In a medium-large bowl, warm water warm and active-dry yeast. Give the yeast a quick stir to mix it in with the water. Then let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is foamy.
  • Next, combine flour, extra virgin olive oil, and salt. Using a sturdy wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, mix until all of the flour is well incorporated.
  • Once combined, remove dough from the mixing bowl and use your hands to shape it into a ball. Grease the mixing bowl with olive oil or coconut oil cooking spray, then place the dough ball back in the bowl and cover it with a damp towel.  Place in a warm location and let the dough rise for 45-60 minutes, or until it has nearly doubled in size.
  • After the dough has risen for the first time. Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a rectangular until that the dough is about 1/2-inch thick and place on a parchment covered baking pan. Cover the dough again with the damp towel, and let the dough continue to rise for another 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven until 400F.
  • Drizzle a tablespoon or two of olive oil evenly all over the top of the dough, and sprinkle evenly the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, sea salt and tomato paste.
  • Top with your favourite pizza toppings and toss in the oven for 25 minutes until fully baked.
