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

Method
 

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Preheat oven until 400F.
  6. 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.
  7. Top with your favourite pizza toppings and toss in the oven for 25 minutes until fully baked.
