A thick-crust pizza from Chicago, baked in a deep pan. The dough is layered with plenty of mozzarella first, followed by the toppings and tomato sauce on top. Its hearty layers make it a standout for entertaining.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead and proof the dough

45 min

Dissolve the yeast in warm water, then add it to the flour with the salt and olive oil. Knead, cover, and let the dough rise for 45 minutes.

2

Press the dough into the pan

10 min

Press the dough into a greased deep pan, pushing it up the sides to form a raised edge.

3

Add the layers

10 min

Place the mozzarella slices on the dough first, followed by the Turkish sausage and mushrooms. Spread the tomato sauce and thyme over the top.

4

Bake the pizza

30 min

Bake in a preheated oven until the edges are browned and the filling is hot throughout. Caution: Because the pizza is thick, make sure the center is cooked before taking it out of the oven.

Reminder

Important: Add the layers in order—cheese first, then the toppings, and sauce on top—or the sauce may seep into the dough and keep the crust from baking through. This takes longer to bake than regular pizza, so make sure the center is cooked. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten) and dairy (mozzarella).
