Sooooooooooooooo.... I felt like some Pizza.
Took out my starter.
Thanks Sonny.
Did the whole feed it thing, then after I saved what I needed, I took a shot ;D and went on to makin some pizza dough.
First I took what was left, on a side note I have cut my starer in half so I'm only startin with 1/2 cup, and added 1/2 cup hot water, 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour, 1 tea salt 1/2 tea active dry yeast, to give it a kick, now take another shot ;D
Mix the yeast with the water and a pinch of sugar, let sit wile you measure out the rest of the stuff.
Then dump the starter in the KA bowl, add the water/yest and start the mixer on low.
When that has mixed together start adding the flour.
Let rest round 5 min, then knead, scraping off the hook every now and then, for bout 8 min, or until you have a smooth lookin ball of joy.
Now dump your dough in a greased bowl, cover and go do some chores ::)
When that has raised to almost double plop out in a oiled deep dish pan, I use EVOO and flatten out. It will spring back, when it does, wait bout 15 min and try again.
Now try to bring the dough up the sides of the pan, if it starts to fight you again wait again.
Pre heat the oven to 450 F
Now after the dough has givin into the master its time to let it rise till as thick as you like then throw in the oven for 7 min.
Now start addin the goodies.
I used 1 ld ground chuck, 1 lb pepperoni, 1 lb mozzarella, a can of petite tomatoes and some pizza sauce.
The trick to deep dish, for me, is put down 1/2 lb of the cheese right on the crust, then the beef, the tomatoes a layer of pepperoni the rest of the cheese then another layer of pepperoni.
Now bake at 450 for 10 to 15 min and tada!
A pizza pie.

Yep, gittin everything ready to do again this weekend.
Taby loves it!
Add it to the Bread Post, Master Baker!
Beautiful! I have not seen a deep dish like that since a visit to Chicago 20 some years ago. West Coast seems to like the paper thin crust these days.
Coming Soon -------OU812 BBQ and Pizza Joint
Now that's a pizza!
Nice! I think I need to make some this weekend
That looks incredibly good!
Really nice !
Dang, Now that's a pizza!
cowabunga!
Looks fabulous! I can just taste the toasted cheese around the edges. I'm wanting to try some thin crust using a stone on the Traeger next time I do pizza. I've never done deep dish but it looks amazing!!
That looks better than a lot of pizza chains around here.... Can you send me a slice?
I would love to have a nice chunk of pizza like that OU, But i dont think i could get my gastro doc to take fluid out of my lap band :-\
Looks great
Thanks everyone.
It takes some time and a few shots to get the dough to stay up on the edges.
Did up another pie this weekend but rather than 2 layers of pepperoni I had a layer of pepperoni and a layer of Canadian bacon.
Now thats a pie, beef, Canadian bacon and pepperoni with diced tomatoes some homemade sauce and a whole bunch of cheese.
Would make a supreme pie with all the veggies but the girls dont like all that crap on it. ::)
I'm thinkin of makin a big ole pie with all the fixins just for me, soon. 8)
