Instructions
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Add the olive oil and 2 tsp salt to the yeast mixture.
- Gradually add the flour while mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until it's smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it proof for 2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Prepare the Tomato Sauce:
- In a small saucepan, combine the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, 1 tsp dried basil, 1 tsp dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Simmer the sauce over low heat for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
Assemble the Pizza:
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F).
- Grease a deep-dish pizza pan or a cast-iron skillet with olive oil.
- Press the proofed dough evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan to create a crust.
- Layer half of the mozzarella cheese on the bottom of the crust.
- Add the cooked Italian sausage, diced tomatoes, green bell pepper, onion, minced garlic, chopped basil, and 1 tsp dried oregano evenly over the cheese.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the prepared tomato sauce over the pizza toppings.
- Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
- Allow the pizza to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
- Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Chicago-style pizza!
Notes
- Feel free to customise your Chicago-style pizza with your favourite toppings.
- Make sure to let the pizza rest for a few minutes after baking to make it easier to slice and serve.
- Chicago-style pizza is known for its deep-dish crust, so don't be afraid to press the dough up the sides of the pan to create a substantial crust.
- You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it overnight for added flavour.
