As a good Chicagoan, I am in love with Chicago-style pizza. I grew up eating deep dish pizza every Friday night with my family. Since we moved to Spain, we haven't stopped thinking about it. The buttery crisp crust, gooey cheese that stretches forever, the spicy fennel infused Italian sausage, and the tangy tomato sauce to balance it out is what I'm talking about. We had to come up with this recipe because we missed it so much and it hit all the marks, making this the best Chicago style pizza we've ever had.

I do not usually comment. Grew up North Side suburban Chicago. Mom and Dad went to Uno's on Sundays- starting for me 1956. Years before they sold out to KFC. Went to Lou's grand opening Lincolnwood around 70 or 71. So I have been eating this for oh- 60 plus years. Started trying to duplicate it maybe 10 years ago in Boston. 5 years in East TN retired- NO PIZZA ANYWHERE! Malanati Jr. and his brother both mention BUTTER CRUST but they say they don't use butter. Who Cares! Probably LARD. That's what was used in the forties and fifties. This dough works. I used a half stick of Irish Butter smearing it over the dough while Kneading. Maybe the best pizza I have ever made. I cannot thank you enough. Yeah- I KNOW NAYSAYERS. THERE IS NO CORNMEAL!!! Get a life. This works.

@TheSmartFitLife 6 месяцев назад

@nealsimmons2853 I grew up in Cicero and Paisan's pizza was at our house every Friday night. Not deep dish, but the family ritual started there. Now this deep dish pizza isn't a replica of any of the big three pizza franchises in Chicago, but rather a selection of their best qualities (personal opinion and wife's input). We honored this recipe made it to the top of your homemade pizzas. It was worth waking up at 4:30 a.m. to calculate Baker's percentage and everything to the gram. We believe we can still make this recipe better. When we have that recipe we hope you give it a try too. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙌 And YES the CORNMEAL DOES SOMETHING SPECIAL TO THIS PIZZA. 🍕

@artguilljr Год назад

This is more a Lou Malnati's or Uno's recipe.. Giordano's doesn't use corn meal in the dough... Also, they use butter to line the pans not olive oil.... but the biggest difference is that Giordano's uses a top dough covering, sealing in the ingredients like a pie... i grew up in a Giordano's my uncle was a franchise owner back in the day.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Thanks Art! I made a lot of changes combining what I liked best from the different chains that make deep dish. So this is really a unique recipe. Hope you like it and thanks for the facts. ;)

@jeffbayne15 Год назад

You are correct Sir and Giordano's Is The BEST Pizza in Chicago!!!

@charlesfinnegan7930 Год назад

Yes true Giordano's is stuffed pizza, The others are deep dish.

@andytheawesome7592 11 месяцев назад

Neither Lou Malnati’s nor Uno’s uses cornmeal in their dough; that’s a myth. The corn taste comes from corn OIL.

And I loveeeee that cheese, we'd all laugh at the stretches lol. and the crust... mmmmmmm yessss to die for. 😊 and that big ol big piece of sausage... mmmm you know there's a piece in every bite !!!

@sscam2001 4 месяца назад

For the meat I like the pinch method, form a giant ball from your meat, pinch off a thumbsized portion, flatten it in your grasp and place it on the edge, repeat until the edge has a good circle of meat, and work your way into the middle, leave some small gaps so the cheese can bubble up through the meat layer.

@TheSmartFitLife 4 месяца назад

@sscam2001 the pinch method. 🤔 OK, I like the sound of that and the cheese bubbling up through the gaps. I was just going to ask for the "Why" of that method and you provided it. Thanks. Going to give that a try with my next pizza pie. 🍕

@pdigi3179 Год назад

Ppl love to say deep dish is a tourist treat but I highly disagree ! My mother is from the southside so I grew up spending a lot of time around Chi and deep dish is my all-time favorite thing to eat ! I live in Indy and luckily being so close there is no shortage of places here to get great authentic deep dish and I’m grateful for that. To think there’s ppl in the world who’ve never tried a pie like this saddens me lol

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

We agree! It is a treat regardless of who you are and where you come from. Hearty, different, satiating, cheesy, and American. What's not to love? People should try it whether they think it should be called pizza or not. Regardless of its label, judge the food based on taste, smell, and feel. And if you're feeling sad, it might be time for a slice of pizza pie, because it always brings happiness. Thanks for your comment!

@PhoticSneezeOne 2 месяца назад

One pro advice: Don´t use sugar to balance the acidity out, use a small pinch of baking soda. It neutralizes the acid und you get a naturally sweet sauce.

@TheSmartFitLife 2 месяца назад

@photicsneezeone thanks for the advice. I added the sugar because it reminds me of Paisan's pizza's sauce which is a little sweeter than most. I'm going to take your advice and maybe I just reduce it more to make it sweeter.

I live in Omaha, Nebraska so I’m very happy Davlo Pizza is a pizzeria that sells Chicago deep dish pizza which likely is the same as Giordano’s deep dish pizza. The deep dish pizza looks identical to Giordano’s, and it tastes the exact same which I doubt are coincidences.

@tylerwalton4086 2 месяца назад

Question, could I substitute yellow corn meal with cornbread mix instead? Or are they the same thing?

@TheSmartFitLife 2 месяца назад

Yellow cornmeal is a single ingredient, while cornbread mix includes cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and other additives. Substituting cornbread mix for yellow cornmeal changes the proportions, reducing the amount of cornmeal in the recipe. Here's another example, imagine using plain flour instead of cake mix. Plain flour is just one ingredient, while cake mix includes flour, sugar, and baking powder. Substituting cake mix for flour would make the recipe sweeter and affect the texture. In short, cornbread mix cannot replace yellow cornmeal without altering the recipe's balance. Thanks for asking.

@andrewmendoza8165 10 месяцев назад

@thesmartfitrecipes I added dry Italian herb seasoning "oregano, basil, marjoram, parsley, and red chili flake." Also, a friend suggested I heat up the pan on the stove top prior to putting the "cast-iron pan" in the oven to help get the crust going on the bottom. Which I did. I also did your suggestion and had the pizza stone to help reflect the heat in the oven.

@bmxbicycleracingusa651 Год назад

You mention add grated cheese, but which cheese was grated? I thought it was the mozz, but you mention lay the mozz (discs) i was confused, where is the provologne?

@dannac_8888 Год назад

Grated cheese is Parmigiano reggiano cheese Grated on top after you put on the sauce and veggies. You can find a good reasonable priced block of it from Trader Joe's. Depending on how aged it is it can be expensive. No provolone cheese on a pizza. Mozz and maybe parm. No parm on a New Haven pizza during cooking.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

I would always recommend buying a block of cheese and grating it yourself because it will melt the best. Unfortunately, where I live mozzarella in large pieces can't be found or at least I haven't discovered it yet, so I had to use sliced mozzarella which is still way better than pre-grated cheese. In the video I grated the provolone, but the mozzarella discs were left as is. Grated Parmigiano reggiano was added after the pizza had cooked. Hope that helps and thanks for your comment.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Why can't provolone go on a pizza? Sincerely interested in knowing. We used it because in Chicago, provolone cheese is used on pizzas in combination with mozzarella. It's a semi sharp nutty and buttery flavored cheese which plays well with mozzarella which has a milky wholesome flavor, best of all they both melt fantastically. Thanks for all your comments and input D'Anna.

@jeffweber8244 Год назад

This recipe for the crust, sauce, and fresh sausage! appears to be a copy from Brian Langerstrom’s video that preceded it. Incidentally, he posted a later video with adjustments for improvements.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Thanks for sharing that. We'll have to check out his video. I made the crust recipe wanting the buttery taste and crumbly feel of a biscuit, but a crispy almost fried exterior and from trial and error came up with a good ratio of butter and oil in the crust. The sauce, needed to be as fresh as possible, seasoned and good tasting on its own so we did just that. Our tomatoes didn't make it through the summer so we couldn't use garden-fresh tomatoes like we would have liked. Living in Spain it is impossible to find Italian sausage and that left us with no other choice, but to make our own. Trial and error gave us that balance and reminded us of pizza Friday nights. Had we known @BrianLagerstrom made something similar first maybe we would have saved some time. :D With all the comments we've received we'll also be coming out with some modifications, and stick to trial and error.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Yes, of course! if we had pepperoni we would have added it on there too. Growing up my favorite was pepperoni and sausage pizza. We only have chorizo here in Spain. It's similar, but too different and changes the flavor profile of the whole pizza. What are your go-to toppings for pizza?

I was very surprised seeing Lou Malnati’s pizza mostly looks the same as Giordano’s pizza.

@TheSmartFitLife 8 месяцев назад

@jasoncase9481 Yeah, they look similar, but taste is very different. The tomato sauce on Lou's is much more complex than Giordano's and they add a whole thin layer of Italian sausage versus just little sausage pieces scattered like Giordano's. Giordano's also does this thing where they add a thin layer of dough between the ingredients on the bottom and the sauce. Both are good, but different. I guess when you fill a bowl made of dough with ingredients and top it with sauce it might look the same. Thanks for the comments! 💪

Authentic Chicago deep dish--like Giordano's--does not contain cornmeal and never has. It also uses oil (usually canola or corn) and lots of it (about 3 TBS per cup of flour) and a very short mix/knead time (think making biscuits, not bread). Never pre-cook the sauce.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Thanks tba1879 for the input and knowledge. We put this together using the best of our resources and preferences. The cornmeal adds a unique texture and flavor to the pizza. We found a balance between butter and oil in the dough to give us a buttery and cushy crusty yet light and crunchy crust that browned just right...in a home oven. In Chicago, many, not all, pizzerias add sugar to the sauce making it a bit sweet. So we intended to use the natural sugars of tomatoes by reducing the sauce beforehand and adding less sugar. You seem like you've got some deep insight. Got a recipe to share with us? We're always open to growth, improvement and making the world a happier place through food.

@tba1879 Год назад

@@TheSmartFitLife My response was to alert you to the correct recipe to make authentic Chicago deep dish, which is to use oil and a very short mix/knead time to achieve the biscuit-like crust. The cornmeal myth seems to have arisen as an answer to the golden color of the crust, but this is incorrect. Way back when they were using a food dye called "egg shade" to achieve this. You don't want to pre-cook the sauce because then you effectively cooking ti twice, which reduces the freshness. Use a high-quality ground tomato product like 6-in-1 (if you can find it) and 3/4 part-skim mozzarella and 1/4 whole milk mozzarella.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

@tba1879 thanks a lot, and we mean that sincerely. You may have just inspired us to come up with a deep dish pizza 2.0 which would not only be quicker, but also closer to the original. The double cooking of the tomato sauce makes more sense now that you mention it, and the biscuit-like crust is exactly what we're after. We'll be sure to give credit when that recipe comes out. 🙌

@tba1879 Год назад

@@TheSmartFitLife Sounds good! I hope it works for you! 1-minute mix/2-minute knead (don't forget to proof the yeast first). If you can't find the 6-in-1's you can try Cento or Pagliacci.

@tba1879 Год назад

If you want to use hand-crushed whole tomatoes make sure that you drain them well so the crust doesn't get wet (laying down the cheese first helps, but...). Depending on your oven you may want to par-bake the crust so it sets up a little. I used to use Stella cheese which was excellent but I can't find it anymore so now I use Frigo (it should be readily available at most grocery stores).

@TheSmartFitLife 9 месяцев назад

Cooking at home with a normal oven versus a professional pizza oven is different. Broil to finish the top, bottom cook in case the pie didn't cook all the way through. We're real, not perfect. In order to get the perfect results you makeshift the process. Got another suggestion? We're open to recommendations. Happy Holidays!

@BecBurb Год назад

what if you dont own a pizza stone?

@WorldGoyimUnite Год назад

You can borrow mine 😊

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

No problem. The pizza stone helps cook the bottom of the pizza better giving a crispier crust. I would still have the top and bottom burners on. The other change you might might need to do is let the pizza cook on the stovetop just a little longer to get that bottom crispy. But keep an eye on it so you don't burn it. 😉 Let us know how it comes out. 😁

AP flour, No cornmeal and use corn oil, and never pre cook sauce if you want authentic.

@TheSmartFitLife 11 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tips. We personally like the cornmeal in the dough, but you can easily just substitute those grams for grams of AP flour. We'd use corn oil, if we lived in the USA, but in Spain we have sunflower oil and of course high quality olive oil. If you've got corn oil, use it if you'd like they've got plenty in Chicago. We cooked down the sauce because we like it a little sweeter like the pizzeria Paisans, in Chicago. We're gathering suggestions from everyone for our next deep dish video. So thanks again for authentic suggestions.

Smh.... so many things are wrong with this. Corn meal in the dough... olive oil in the cast iron instead of butter with corn meal and parm... shredded cheese on bottom instead of the sliced provolone... sugar in every ingredient... idk man seems super sweet and gimmicky.

@TheSmartFitLife Год назад

Thanks for sharing your opinion. This is our recipe, put together by all the things we like most from all the different pizzerias we've tried growing up in Chicago. So wrong and gimmicky, no. It's just ours and we want to share it with others. Corn meal may or may not go in the dough, giordanos.com/how-to-make-the-perfect-chicago-style-pizza/ We like it, so we added it. We had butter in the dough for that biscuit buttery taste, but olive oil in the cast iron offers a crisper and more flavorful crust. We live in Spain and source the best ingredients we can find locally, to which they only sell blocks of provolone and not slices. Freshly grated cheese always trumps pre-sliced or pre-grated cheeses. After talking with others who have commented like you Cisco, I agree maybe I would not have cooked down the tomato sauce prior to baking because then it may be too sweet for some. However, if you try this recipe and make it for yourself (and to share of course), you'll see it's not sweet, it's on point. Also, I grew up on Paisan's pizza in Cicero, their sauce is a little sweeter than most, so maybe unconsciously I made it just the way I like it. Again, thanks for your comment. We're always looking to improve and offer better recipes.

To each their own, but Lou Malnati's is very good. I like their crust the most and the fact that there's a layer of sausage and not just mini meatballs sparsely spread out is also another one of their strengths. Those are the two things I tried to include in this recipe. Giordano's is spotty and can be inconsistent, but the one downtown near Millenium Park is good.

Also when dealing with things like breads with yeast in them not only does the water highly affect the outcome but also the relative humidity and altitude of Chicagoland!

Salt to make the tomato flavor pop and sugar to balance some of the acidity too. These are canned crushed tomatoes, I haven't been able to access great whole tomatoes to crush myself, and this year yield of tomatoes in our garden was sad due to drought. We'll continue to work on the recipe and sorting out better ingredients. Thanks for your comment and I hope you still give our recipe a try, with no salt or sugar of course. 😀

deep dish pizza is a tourist trap. its disgusting.

@TheSmartFitLife 9 месяцев назад

Invented in 1943, "In a reflection of ancient customs, the idea for deep-dish stemmed once more from poorer, working-class needs combined with a lack of necessary ingredients due to World War II. People would make a dough of sorts with what they had, adding leftover food and anything else they could think of to create a pie-like substance." Doesn't sound like it was invented as a tourist trap, and even locals like the occasional slice of deep dish. Is it disgusting? 🤔 Are buttery flaky dough, Italian sausage, cheese and tomato sauce disgusting? I mean maybe, if you are low carb, keto, vegan, carnivore, vegetarian, and lactose intolerant. Then yeah, don't eat this. If you like food and want to try something locally created in its site of origin try it. When in Rome do as the Romans do. When is Chicago try deepndish pizza, tavern style pizza and don't put ketchup on your hotdogs. 😁 Thanks for you comment by the way.
