- Serves:
- 2-3
ingredients
- 295.73 ml bread flour
- 59.14 ml semolina
- 96.13 ml warm water
- 1.23 ml active dry yeast
- 0.61 ml salt
- 9.85 ml olive oil
- 36.97 ml corn oil
- 2.46 ml butter
directions
- First proof your yeast by adding it to the warm water and letting sit for 8 minutes or so.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a medium mixing bowl, you can sift the flour and semolina together if you like, but it is not needed.
- Add proofed yeast to dry mixture and mix by hand, well you can use a utensil just not with an electric mixer.
- Now for the oil, add the oil to the bowl.
- Melt the butter and let cool, then add to mixture.
- Knead lightly for around 1-2 minutes. The texture here is not going to be as smooth as bread, this dough is flaky and if you over knead it it just isn't right.
- Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. If you have more time your can punch it down after an hour and let rise again.
- Oil your deep dish pizza pan (or cake pan) and press the dough out and up the sides. Contrary to pizza delivery chains real deep dish pizza has a thin crust.
- Top with provolone, sausage, pepporoni, veggies and sauce (or whatever you like).
- Bake at 475 for 10 mins, turn and bake another 10-20 minutes.
