Chicago Style Crust (round 2)

[Jason TQ]

Continuing the saga of Detroit style crust. Calling this attempt #2 though my first go round here was simply with my regular dough recipe that at the last minute decided to put it into a detroit style pan.

That was a very successful thread for me as it seemed like actual information was shared vs me just posting pictures of delicious IceHouse Edge/Steele Reserve :crazy:. (Thanks everyone for the help so far)

I'm following the serious eats recipe that was shared 100%. Notice I've called this thread "Chicago Style Crust" as I'm not sold on the way the toppings are done :crazy:

Measured stuff out and got to the part where the dough forms a loose ball and letting it rest for 10mins

So the only part where I'm lying about the 100% is i'm using active yeast that I proofed in warm water vs instant yeast. I'm sure this won't lead to more lying........:becky:

So first pic is when it was done mixing for 10mins. Really stuck to the bottom.

Pic 2.....holy hell, not sure how you can form this wet sack of crap into a "tight ball" vs just have it all stick to you hands and cause instant regret [emoji12]. Took a little extra flour to get it to this state.....which is far from a "tight ball".

Anyways, moving on for the ~2hr rest and me cheating on icehouse edge.

I feel you. I hate any "do it yourself" dough recipes because apparently the dough didn't read the directions on how it is supposed to perform/react to my hard work. At least you appear to have something that is going to be edible from your efforts.

I really enjoy your cooks and choice of beverages! Enjoy and happy new year!

Long story short....the crust was awesome. Way better chew/fluffiness and everyone thought it was better than the last. Not just me.

1 out of 2 ain't bad.
