Chicago Style Deep Dish (pr0n)

[CakeM1x]

The wife and her sister and husband were coming into town and asked to do some deep dish pizza since they were driving by an italian shop we use to live by. Picked up cheese/dough/hot suasage/margheritta pepperoni. While they were on the way I started the pizza sauce. Shredded onion, garlic, oregano, basil, san marzano tomatoes into the pot for about 40 minutes and finished with chopped basil/olive oil.

Sauce simmering away

Basil/olive oil added

Next was browning the sausage. I like to make a big patty and then cut it up.
Onto the CI

browned

Next up peppers/onions

Done to my liking

Fired up the big joe for 2 of the 3 pies and got that cruising at 425

Inside to form the pies

On they go, 2 on the joe and 1 in the oven. Didn't know how much smoke they'd pick up so did 1 in the oven to be safe.

40ish minutes passed, time to pull

Inside

Out of the pans and onto racks to rest/set

Pie for the dudes

Split in half

I cheated and used the frozen dough they sell at the italian store. Didn't have time to make fresh as they sprung pizza on me.

I get dough balls from my favorite pizza joint. You should check with yours and see if they will sell you some.
