Making a Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza

[jimmiemclovin]

I kinda like the tune, and and the "PIE" looks great!! Good job my man! I actually come back to this vid every now and then when I make my deep dish cause I like your oven setting and temp-and I'm too lazy to write it down, (not to mention the crust is the bomb for a made-at-home pizza.) It's really harder than it seems to make a kick butt pie at home but it looks like you've nailed it.) BTW if any home cooks have a link to a decent NY style pie maybe you could post a link?? Just say'in. Thx.

@jimmiemclovin Maybe one day we will do a video for a New York Pizza. Until then go to pizzamaking com and check out the recipes there.

[zoranest]

good job try to step it up and make an even deeper dish pizza

[Sprinkles1979]

I'd rather listen to pigs being slaughtered than that song for 9 minutes. Hell of a pizza though dude, nice work.

[marlal]

shouldn't there be 2 layers of dough in deep dish pizza?????

[dkmfwtx]

@marlal Not for traditional deep dish in the style of Uno, Malnati's or Gino's East. Double crusts in the style of Giordano's are normally called "Stuffed".

[elvisworldwide]

I'm making that this weekend. Fantastic. Thanks.

[iiHatezDomii]

@elvisworldwide how was it? was it delish? I wanna try this =]

[parvezawais]

whyd u use your hands for putting in the sauce?

[dkmfwtx]

@parvezawais probably wasn't a spoon near by. I didn't set out for this to be on YouTube, my son just wanted to record me making the pizza. After he edited it he asked if I would load it to YouTube. So I had him replace all the noise in the background and posted it. Figured it might at best get 100 views.

[superfool1]

Man oh man, looks delicious. (:

[Michael55443]

It looks like a regular piece of pizza with a tall crust. I was expecting more toppings in it.

[dkmfwtx]

@Michael55443 Yeah, well... the Doctor wouldn't want me putting on that much.

[vanmoody]

@dkmfwtx I hear ya about the toppings. Good looking homemade pie bro. It reminds me of the Malnatis pies I've seen made.

[cbcboston]

@Michael55443 thats what deep dish is

[BudgieBobbarooo]

I was very surprised to see you adding the dry yeast directly to the dough mixture without allowing it to grow on it's own. I always let mine grow in a cup with a tsp. of sugar and a cup of room temp. water. After it grows for about 15 min., I introduce it into the dough mixture and begin blending it.

[dkmfwtx]

@BudgieBobbarooo If you are wanting a quick rise you can do that, but you don't have to. Since I was doing a long rise mixing it dry was better.

[righteous30]

@dkmfwtx hi i was wondering do you need to be a pretty skilled cooker to do this or can me a novice probably do it?

[dkmfwtx]

@righteous30 It helps, but is not 100% required. The main thing is to have the ability to adapt as needed.

[KissHope]

@dkmfwtx

It actually depends on the type of yeast you are using, Quick active doesn't need to be proofed, however regular active should be because the bloom of the yeast will ensure a good rise. Also if you have some dead yeast you won't know til you have tried to let it rise after adding all your ingredients. That can be a gamble sometimes and a waste of money. I always proof first, even though it comes in three packs have gotten 1 out of the 3 dead.

[dkmfwtx]

@KissHope I don't use packs. I rarely proof anymore.

[six6sicmaggot]

My dough didnt bake right. It turned out soft. what did I do wrong? I let it settle overnight(not in fridge).

[dkmfwtx]

@six6sicmaggot Could be a number of things. Dough to wet, wrong kind of pan, oven not hot enough, too much liquid in the toppings. Try the forum at pizzamaking com for hints and suggestions

[vampbass1]

You almost got it !!!!......Only thing is, you have to spread the sausage the length the pan bottom and sauce. VERY GOOD!!!!

[LeRomantiques]

And also, i will like to ask. The water is using hot water or cold water?

[dkmfwtx]

@LeRomantiques if letting it rise overnight in the fridge, then cold, otherwise warm

[LeRomantiques]

Cook for 450 degrees. Is that in Fahrenheit or Celsius?

[dkmfwtx]

@LeRomantiques Fahrenheit

[NoahGill1999]

HOW LONG DO YOU LET IT STIR?

[dkmfwtx]

@NoahGill1999 The entire mixing time is shown in the video. Mix until the dough just comes together, about 1 minute not more than two

[Trashfished]

Wow! That sure turned out nice. gonna do one today!

[JandJ50]

where do you get a pan like that?

[DelvinDelight]

Awesome. I just got 2 thick pans at the thrift store for 1.50 each. Am wondering if theres more to know regarding the dough sitting/rising time?

[dkmfwtx]

@DelvinDelight It can either sit on the counter for 3-5 hours or even better in the fridge overnight. It cust needs to come up to room temp before you make the pizza.

[artmarkdeans]

nice soundtrack... who is it?

[thecelticwalls]

i have hungry... :(

[gts5001]

Double the cheese and I'd be ine happy camper

[igotashield]

mmmmmm fatening

[samrhaley]

I'm a professional vidiographer and editor, I just wanted to tell your son great job filming! Look into Final Cut Pro if you're really interested in editing.

Trying your recipe tomorrow night! Looks fantastic!

[cyberyanmar]

could you tell me the dough ingredients but on cups?

[dkmfwtx]

@cyberyanmar all people messure differently but this will get you close:

3 1/4 cups flour

1 cup plus two tbsp water

1/2 cup corn oil

2 tsp ADY

1 tsp Salt (optional)

[S0lidSnake001]

I used your recipe and it came out delicious! After using the machine in mizing the dough and letting it rise, the dough was very sticky. I used extra flower and plenty of olive oil. The crust came out perfectly. Thank you!

[dkmfwtx]

@S0lidSnake001 Glad to hear it worked for you. Next time try reducing the water to 8 oz.

[dman0624]

@dkmfwtx Will using less water, make the dough less "sticky". Also, any other toppings recommendations, that might be healthier, but still amazing taste! I'm making one this week! Looks tasty!

[dkmfwtx]

@dman0624 You could use a Turkey sausage, but I would cook it first. also fresh, crisp veggies would work.

[Borbuster]

You should use a brush to spread the oil around the tin.

[Shintroy]

What happens if you put the stack it in the wrong order?

Dough then Meat > cheese > sauce?

[dkmfwtx]

@Shintroy Try it and let me know

[toychaser2005]

WOW THIS LOOKS GOOD 

[big1cory]

does the sauce taste like pizza sauce like(pizza hut) or does it taste like spaghetti sauce?

[dkmfwtx]

@big1cory Well its not like any store bought sauce. 6-in-1 brand is the key.

[earias777]

you should cook the ground beef before placing on pizza

[dkmfwtx]

@earias777 It’s Italian sausage and it fully cooks in the oven.

[CheeseSandFtw]

i got nuthing to say this is utterly amazing xD

[narutosakura144]

dood for the sauce is made buy crushed tomato's, Tomato paste, and the rest prego tomato sauce

on another note great looking pizza

[gabluesdude]

What does 6 in 1 tomatoes mean? I get the crushed part. Are they whole peeled in a can?

[dkmfwtx]

@gabluesdude 6-in1 are a brand by Escalon go to there website to learn more

[Koeningsplein15]

Nice and very informative video. I learned pizza making as part of an endeavor to satisfy my tummy after learning my wife could not cook. Hope to try your recipe soon as I miss Lou Malnati's from my previous life in Chicago. Previously only used pizza kit pizza screens..but only the thin screens work. Thx

[MrJohnny2times]

Awesome job! Looks like you did some time at Pizzeria Uno's or Lou Malnati's. That's cool man. Keep the real way of doing things alive! I never let my kids forget how things are done the right way. Frozen dough and conveyor belt ovens? Get outta here with that.

[ranjansportdrive]

good job ur pizza luks great nd a good video clipping taken

[afromanex]

Ya have a smart kid.. Looks awesome too. I can't wait to try it out!

[emoneyblue]

You both did a Great job ... My 11 year old son is my camera man too>>>

[Karin213fullyloaded]

[snackmachines]

[iraqipizzaeater]

Your pizza looks great

How big is that pan ?

[dkmfwtx]

@iraqipizzaeater it 15" by 2" deep

[slowthehaledown]

Where did you get the pan?

[dkmfwtx]

@slowthehaledown I got it from a Pizza Inn that went out of business.
