Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    = Chicago Pizza Dough =
    Add dry yeast to lukewarm water (about 104°F) and stir well. Let it sit for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Mix bread flour, salt, and the yeast mixture. Using a food processor is convenient.

  3. 3

    Place the dough on a floured surface, knead it into a ball, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour for the first rise. You can also use a bread machine for the first rise.

  4. 4

    = Pizza Sauce =
    Blend all the ingredients marked with ● in a mixer. You can also use your favorite sauce.

  5. 5

    Place the dough on a floured surface, press it to release gas, reshape it into a ball, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rest for about 15 minutes.

  6. 6

    Lightly sprinkle breadcrumbs over the entire bottom of a heatproof dish. This helps the dough release from the dish and adds a crispy texture.

  7. 7

    Reshape the dough and place it in the breadcrumb-lined heatproof dish. Flatten the bottom thinly and shape the sides into a rim for the second rise (about 30 minutes).

  8. 8

    Once the dough has risen and fermentation is complete, spread the pizza sauce...

  9. 9

    Add your favorite toppings, season with salt, pepper, herbs, etc...

  10. 10

    Bake in a 375°F oven for about 20 minutes. Once baked, remove from the dish.

  11. 11

    It's puffed up nicely!
