The one thing different I learned from Chicago pizza makers is if you really want to up your crust game, use butter to lube the pan and then dust the pan with parmesan cheese the way you would dust a cake pan with flour. The cheese will caramelize to the crust giving it a crispy, nutty, tangy, cheesy goodness.

[@wyattweiler7208]

Screenshoted. Will use. 10/10 quality comment.

[@kitchenbro5709]

Gonna try this.

[@davidedwards4720]

Butter in the pan is actually detrimental compared to olive oil. Butter when heated separates into water, milk solids, and butter fat. The water soaks into the crust which inhibits crisping since it essentially steams the crust.

[@bobbythunderballsthunderba9563]

Lube!

[@johncspine2787]

@@davidedwards4720 yes..but..butter milk proteins also give you Maillard reactions (browning flavor) that olive oil doesn’t..so, to each his own..you’d have to do three pies and do one with olive oil, one with butter, and one plain as a control..a pain, but, yum, great experiment!

I waited tables at Uno's as a teenager. After adding the cheese layer, they parbaked their crusts which not only added a crunchy layer (texture), but also kept the crust from getting too soggy. It was delicious. A parbake would be good here, too.

[@CaptPoco]

I think the term is "blind bake" when you're making a pie.

[@johncspine2787]

I went to Northwestern briefly when I was studying with a horn player in the Chicago Symphony..UNO’s was great, really brings back memories when I saw your post!

[@Mabus16]

@@CaptPoco "Blind bake" is only applicable if the pie filling does not require a second baking step, like with a custard-based filling that just needs to set up in the fridge. If the filling also needs time in the oven, it's a par bake.

[@Sporacle]

I don't do deep dish at home (yet) but I've parbaked what I call an "undersauce" into the dough for 15 years, it is the way

[@Viddough]

Good tip

[@rachaelhoffman-dachelet2763]

One of the things you do, and you do it much more explicitly than any other food KZbinr, is demonstrate order and multi tasking in your videos. I think that is such important teaching. I really think it makes fairly elevated recipes much more accessible. And you do it while maintaining a crisp watchable pace. Well done.

[@CorwinBos]

Well said. Watching Brians vids has even given my teenage daughter the confidence to tackle some harder meals that she wants to try!

[@timkellyD2R]

I am another native Chicagoan who really appreciates Brian's skills. I believe the traits you have described are attributable to Brian's professional experience. When I worked a foot beat I often stopped in at the back door of restaurant kitchens where they fed the cops. The tight choreography of a busy kitchen is a wonder to behold and most YT amateur food people would not survive without having been initiated into the oft-brutal on the job training of that environment which teaches organization and multi-tasking.

[@Exercise4CheatMeals]

Your deep dish was the first video I ever watched on your channel and also the first one I commented on. Absolutely insane it has been 2.5 years. Cheers to the next 2.5 years.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

Cheers bro! Hopefully this one does as well or better than the last.

[@TheCalebthompson633]

Yes! The very first one I watched!

[@Cartagena1]

Dude, I literally just re-watched the old recipe 2 nights ago to brush up because I'm hoping to make it this weekend, and then you put a new one out today lol

[@ejhowson]

Made the og recipe about a week before this video came out, and admittedly was my first time eating a deep dish. I thought it was really great. So, I was pumped to try the 2.0 today (let the dough go for 48hrs). Had about 4 taste testers today and one stated "this is one of the best pizzas I've ever had". Another great recipe from Brian in the books! Can't thank you enough for all the great recipes and how you format your vids, keep up the amazing work!

[@FreeBroccoli]

Advice for people who want to use cast iron: your pan will heat up very slowly compared to Brian's aluminum, so put the pan as low in the oven as you can so the top doesnt cook too fast. Dont skimp on the oil in the pan, either!

[@nicolemurray2673]

I made this last night and it's fantastic. And the sauce...OMG... delicious! Thanks Brian🎉

[@CB6028]

I’m a Chicago guy who loves deep dish so I will definitely try this once I buy the proper pan. Two weeks ago I had some meat lovers deep dish pizza from George’s on the northside of Chicago and it was very similar to what you’ve made here Bri. The only difference is he goes with us sourdough crust and put cornmeal in the pan before the dough. It was phenomenal.

[@nilabakery]

This dish looks absolutely stunning! The presentation is on point and it's clear you have a lot of skill in the kitchen 👌😋😍😍

[@jbraun73160]

I made version 1 about a week ago and agree, the flavors were spot on, the crust didn't get as crispy as I would have liked. Glad you made an update and can't wait to try it.

Might try subbing in some vodka/white wine for the water in the crust, Alcohol doesn’t form gluten, I use this trick in pastry and pie crusts..

[@mrgalaxy396]

Get a pizza baking sheet, not a stone but one of those metal sheet pans that are meant for pizza. Should do the trick in making some good thin crust pizza. Might not be 100% like the pizza mom & pop shops but it will be still some damn good pizza.

I made this version last night for dinner. I’d been a fan of version 1.0 so I’d made that several times in the past. My kids all commented on how the crust was lighter and they enjoyed the crust. I do miss the corn meal in the dough, but this version is really really wonderful. Thank you.

[@MR3DDev]

I've never been to Chicago but I have done your previous recipe at home and everyone loves it (even the anti chicago pizza ppl) one thing I modified was adding Poolish (prefermented yeast and flour) for that extra flavor. I am definitely gonna give this one a go this weekend.

[@frankinglima3889]

Lifetime Chicagoan here. Love your recipes, Bri. I use the exact same pan for my deep dish. Personally, I like to let those cheese slices ride up the side of the pan, effectively taking the place of the side crust and getting that caramelization, ala Pequod's. Also, toppings always last for me when building for optimal brownage. I always use your dough recipes and will try this new version soon!

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I love the cheese on side move! Pequods is dope

[@stusch1]

Sure is Bri

[@WhoDunnit346]

So do you not build the crust up the sides of the pan, and instead build the cheese slices up the sides? Gonna try this next weekend and checking comments for tips.

[@frankinglima3889]

@@WhoDunnit346 Exactly. Flat crust on the bottom is how I do it so as long as your cheese acts as that barrier and the sauce is sufficiently thickened, like he says. I also have some extra crust ride up the sides from time to time, no big deal - just get that cheese a little higher and it'll caramelize.

you got me into deepdish pizza following your first vid. I ended up making changes overtime similar to what you did here to get a crispy version. It is much better than the first version and that was already amazing.

[@PeterTea]

As a son of Chicago, I can say that it looks great! What about the use of some corn meal in the dough to give it some extra crunch? I know several pizzerias in Chicago do that, including Lou Malnatis.

Geez, the opening shots had me drooling. Definitely looked legit. I'm originally from Chicago, still nearby. I'm a @GinosEast guy but almost ALL pizza is good! I approve of your changes to the original. I mean, shredded mozz? Really? (But then there's the whole "it's all good" thing so you get a pass.) I'm not sure yet how you got the cross-section to be more accurate this time but, seriously: LEGIT!

[@hartzell7407]

I used to love Gino's (went to the location in Woodridge on 75th--no longer there), but at some point they changed their recipe. The sauce got sweeter and the crust seemed to lose its original flavor (did they have more corn meal?). I agree about using shredded mozz. Pre-shredded is full of cellulose--yuck.

[@JDoors]

@@hartzell7407 While Gino's is still my favorite, I now consider the other big names their equal. Don't know if Gino's lost some of its charm (I hadn't noticed) or if I just stopped being loyal. 😉

I actually liked the fact that the crust wasn't too crispy and I would miss the cornmeal in this version. I think I might try and make a crossover between these two :)

Interesting. I do doubt most places in Chicago are actually using real butter in their crust just from a cost perspective, albeit I'm sure it's delicious. I've always heard that corn oil was the secret fat to Chicago Deep Dish, since it has a very buttery flavor compared to other oils.

[@BrianLagerstrom]

I agree. But I tried without and didn’t have the mouthfeel.

Can't wait to try this! You might consider adding a couple of anchovy fillets to the butter and onion saute. BTW: we call the thickness test "the Parting of the Red Sea". Also, 1/8 to 1/4 cup of corn meal adds more texture to the crust. Corn meal can also dusted on top of the oil in the pan to make a sticky pan non-stick. Maybe turn half way through cooking.

I've been working on this for 20 years. Use KA AP (not 00) and lard, not butter if you want Giordano's. Use butter and a little semolina if you want Lou Malnati's. Combine the warm water by hand, don't knead. The less you knead and touch the dough the better. Roll it out, fold the thin sheet into a quarter (four layers to be flaky), save a tiny piece of dough for the top, then press that quartered dough into the pan, let it sit 20 minutes, add the cheese, then take the little piece of dough you saved and roll it out to where you can see through it, layer that over the top of the cheese, then add Cento crushed tomatoes (that you make into a sauce). Bake that in a seasoned pizza dish or cast iron skillet.
