Chicago-Style Deep Dish Pizza | Cookin' Somethin' w/ Matty Matheson

[@captainkrk88]

CAUTION and FOR THE CHANNEL. One of the measurements on the ingredients and then recipe in the information section are different. The water in ingredients calls for 2.5 cups and the recipe calls for 1 1/4 cups. Big difference when it comes to making dough. I figured it was the 2.5 since it also called for 7 cups of flower. Just throwing it out there. I made it over the last two days and it was great. THANKS!!!

I'm from Chicago, born and raised. I'm probably in the minority of Chicagoans who do love deep dish (and stuffed) pizza. I'm also a fan of The Bear. But this iteration of deep dish? Yes. I'll have a slice. You made me proud, Matty.

[@JoshHollis86]

Chicagoan here, I have to say that looks great. Even though we truly dont eat deep dish as much as the rest of the country thinks. When we have a hankering for it, it has to be good. Id gladly grab a slice....or two

[@paulwagner688]

True. Deep dish is for tourists. It's all about that tavern style

[@jgons]

It’s not even pizza. It’s a casserole. It’s fine but as far as deep dish goes I prefer Detroit style.

I frequently enjoy ny style pizza, thin crust pizza, even that French thing with the egg in the middle. BUT, in my mind its clear that chicago style / deep dish is the most delicious and fulfilling kind of pizza. The thick, reduced tomato sauce with some parm on it, melty cheese on the inside, almost crunchy crust, and meats with peppers. Perfect recipe.

[@MaximusBlaze710]

[@SpencerDavis2000]

Chicago guy here: Great job especially with the recipe it is very close to the proportions used by Pizzeria Uno, Gino's East and Lou Malnatis. One thing to note: don't use a springform pan. Use a "tin steel pan". You can get it from Chicago Metallic. It then needs to be seasoned until it turns black. Then you can get a pizza gripper and use a pointy spatula to lift it out of the pan or just be like the restaurants here and cut it in the pan and serve it in the pan. A spring form pan will give a different result I think. Nobody uses a springform pan in Chicago for deep dish. They all use a tin steel pan from Chicago Metallic and it is seasoned until it turns black 2nd, the oil is wrong: it is a mixture of 2 oils which is 5% to 20% extra virgin olive oil mixed with 95%to 80% corn oil respectively. Marconi or Pastorelli are good brands. Then if you want to copy Lou Malnatis just add melted butter on top of the dough before you add the cheese Gino's East lets it sit in the fridge for 3 days and so does Lou Malnatis. This gives the pizza a heavy wine or beer flavor. If you don't have 3 days then let it sit outside of the fridge at room temp for 24 hours which gives the same effect of sitting in the fridge for 3 days. Last if you do all of this the only other thing missing is cooking it in an actual pizza oven which is night and day. you will notice a lot more caramelization with the cheese since you are modeling Pequod's Pizza technique with the cheese Also, for making most deep dish pizza's don't introduce flour at the end and roll it out on the table. Just take the oiled up dough ball and press it into the pan and shape it by hand. you are making it less flaky by adding flour at the end and rolling it. Don't undo all of that work by adding flour and rolling it. That is what you do with Neopolitan or New York or regular pizza dough. Chicago deep dish pizza dough like you said is different. The dough balls stay oiled up and oil the pan then put the oiled dough ball in the pan and press it to the shape you want by hand. super awesome job for your first time!

[@elbruces]

Springform pan is fine.

Matty I’m from Chicago u did it justice!

[@theleeunit1189]

Closer to a Burt Katz, Pequod's deep dish then the traditional Chicago deep dish you'ld get from Lou Malnati's, Pizzeria Uno, or Giordano's. I highly recommend Burt's Place in Morton Grove IL. Their Italian sausage, with red yellow and green bell peppers is to die for. Sadly Mr. Katz passed on in 2016. I think he would approve of Matty's take on his signature caramelized cheese crust deep dish.

[@conorgraves]

My favorite part about Chicago pizza is nobody can agree on what it is and how to make it but they do their best- or -just put a sign up in the window claiming they know how to do it and its the best! Yeah, but its hit or miss no matter what. You guys rock though keep experimenting, great things have come out of the process so far and more great things are to come.

[@TNTspaz]

This is definitely the way to do it. See a lot of content online that makes people misunderstand what deep dish is. Needs structural integrity. Crunchy, cheese doesn't glob out, and the sauce is cooked to perfection. I've always said the sauce is what really makes Deep Dish stand out. If you aren't getting a good amount of sauce in every bite. It's just cheese bread at that point.

[@WRXPATRICK1]

Chicagoan approved! Too many toppings always result in the pizza being soupy. I keep our deep dish simple, either pepperoni or sausage patty.

[@thaddeusk]

I noticed that from the Lou Malnati pizzas that I get shipped over from Chicago. The sausage or pepperoni ones are fine, but the vegetable pizza always seems a bit too wet, so I dab it a bit with paper towels toward the end or there ends up being too much moisture and it makes the crust a little soggy.

[@ChiefMoonChunks]

@frumess5032 I've never had a genuine Chicago style. When you say sausage patty... is it a bunch of patty slices like you'd see with diner breakfast sausage, or one giant patty that covers the whole pie?

[@MartinHarte]

Have you made one? If so, how long do you wait till you cut it?

[@trinketbuisness2983]

Cant wait to try this tomorrow! Got the dough in the fridge for about 12 hours now, looking beautiful. However there appears to be a discrepancy... y'all say 2 cups oil in the video but list only 1 cup in the description. Based on consistency while mixing and checking a couple other recipes, i believe 1 cup to 7 flour is the ratio.

[@Lindserr1989]

What did you end up doing? We went off the video, 2 cups of oil was a no go. New Year’s Day pizza dough was weird, like a biscuit ☹️

[@trinketbuisness2983]

@@Lindserr1989 Sorry to hear that. The single cup worked great. Nice and airy, pretty accurate to chicago style, tho will try the babish dough next time. Yeah not sure how that got mistranslated. The one that was the final product looked just like mine, probably made by an intern the day before with only the single cup of oil.

Imma make this, totally. I never knew flour was such a great container for massive quantities of oil. If I don't have a springform pan, can I make it in my angel food cake pan? That's what I'll do. Plus I'm going to cut it into circles and add some micro basil. Yum!

[@spiraljumper74]

Pretty much any kind of baking dish works as long as it conducts heat well and allows that bottom to fry and the sides to caramelize. But also springform pans are super useful for lots of things.

[@thaddeusk]

I've seen people do it with a cast iron pan, too. just oil it and put some corn meal down to keep it from sticking, or something?

He’s definitely doing more of a Pequods type deep dish with the way the cheese creates some of the crust. But I don’t know of anyone in Chicago precooking the sausage. It’s usually either a solid patty or torn pieces that get pushed down forming a mostly solid layer. I’d still give Matty a 7/10 on this.

Good enough Matty! I usually bake mine in a dirty Breville Smart oven! ;) I slightly pre-bake my dough about five to ten minutes because I hate waiting 40 min! :p I do love just buying a can of tomatoes sauce (Red Gold) then adding Italian seasoning with a little garlic and cayenne pepper. If you want a great Cheese Pull make sure to buy whole milk cheeses not part skim for the stretchy pull! 12' LloydPans Chicago Style Deep Dish works great or Chicago Metallic. Yeah letting the Yeast sit does help with the fermentation! Also using the dough on the second or third day helps with flavor! ;) I also don't use my Kitchen Aide mixer I use a Joydeem Electric Dough Maker with Ferment Function.
