Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza in the Ninja Foodi

[@erikapirogowicz9992]

I realized the other day you really actually respond to EVERYONE (wow) and even followup with comments thankyou so much for taking the time to do that! so many people your lucky if they even read it let alone comment back. So thankyou again!!! Makes me a happy subscriber and hard to click on other ninja recipes or people I can't cheat on you haha👌😘🙂

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I try! I don't respond to everyone though, some people are downright nasty with their comments. LOL I respond to nice people! I figure if you take the time to comment or ask a question, I can do the same in return. It's getting harder though, I'll be honest! But, I'm doing my best to keep up.

[@bethhammel4281]

I completely agree! She must have 48 hours in her day!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

beth hammel I just work a lot because I love it!

[@Carrick1]

Oh my goodness!! my mouth is watering just watching this!! So going to make this too!!! Well done Louise!!

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Hope you enjoy

[@kkaterina12]

Thank you. I have cancer and 5 lively kids but when I can I try to rest! It lives me less time for cooking. I bought ninja foody to help me and I appreciate your recipes!

[@Stebs_Paintings]

My wife got so excited when I showed her this, I will have to find a wire rack in the UK. I have just discovered I can print the instruction in metric from your website, you are a Star, thank you.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Thank you so much! I hope you find a rack!

[@christineloney8795]

I tried this tonight & it was fabulous, if I do say so myself. Didn't have the racks to do 2 at a time I cooked them separately (didnt take that long). Will definitely make again Christine

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

[@davebevdenbow9110]

When I was a newer bride and momma, there were times I got to stay home with my kids. I baked a lot then and with watching you make the pizza dough, it has made me realize how much I enjoyed that and how much I miss it. Unfortunately, the arthritis I have will no longer let me do it any longer, but I really wish I could. I don't think there's anything quite as satisfying as the feel of kneading the dough and feeling it come together. Thank you for bringing that memory back. I had forgotten it.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

DaveBev Denbow I couldn’t agree more, I love kneading dough and watch it transform in front of me. I’m sorry about your arthritis, I know how difficult it is and painful.

[@seasons0123]

I have a hard time doing that so I use my mixer for kneading any dough.

[@jamesnash6101]

Ms. Pepper, you could make a video of your garden and how to grow all of your plants/herbs. Then make a video of what herbs go with what foods.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I hope to get to that one day.

[@MsBlaiz]

Well, you've done it again! Just made the Chicago-Style Deep-Dish Pizza for my husband for Dad's day and he said, "Well, this is officially my new favorite pizza!" Your instructions are perfect and the pizzas turned out exactly like yours and were delicious! Wish I could send you a picture. And again, you have our thanks. I can't believe how much I love my Ninja Foodi and all the fantastic meals I can make with it. Thank you so much for all of your dedication and time you take in perfecting these dishes for us!

[@sylviah1234]

Really turned out nice, especially doing two works great for more yummy DDpizza. Instant yeast and bread machine yeast is the same thing. I make a lot of bread and pizza's and never proof yeast :)) I do keep my yeast in the freezer at all times. I have some that's years old and still works fantastic. Sure came in handy during this pandemic's shortage and none was to be found. If I'm making a very sweet dough 'with a lot of sugar, 10 to 30 % in it' I use the 'SAF-instant Gold yeast'...but I also use in sometimes in regular dough and it works fine. But really my yeast is always stored in the freezer. Take it right out of the freezer and right into the flour.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

I'm so glad to hear that! I also store my yeast in the freezer, works great!

[@redtankgirl5]

Looks great but I’m a NY style girl. Love the fact I can proof the dough on the dehydration mode. That makes things easier for me since sometimes my place isn’t as warm as I would like and I don’t always want to start the wood cook stove to warm the house. Was wondering how I could do that. You answered an important question for me today.

[@TheSaltedPepper]

Red Tankgirl I prefer thin crust too, but I was very happy with the crust on these pizzas! I love proofing with the dehydration function, glad I answered a question for you! 😁

Pizza looks good but the crust isn’t browned enough for my liking. I would liked to have seen the underneath crust. Maybe if you cooked one at a time it would result in a browner side and bottom crust. Thanks for sharing all your dishes with us!

I agree with that! They were delicious, but I tend to like a browner crust too. I think prebaking a little longer would have helped.

I love all your recipes, the passion you have with food, the way you teach, demonstrate and explain the why's and the what-ifs before even asked. I truly appreciate you and all your hard work in helping us all. I do have a question though. I am looking for that rack that you used in this show. I have the canning rack with the 2" legs that held your husband's pizza on the bottom while finishing cooking, but I am looking for the one with thw long handles/legs that have the orange/red silicone protectors on them. The one that you put your pizza on top of your husband's pizza. Could you please guide me, and I am sure there are others (at least I hope I am not the only one that didn't get the memo as to where to get it😊).

I am so sorry. I have NO idea what I was mis-remembering about the rack. I asked the question about the rack without watching the video again and like I said, I have no 😳 sorry folks.
