Instructions

Get the Dough Rising

• Wake up the yeast: Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in your mixer bowl (think bathwater temperature, not boiling!). Let it get bubbly for about 5 minutes.
• Mix and Knead: Add flour, salt, sugar, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead by hand for a few minutes on a floured surface until it’s soft and stretchy.
• Let it Rise: Place the dough in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled in size. Imagine it getting all puffy for the pizza party!

Make the Sauce (While Dough Rises):

• Simmer the Sauce: Heat olive oil, then cook minced garlic for 1 minute.
• Italian Herbs: Stir in crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Let it simmer for 10 minutes, then cool slightly.

Preheat Oven to 450°F (230°C) and grease your baking pan.

Assemble and Bake:

• Shape the Dough: Press the dough into a square baking pan (use a rolling pin or your hands).
• Pre-Bake the Dough: After an hour, poke the dough with a fork and bake for 5 minutes.
• Top It Up! Spread sauce, then add shredded cheese, pepperoni, onion, tomato slices, and any other toppings you love
• Bake for 8-10 Minutes: Until the crust is golden brown and cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Enjoy! Let cool slightly, slice, and devour your delicious homemade deep dish pizza!

Tips And Tricks For Jet’s Pizza

• Dough Talk: Aim for a dough that’s soft and a little sticky, but not a total mess. If it feels too wet, add a spoonful of flour at a time until it’s manageable. Remember, too much flour can make the crust tough, so go slow!
• Brick Cheese Love: Brick cheese is the Detroit-style star, adding a sharper flavor and caramelizing beautifully on the crust. But don’t worry, mozzarella works just fine as a substitute!
• Pre-Bake Power: Pre-baking the dough is key for that crispy crust we all crave. Don’t skip this step!
• Cool It Down: Hot sauce can make your dough soggy, so let the sauce cool slightly before spreading it on.
• Top It Your Way! This recipe is your playground! Add your favorite toppings and unleash your inner pizzaiolo (pizza maker).
• Golden & Bubbly Bliss: Ovens can vary, so keep an eye on your pizza. The perfect deep dish is golden brown on the crust with melted, bubbly cheese.
• Patience is a Virtue: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing. This lets the cheese set and avoids those messy, floppy slices.
• Leftover Love: Leftovers are a gift! Store your pizza in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat it in the oven at 375°F (190°C) until it’s warm and delicious again.
