SIMPLE DEEP DISH PIZZA



Simple Deep Dish Pizza image

Simple deep dish pizza without the butter and topped with tons of roasted veggies. Easy, healthy, and 45 minutes from start to finish.

Provided by Minimalist Baker

Categories     Entree

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 batch pizza dough recipe
3/4 - 1 cup pizza sauce
1 cup mixed veggies of choice ((such as cherry tomatoes, eggplant, onion, green pepper, mushroom))
Olive oil
1 clove garlic
1- 1 ½ cups mozzarella cheese
Italian seasonings ((dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper, etc. // optional))
Grated parmesan cheese ((optional))
Fresh basil ((optional))

Steps:

  • Prepare pizza dough (half batch only) and sauce if using homemade.
  • If roasting veggies, preheat oven to broil, toss veggies in olive oil on a baking sheet, and broil for 4-6 minutes on the top rack (low/medium broil), tossing once for even cooking. Or if using a parchment-lined baking sheet, roast veggies at 450 degrees F (232 C) as the broiling function is unsafe with parchment paper. Remove from oven and set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (232 C).
  • Next, coat a 10-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish with olive oil and run a garlic clove around for seasoning (NOTE: If using a 12-inch cast iron, the recipe should still work you'll just need to stretch the dough a bit more to fit the pan, and use slightly more toppings). Plop your dough down into the pan and push it up around the sides about 1 to 1.5 inches (see photo). Let rest for a few minutes while preparing the rest of your toppings.
  • First sprinkle in 1/2 of mozzarella cheese, then add veggies, then sauce. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese, Italian seasonings (dried basil, oregano, thyme, red pepper, etc.) and grated parmesan cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese and sauce are bubbly. Let rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting, then serve immediately. Store cooled leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Or in the freezer up to 1 month.

RIDICULOUSLY EASY CHICAGO-STYLE PIZZA PIE



Ridiculously Easy Chicago-Style Pizza Pie image

Chicago-style pizza is great, but it can be a pain to make and way too expensive to buy from a restaurant... so I came up with this easy-to-make recipe. The best Chicago pizzas usually feature cornbread crusts, but the pie crusts make a surprisingly tasty substitute! I use this recipe by Dan-Amer #1 for the sausage (http://www.food.com/recipe/homemade-bulk-italian-sausage-chicago-style-329000), but store-bought sausage should work just as well.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 1 pizza pie, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 (9 inch) frozen pie crusts, thawed
1 lb Italian sausage, sliced or crumbled
1 small onion, sliced
4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
1 (15 ounce) can pizza sauce
1/2 teaspoon italian seasoning (optional)
2 teaspoons parmesan cheese, grated (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • Bake the pie crust according to your package's directions. I usually prick the bottom and sides of the crust all over with a fork and bake it for 10 minutes, or until it becomes slightly golden. Remove, and set aside.
  • Brown the sausage for about 5 minutes in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion and mushrooms and cook for a further 5 minutes, or until the sausage is cooked and the onions are soft and translucent. Drain of any excess fat. (You can add salt & pepper at this point depending on how salty/spicy your sausage is- I usually don't).
  • Sprinkle the mozzarella and parmesan on the bottom of your pie crust. Top the cheese with the sausage mixture, and spread it out evenly. Next, spread the pizza sauce over the top, making sure the filling is completely covered. Finally, you can sprinkle the Italian seasoning and grated cheese on top, if you wish.
  • Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
