Steps:
- Mix sugar, yeast and 11 ounces room temperature water (about 80 degrees) in a bowl and let bloom for 15 minutes. Combine flour, salt and cream of tartar in the bowl of a stand mixer. Once yeast has bloomed, add to dry ingredients along with corn oil. Gently combine with a rubber spatula until a rough ball is formed.
- Knead on low speed with the dough hook for 90 seconds. Transfer to a lightly oiled bowl and proof until doubled in size, about 6 hours. Punch down and let dough settle for 15 more minutes.
- Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F.
- Coat bottom and sides of a 12-inch cake pan or traditional Chicago style pizza pan with melted butter. Using your hands, spread out about three-quarters of the dough across the bottom and up the sides of the pan (save the remainder for another use). Cover entire bottom in mozzarella, all the way up to the edge. Cover half with a thin, even layer of raw sausage. Cover the other half with the pepperoni. Top with a couple handfuls of crushed tomatoes. Spread out with hands to the edge. Sprinkle top evenly with grated Parm.
- Bake, rotating halfway through, until golden around the edge, about 25 minutes. Let rest for about 5 minutes, then either gently lift pizza out of pan or just cut your slice out of the pan like a pie!
THE REAL CHICAGO DEEP DISH PIZZA DOUGH
I have it on good authority that this is the real deep dish pizza dough that's used in Chicago. The real thing is nothing like bread, or even pizza, dough. It is a buttery, flaky crust that is achieved by: 1) using corn oil (not butter) and 2) minimal mixing and kneading times. The pizza itself is built with cheese, toppings, and sauce, in that order. I suggest you use 6-in-1® tomatoes which are far superior to other brands. Classico® ground tomatoes are very similar. Contrary to popular opinion, cornmeal is not used in the dough by Chicago pizzerias.

Tips:
- For the perfect deep-dish pizza crust, use a combination of bread flour and all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which will give your crust a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
- Don't overwork the dough. Mix it until it just comes together, then let it rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Use a generous amount of butter or oil in your pan. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. Leave some space between the toppings so that they can cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza in a hot oven. This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the toppings from becoming soggy.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the toppings from sliding off.
Conclusion:
Deep-dish pizza is a delicious and hearty meal that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavorful toppings, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at your table. So next time you're craving pizza, give this deep-dish recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
