Steps:
- Dissolve the yeast with warm water and sugar in a mixing bowl.
- Add the corn oil and blend.
- Add flour and salt and mix thoroughly until the dough is smooth and pliable. If using a stand mixer for 4 minutes at medium or by hand knead for 7 to 8 minutes.
- Turn the dough out and knead by hand an additional 2 minutes.
- Coat a bowl with olive oil, place the dough ball in the bowl turning once to cover it with oil. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel and let it rise for two hours.
- Do not punch the dough down. Spead it across the bottom and up the sides of a 12 inch deep dish pizza or cake pan. (I cover the bottom of my pan with olive oil first - a lot of olive oil).
- For the sauce: in a mixing bowl combine the tomatoes, oregano, basil and romano.
- Line the dough with mozzarella and provolone completely covering the dough and then put your sauce and toppings.
- Bake on the middle rack of a preheated 475 degree oven for 20 - 25 minutes - the crust should be golden brown. Allow the pizza to rest 3-4 minutes before cutting.
COPYCAT PIZZERIA UNO "CHICAGO DEEP DISH" PIZZA DOUGH
I've eaten a few times at Pizza Uno, it's one of the few chain places I like because they have a good veggie burger with actual veggie sides! (And their peanut butter cup dessert thing is to die for.) As a New Yorker I know what really good pizza is and have so many wonderful independent pizzerias right in my own backyard, hence it'd be sinful for me to get pizza from a chain ;) But I'm posting this from my "Awesome Restaurant Recipes" e-book to share with those who'd like to recreate the dough at home to have with the sauce and toppings of their choice; the only thing I changed in the original recipe is to use canola or sunflower oil instead of vegetable oil since that's what I keep around due to nutritive properties. And I'm always trying homemade pizza recipes of all kinds and varying the recipes with different flours, oils additions, etc. I think this would be good subbing half wheat flour and adding some nutritional yeast and spices. What I found interesting about this recipe is that you don't proof the yeast with any type of sugar, and cornmeal in the actual dough instead of just sprinkling on the bottom. Of course, I'm including both bread machine and old school instructions.

Steps:
- OLD SCHOOL METHOD: Mix the yeast and water together in a large mixing bowl with a fork until totally dissolved.
- Blend in 1 cup of flour, and all the cornmeal, salt, and oil. Mix well with a large spoon.
- Continue stirring in the rest of the flour in 1/2-cup increments until the dough stops sticking to the sides of the bowl.
- Put some flour on your hands and knead the dough until it is no longer sticky, about 5-10 minutes.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and put in a warm, dry, draft-free area for 45-60 minutes to rise until doubled.
- Punch it down and knead briefly. Go to Step #8. Didn't want to do all that just to have another rise later? Check out the bread machine instructions!
- BREAD MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS: Put all the ingredients into your bread machine according to your manfacturer's directions and do a 1.5-lb or 2-lb dough cycle, kick back and let it do its work.
- Press the dough into an oiled 15-inch deep dish pan. Let it rise for another 20 minutes before pre-baking.
- After the rise in the pan is finished, bake at 450F for 10 minutes. Then add the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc, and whatever else you like and bake at 400F according to how much you put on (ie, meat toppings require longer.) I like cheese and veggie toppings which only take about 15-20 minutes, then turn on the broiler for 5 minutes to get a nice crispy edge and cheesy crunch.
- Don't have a deep-dish pan? Can probably split this up among casserole dishes and large pie pans.
DEEP DISH PIZZA CHICAGO-STYLE UNO'S RECIPE
Famous UNO'S restaurant in Chicago published Aldean Stoudamire's pizza recipe back in 1987. This is as close as you can get to a "real" Chicago style stuffed pizza! I made a cardinal sin with the pictures....I used sauce instead of canned tomatoes. A BIG no-no, but I really craved making one! To be a true pizza, use the canned...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 500 degrees. You will need a deep dish at least 2 inches deep. You can also use a heavy 10x2 inch round cake pan or a 10 inch spring form pan. Which ever pan you use, brush olive oil generously around the whole pan.
- 2. In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast into warm water. Stir until dissolved. Stir in 1 1/2 cups of the flour, the 1/3 cup cooking oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Beat at low speed 30 seconds,scraping bowl often. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can.
- 3. Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place till doubled. Beat down. Let rest for 5 minutes.
- 4. Turn dough into pan. Using oiled hands, spread dough evenly over bottom and partially up sides of pan. Cover, let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes.
- 5. Arrange cheese slices in 1/4 inch thick layer on dough. Gently press sausage on cheese. Using hands, gently crush tomatoes into small pieces atop sausage. Sprinkle with herbs and Parmesan.
- 6. Bake in a 500 degree oven for about 25 minutes to 30 minutes or until edges of the crust are crisp and golden brown. If desired, add mushrooms and green pepper during the last few minutes of baking.
- 7. Let the pizza stand for 5-10 minutes before cutting. (this is the hardest part!) :)
- 8. ANOTHER CHEAT NOTE: If you dont have the time to make this crust, I did come up with an alternative using the bread machine. If you want to use the bread machine: 2 3/4 Cups AP flour 1/3 Cup olive oil 1 Cup hot water (110-115 degrees) 2 teaspoons yeast Add the ingredients to the bread machine and put it on dough setting. Then put in the prepared pan and let rise again. Then follow the rest of the above instructions.
- 9. This is a serious recipe. It is well worth the effort as it is as close to the real thing as you can get at home. As I have said, I used a sauce in the pictures.... this is a no-no! Use the tomatoes and you will be in heaven!
Tips:
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the pizza from sticking.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet. Leave enough space between the pieces of dough so that they can rise and cook evenly.
- Use a generous amount of cheese. This is what gives Chicago deep-dish pizza its signature gooeyness.
- Bake the pizza at a high temperature. This will help create a crispy crust and prevent the cheese from becoming too runny.
- Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese set and make the pizza easier to cut.
Conclusion:
Uno Chicago Grill deep-dish pizza is a delicious and iconic dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its crispy crust, gooey cheese, and flavorful toppings, it's no wonder that this pizza has become so popular. Whether you're a fan of deep-dish pizza or you're just looking for something new to try, this recipe is sure to please.
