How To Cook Chicago-style pizza

Introduction to Chicago-style pizza

If you're looking for a truly unique pizza experience, you need to try Chicago-style pizza. This deep-dish style of pizza is unlike any other, and it's sure to satisfy your appetite.

To make a Chicago-style pizza, you'll need a few key ingredients. First, you'll need a deep-dish pizza pan. These pans are typically about 2 inches deep, and they help to create the signature thick crust that Chicago-style pizzas are known for. Next, you'll need a quality tomato sauce. Look for a sauce that is thick and flavorful, as this will be the base of your pizza. Finally, you'll need plenty of cheese and toppings of your choice.

When it comes to assembly, there are two schools of thought on how to build a Chicago-style pizza. Some people prefer to start with the sauce, while others start with the cheese. Regardless of which method you choose, be sure to evenly distribute the ingredients so that every bite is packed with flavor.

Once your pizza is assembled, it's time to bake! Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and place your pan on the lower rack. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and bubbly. Let your pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving - trust us, it'll be worth the wait!
