Pizzeria Uno's Chgo Style Pizza

List of Ingredients




1 package rapid-rise active yeast (1/4 oz.)
1 cup warm water, between 105-115 degrees
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon sugar
2-1/2 cups flour
½ cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup olive oil
1 pound shredded mozzarella cheese
1 pound cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
1 can (28 oz.) diced tomatoes, well drained
1 teaspoon dried sweet basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese


Recipe




In the mixing bowl add the warm water, yeast and sugar, stir with a whisk. Add 2 cups of the flour, salt, cornmeal and olive oil. Use the paddle and mix on speed 2 for 2 minutes. Put on the dough hook and add the remaining flour. Knead on speed 2 until the dough clings to the hook, then knead on speed 2 for 5 minutes longer. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover. Let rise for 1 hour. With oiled fingers press the dough into a deep-dish pizza pan. Cover the dough with the mozzarella, then top with the sausage. Place the tomatoes over the sausage. Top with the basil, oregano and Parmesan cheese. Bake in a 500 degree oven for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to 350 degrees and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust is brown.

Note:
As a former NYer, I much prefer thin crusted, greasy street pizza....but I felt obligated to my Chicago friends to include this recipe....for their sake.
