Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Authentic Chicago Deep-Dish Pizza Dough.
Step 1
Begin by combining active dry yeast and sugar in a bowl with warm water, allowing the mixture to rest for 5 to 10 minutes until it transforms into a creamy foam.
Step 2
In a large stand mixer equipped with a dough hook, blend the yeast mixture with all-purpose flour, corn oil, and kosher salt.
Step 3
Knead the dough for approximately 2 minutes until it comes together, remaining slightly sticky to the touch.
Step 4
Next, shape the dough into a ball and place it in a buttered bowl, turning it to ensure it’s well-coated.
Step 5
Cover the bowl with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take around 6 hours.
Step 6
Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and allow it to rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 7
Finally, press the dough into a 10-inch deep-dish pizza pan, ready to be topped with your favorite ingredients for a delicious homemade pizza experience.

Enjoy the process and savor the delightful aroma that fills your kitchen!.
