Chicago-style double-crust pizza: Loaded with cheese, sausage, and veggies for a delicious twist.
Ingredients:
  • 1.5 teaspoons white sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (100 degrees F/40 degrees C)
  • 1.5 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 (8 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
  • 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 0.5 pound bulk Italian sausage
  • 1 (4 ounce) package sliced pepperoni
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 0.5 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 0.5 red bell pepper, chopped
Instructions:
  • In a large bowl or stand mixer bowl, mix white sugar and warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the mix and let it sit for 5 minutes until it turns creamy. Stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Incorporate 1/2 teaspoon of salt into the flour. Add half of the flour mixture to the yeast water, stirring until no dry spots are left. Gradually mix in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, making sure to mix thoroughly after each addition. Once the dough forms into a cohesive ball, transfer it to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, you can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for this step.
  • Oil a large bowl and gently place the dough inside, making sure to coat it with the oil. Cover with a light cloth and allow it to rise in a warm place until it doubles in volume, approximately 1 hour.
  • In a small saucepan, mix crushed tomatoes, brown sugar, garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of olive oil, and salt. Cover and simmer over low heat until the tomatoes begin to break down, approximately 30 minutes.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Deflate the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough in half. Roll out one half into a 12-inch thin circle, and the other half into a 9-inch thick circle.
  • Gently lay the 12-inch dough round in the ungreased 9-inch springform pan. Sprinkle 1 cup of cheese over the dough. Form sausage into a 9-inch patty and position it on top of the cheese. Layer pepperoni, mushrooms, green and red pepper, and the rest of the cheese on top of the sausage. Cover with another 9-inch dough round and seal the edges by pinching them together. Create a few 1/2-inch vent holes on the top crust. Evenly spread sauce on the top crust, making sure to leave a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
  • Bake your pizza in the oven for 40-45 minutes until the crust is golden, cheese is bubbly, and sausage is fully cooked. Rest for 15 minutes before slicing and enjoying the deliciousness.
