(Incredible) Deep Dish Pizza




Ya know when you find a great recipe and you find yourself wanting to make it again within the week?


This Deep Dish Pizza is that recipe.




I do not know where I got the recipe and it is one of those that was not specific about amounts for the ingredients. You know, a throw a little of this in, then a little of that, kind of recipe.


I'm not going to do that to you. I figured out how much I used of each ingredient to make this the most delectable pizza.


My first try came out flat. I realized I just had to add more layers! You can add any other ingredients you'd like but I encourage you to try it the first time with just the ones listed here. So good!


This luscious looking pie.......




started out like this....



With the top crust on ready to bake.

I used frozen pizza dough from Wegmans grocery store because it is the best!



Here is the recipe:




Deep Dish Pizza

Preheat the oven to 500 degrees

1 pound pizza dough (homemade or from the grocery), halved
6 oz. of ricotta cheese
1/4 pound sliced pepperoni
8 oz. bag spinach
8 oz. mozzarella, shredded
Sliced provolone cheese (optional)
1 cup pizza sauce
Parmesan cheese

Roll the two pieces of dough until they are fairly thin.  
Place one piece inside a 9" or 10" pie pan,
like you would line a pie crust.
Spread ricotta cheese on the bottom.
Layer with pepperoni, spinach and shredded mozzarella. I added
sliced provolone to mine.
Keep layering until the ingredients are piled high. It will flatten out
somewhat during baking.
Top the pie with the other piece of dough.
Crimp the edges all the way around.
Press down the center of the pie to make a pool for the sauce.
Make slits on the top and then pour the sauce in the center.
Spread it to the edges.
Top with  grated parmesan cheese.

Bake at 500 degrees for 30 minutes.
Let sit for at least 15 minutes before cutting.

You can vary the amounts of the ingredients to your liking. At 500 degrees it will cook quickly so keep an eye on it!


Will this be your next pizza on pizza night?
