About deep dish pizza
King Arthur’s Chicago-style deep-dish pizza forms a tall crust around cheese, sausage and sauce. This version selects the publisher’s complete all-purpose-flour option rather than its flour-blend variation.
Butter and olive oil enrich the dough, while a little yellow cornmeal adds the crunch described by the test kitchen. Mozzarella, sweet Italian sausage, pizza sauce and Parmesan supply the filling and finish.
Cheese sits below the sausage and sauce inside the high-sided crust. Parmesan finishes the baked pizza, and a short rest lets the layers set before the substantial pie is sliced.
