🍕 Ultimate Deep-Dish Pizza 🍕 Why settle for ordinary pizza when you can go BIG with a delicious deep-dish pizza? This cheesy, saucy delight is sure to impress everyone at your table! Ingredients: For the dough: 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour 🌾 1 tsp active dry yeast 🍞 1 tsp salt 🧂 1 tsp sugar 🍬 1 cup warm water 💧 2 tbsp olive oil 🧴 For the pizza: 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 🧀 1 cup cooked ground beef 🥩 1 cup pepperoni slices 🍕 1 jar pizza sauce 🍅 (about 2 cups) 1 tsp dried oregano 🌿 1 tsp garlic powder 🧄 Olive oil for greasing the pan 🧴 Instructions: Prepare the dough: In a bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly. Then add in the flour, salt, and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, then place in a greased bowl and cover with a cloth. Let it rise for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size. Prepare the filling: While the dough is rising, cook the ground beef in a pan over medium heat, seasoning it with garlic powder and oregano. Once browned, set it aside. Assemble the pizza: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a deep dish pizza pan with olive oil. Roll out the dough into a large circle and fit it into the pan, making sure to press it up the sides. Add a layer of cheese at the bottom, followed by a layer of cooked ground beef, then add some pepperoni and spoon over the pizza sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with a generous layer of mozzarella cheese. Bake the pizza: Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top. Serve: Let the pizza cool for 5 minutes before slicing into it. Top with extra herbs if desired, and enjoy your ultimate cheesy, meaty, deep-dish pizza! #deepdishpizza #pizzalovers #cheesygoodness #foodiedelight #pizzanight #ultimatepizza Enjoy this indulgent and cheesy masterpiece!
