Chicago Style Pizza Crust

Here's the recipe for my homemade Chicago Style pizza crust - one of M's favourite meals! I'll post the recipe for the pizza, too. Enjoy!



Chicago Style Pizza Crust
  • 3 cups flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup WARM water
1. In bowl of KA mixer, or other large bowl, add all dry ingredients in and stir. Then pour in water and oil and stir/knead for 2 minutes, until everything comes together (add more water if too dry). Your dough will be similar to pie crust, not traditional pizza/bread dough.
2. Let dough rise in a warm place (I use microwave proofer) for 1 hour or in fridge overnight.
3. After rising, roll dough out in circle, fold twice, then roll out again. Place in cast iron skillet and add ingredients/cook as per pizza recipe (see my recipe or try your own!). ENJOY
