not as such, but I did catch this a bunch of months ago on TV- haven't tried making a pizza this way yet myself

around 6:30, she starts working the butter into the dough- which should make for a butter crust. Don't know how LM does it.

Almost like a pastry method. A little too ambitious for me, although I do make my own pizza. There's nothing down here in SW FL unless I drive a half hour to Aurelio's - and they're not a stuffed/deep dish type of place. Best pizza within 30 minutes is Dominos, which is a lot better than they used to be.

Go to pizzamaking.com. Great series of Lou's recipes there. Living in Seattle, I make a couple for every game.

Nice upload. I've done homemade deep dish a bunch of times and always went heavy on the flour. Nice to see I don't have to do as much with what she did. I definitely need to invest in one of those stand mixers.

This was my first attempt at it a couple years ago. Too much on the toppings.

looks like the crust turned out right though.

When I went to Chicago, Lou's was the only pizza I had twice.

it's pretty good, there's a place called Nancy's Pizza in Norridge I like a lot too

You know, I cook for a living and never thought to try and make my own pizza at home. I'm gonna go all out the next time I'm off. Make my own sausage too.

If you want the Chicago sausage taste you need to add fennel for sure. I've never done sausage other than tweaking the butcher's mild italian. I'm wondering on results when trying to do this or gino's style crust. Is it possible to achieve that with a standard oven? I'm not a fan of soggy, doughy crust. Maybe I'll par bake it next time.

It wasn't bad, but I've done better since.

I got the sausage down. Used to be a butcher too. A basic 5 # recipe for some mild italian: 5# ground pork, 1 oz. salt, 1 Tablespoon Black pepper, 1/2 oz. fennel seed, and 1/8 teaspoon each of ground fennel and granulated garlic. Throw in maybe 1 cup of water when mixing. Mix until sausage is sticky.

from what I'm reading on that pizzamaking.com they bake them at 450 or so. Can't imagine it being to soggy at those temps.

Hey, I was doing a recipe the other day that called for sweet sausage. Where the **** do I find that? Other than breakfast sausage I couldn't find anything labeled 'sweet.'

This is true. I remember we had talked about this over at CBMB. Gino's East is pizza toppings on top of cornbread, Giordanos is a a bread bowl full of gross sauce. Only Malnati's has the perfect balance of crust, sausage wheel, cheese and tomatoes. all those other deep dish pies are made by a bunch of jabronies.

U need *aged cast iron pans to make authentic LM...that's why it's so tough to replicate.

I like Aurelio's. Prefer thin crust. Choose steak sandwiches over Italian beefs. Polish sausage is not good. I have, and will continue to put ketchup on a hotdog if I so choose to.

You mad? Come at me bro.
