I recently looked at my website’s stats and came to find out that Chicago is my most popular city in the US. I have more Chicago readers than any other place in this country. That’s crazy awesome because I love Chicago. As a little tribute to my #1 city, I’m finishing one blow-out year with a Chicago inspired recipe.
INGREDIENTS
Crust:
1 c. water
1 pkg yeast
1/3 c. corn oil
1 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 lb Bread Flour
Pizza Sauce:
28 oz plum Roma tomatoes (or San Marzano (my favorite) tomatoes – less ¼ c of the sauce before you mush it)
1/2 tsp salt
a pinch of basil
a pinch of oregano
fresh ground black pepper
Toppings:
16 oz. mozzarella about 4 c. Low-moisture part-skim (NOT low fat. It won’t turn out good if you use low fat)
Pepperoni
Italian sausage uncooked pinched into little pieces.
