[net.cooks] Request for Chicago pan pizza

kathy@hpbms1.UUCP (kathy) (09/26/84)

Dear Deep Dish Pizza Lovers,

Having moved thousands of miles from Chicago, we are now searching for deep
dish pizza recipes and tips.  Have pan, will cook.  We have experimented a
couple times with making a deep dish pizza, but always seem to end up with
too much liquid in the pan after baking.  Anybody know why?

Also, flour in Germany is slightly different than flour in the States--do
we need to use less liquid?  How much less? Or do we need more flour?  How
much more?  HELP!!!!!!!

In mouth-watering anticipation of some tips......

I like to make deep dish pizza also, and have had the same problem with
extra liquid.  I have always thought that it came from either: (1) the
sauce or (2) the mushrooms.

The November 1984 issue of Cuisine has an article about pizza, including a
recipe for Chicago Deep Disk Pizza.  They seem to solve the liquid problem
by adding flour to the mushrooms (after sauteeing) and to the sauce.  I
have not had a chance to try it out, since I am still working on finishing
a pizza I made a couple of weeks ago.
