Chicago Style Deep Dish Pizza

This is a recipe for the classic Chicago-style deep dish pizza with a thick, buttery crust, chunky tomato sauce, and lots of cheese.

Ingredients - Serves 8

In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes, or until the yeast is foamy.
Add the melted butter, flour, and salt to the yeast mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F. Grease a deep dish pizza pan with the olive oil.
Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pan.
Spread the crushed tomatoes over the dough, then sprinkle with the oregano.
Top with the mozzarella cheese, then sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and browned.
Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
