COSTCO DEEP DISH PIZZA COOKING INSTRUCTIONS RECIPES

Steps:

• For the pizza sauce, melt the butter in a small saucepan and add the onion, salt, red pepper flakes, and oregano, and sauté until golden brown.
• Add the garlic, sugar, and crushed tomatoes, and simmer for roughly 20 minutes or until sauce thickens.
• For the dough, combine the active dry yeast, sugar, and warm water together and let sit for one minute.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, and salt.
• Add the yeast mixture and butter into the dry ingredients and stir until dough forms.
• Bring dough to floured surface and knead until dough forms into a ball.
• Move dough to large bowl drizzled with olive oil. Coat dough in oil and cover. Let rest for 1 hour.
• Remove dough and bring onto floured surface.
• Cut dough in half and begin working dough out, ensuring that it is at least 2 inches (5 cm) wider than your deep dish pan.
• Double wrap the remaining dough with plastic wrap and place in a resealable freezer bag. Freeze for up to a month.
• Preheat your oven to 425°F (215°C).
• Bring your dough into your oiled and floured deep dish pan.
• Using your hands press dough into sides of your dish making it as even as possible.
• Lay slices of mozzarella across the dough, covering the entire bottom.
• Add pieces of uncased italian sausage on top of the mozzarella and top with tomato sauce.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until crust starts to lightly brown and the cheese is melted.
• Garnish with parmesan, cut and serve.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Stretch dough into a circle or oval (depending on the shape of your 5- to 6-quart slow cooker), about 2 inches bigger all around than the slow cooker insert. Place on a sheet of parchment paper. Lower dough (still on parchment) into slow cooker. Gently tug and stretch dough up the sides of insert.
• Scatter mozzarella over surface of dough. Add any additional toppings, then top with sauce. Lift and stretch edges of crust so it reaches above filling.
• Cover top of slow cooker with a long piece of paper towel, then place lid over paper towel and pull towel tight.
• Cook pizza until crust is golden brown but still tender enough to cut, 2 to 3 hours on high or 4 to 5 hours on low. Use edges of parchment to lift pizza out of slow cooker. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Sprinkle with Parmesan and basil, if desired.
