Whole Wheat Deep Dish Pizza Pie

Deep Dish Pizza is certainly an unconventional way to celebrate Pi Day, but it is technically a pie, so I'm counting it. As a New Yorker with Italian heritage, deep dish is probably the last thing that comes to mind when I think of pizza; but it may just be my new favorite. Using a 9" cake pan and some leftover pizza dough, I'm making a simple deep dish pizza with mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce. I'm keeping it simple today, but you can also top with any meat or roasted veggies you like

Step 1

See my Home Oven Baked Pizza for instructions on how to make and prepare the pizza dough

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 350F, and take out a 9" cake pan

Step 3

Stretch your pizza dough as thin and round as possible, and place into the pan. Line the bottom, and pull the dough up the sides of the walls of the pan. Lightly wet your fingers to get the dough to cling to the walls of the pan

Step 4

Add your shredded cheese on top of the dough

Step 5

In a medium bowl, mix together the sauce ingredients - tomatoes, balsamic, basil, garlic, onion, salt, and red pepper flakes. Add on top of the mozzarella cheese

Step 6

Top the pizza with grated cheese, oregano, and any other toppings you like

Step 7

Bake at 35F for 20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned. Let rest in the pan for 5 minutes before cutting into 4 slices
