Deep Dish Pizza

Kitchen Tested Deep Dish Pizza

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 batch pizza dough (store bought or homemade)
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella
  • 12 cups cooked vegetarian meat crumbles or meatballs (follow package directions)
  • 1 cup variety of sautéed vegetables; mushrooms, peppers, caramelized onions
  • 1 1/2 cups marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup parmesan
  • 1 tsp dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 9 inch springform pan with cooking spray.
  2. Roll out and stretch dough into a large circle and place inside the springform pan. Press the dough around the bottom and sides of the pan and leave a little hanging over the edges. It doesn’t need to be perfect.
  3. Sprinkle the cheese on the bottom. Then add the cooked meat crumbles or meatballs. Top with sautéed vegetables and top it all off with the marinara sauce. Sprinkle with parmesan and oregano. Fold the edges of the dough inward to create a round top to the crust.
  4. Place the springform pan on a baking sheet (in case anything leaks out) and bake for 35-40 minutes. Let the pizza rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
