The Chicago-style deep-dish pizza is a popular variation of the classic Italian pizza. It originated in the early 1900s when Italian immigrants in Chicago wanted to create a pizza that they could call their own. The deep-dish pizza is unique due to its thick crust, and the toppings are placed in a reversed order compared to the traditional pizza. There are endless variations of deep-dish pizza, but this recipe is for a classic meaty version that can satisfy anyone who loves a hearty meal.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 425°F.
2.In a mixing bowl, combine warm water or milk, yeast, and sugar. Let it rest for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
3.Add flour, parmesan cheese, salt, and olive oil to the bowl. Mix until it forms a smooth dough.
4.Place the dough into a greased 9-inch baking pan with 2-inch tall sides. Push the dough upwards to create a crust.
5.In a skillet, heat olive oil and brown the ground beef. Add onions, garlic, and chili powder. Cook until the onions become translucent.
6.Layer pizza sauce, mushroom, pepperoni, ground beef mixture, mozzarella cheese, and olives on top of the crust.
7.Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the crust becomes golden brown.
