Final Pie of the Year: Chicago Stone-Baked Pizza Pie!
This one was my first pizza pie on '...The Pie Blog'. I called it a delicious mess, as I learned to make a deep dish Chicago style creation for this last blog of the year without having a proper pizza peel or proper deep dish. Nonetheless, the taste was a most fantastic outcome. It ended up looking a bit like a gi-normous stromboli.
The crust was a hand-made whole wheat garlic bread, and yes I made it from scratch without a bread maker or any machines. This made for a really rustic and irregular shape and texture, truly homemade comfort. I also made the tomato sauce from scratch, making this an all day thing that I would best do on winter break like now. The hot italian spicy sausage, crumbled and cooked into the dough was the best part, I think. Fresh italian cheeses and lots of fresh basil topped it off. This was time consuming, but very worthwhile and ultimately easy to do.
