Sicilian Style Deep Dish Pizza | Culture Kitchen

Instructions

Ingredients:

• 1 pound Sicilian pizza, dough (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup homemade tomato sauce or store bought tomato sauce
• ½ cup sliced mushrooms
• ¼ cup sliced jalapeños (adjust according to your spice preference
• ¼ cup anchovy
• 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
• 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 teaspoon of dried oregano
• 4 Tbsp Olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Hot honey for final drizzle
• Chopped basil for garnish

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lightly oil a baking sheet or a Sicilian pizza pan. Roll out the pizza dough to fit the size of your pan. Press it into the pan evenly, making sure it reaches the edges.

2. In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside. Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

3. Sprinkle the dried oregano, shredded mozzarella, and Monterey jack cheese over the sauce. Arrange the sliced mushrooms, jalapeños, and anchovy over the cheese. Drizzle a little olive oil over the toppings and season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted. Once done, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing in even squares and serving.

5. Drizzle with hot honey, if desired. Top with fresh basil for garnish
