Perfect for smaller families that have the craving for deep-dish pizza, this genius recipe is baked in a loaf pan, yielding fewer servings of the Chicago classic. We filled ours with Italian sausage, onion, green bell pepper, pepperoni, shredded mozzarella and plenty of sauce, but you can easily customize the filling to your family’s tastes!

Ingredients

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. Brush bottom and sides of two 8x4-inch shiny aluminum loaf pans with olive oil.
  • 2
    Unroll dough onto large cutting board; cut in half crosswise. Let stand 5 minutes. Press each piece of dough firmly into bottom and at least 2 inches up sides of each pan. Bake 10 minutes.
  • 3
    Meanwhile, heat 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage, onion and bell pepper in skillet 7 to 9 minutes, stirring frequently, until sausage is no longer pink. Remove from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the pizza sauce until cheese is melted.
  • 4
    Sprinkle bottom of each partially baked crust with 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Divide sausage mixture evenly, and spoon onto cheese layer in each of the pans. Top each evenly with pepperoni slices and remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
  • 5
    Bake pizzas 12 to 15 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown and cheese is melted. Let stand 5 minutes. Run metal spatula or sharp knife around edges of pan to loosen, and carefully remove pizzas from pan to cutting board. With sharp knife, cut each pizza into 4 wedges.

Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    This deep-dish pizza can be customized with your favorite toppings. Try swapping sliced mushrooms for the chopped green bell pepper, or adding sliced ripe olives. Since this recipe makes 2 pans of pizza, you can make 1 pan with toppings for the adults and 1 pan for the kids!
  • tip 2
    Allowing the pizza to stand before removing from the pans to serve helps the filling stay together when cutting. Slightly tip one side of the pan after loosening the crust, and use your hands or an offset metal spatula to get underneath the crust to remove.
  • tip 3
    Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh basil, crushed red pepper flakes or grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.
