Chicago Deep Dish Pizza... fail

Well, I began by following the recipe very carefully because I really wanted this pizza to be just right-- like the pictures of Lou Malnati's pizza. But first I researched the dough recipe thoroughly and to my chagrin there must be a hundred different ways to make this remarkable dough! And everybody thinks their recipe is the right one-- I found out that's not so. I'm still searching... in the meantime, though, this is what I came up with on my first try. Looks ok but it was a fail. Boo Hoo.








The toppings were good; I used the original ones, mozzarella slices, raw Italian sausage next, canned tomatoes (with basil), and Parmesan cheese. But the crust was too thick, too oily, dense, and just did not taste good! So I'm trying again. Next time I will add cornmeal to the dough recipe (I know, everyone says no cornmeal!), and not so much oil. Wish me luck!
