Celebrate National Deep Dish Pizza Day April 5th marks a celebration <br />of this famous pie. The pizza is also known as "Chicago-style" <br />due to its creation at a Pizzeria Uno <br />in the Illinois city. The bulky pizza, whose crust can be up to three inches deep, was first made in 1943. Its creation eventually led to "stuffed pizza," <br />which also debuted in Chicago in 1974. To give the deep dish crust a <br />yellow-like appearance, <br />wheat and semolina flour is added. The pizza is also cooked in a round pan, <br />just a like a dessert pie would. Before cooking, the dough is spread out <br />to fill the pan, allowing the pizza's <br />ingredients to be added. The cheese is placed first, followed <br />by a mixture of meat and veggies. When it comes to <br />making stuffed pizza, an <br />extra layer of dough is used. This second layer is placed above <br />the cheese, meat and vegetables. For stuffed pies, canola oil is <br />used in the dough most of the time. Tomato sauce then blankets the second layer before the pizza is ready to be cooked.
