Perfectly designed for a 12-inch deep-dish pan, this pizza crust becomes the ideal base for your favorite toppings, baking up golden and bubbly in just 30 minutes. Whether you’re a seasoned home baker or trying deep-dish for the first time, this recipe promises authentic flavor and texture—right from your kitchen.
Add the water, olive oil, and corn oil to the bread machine pan in the order recommended by your bread machine's manufacturer.
Add the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, sugar, and salt to the pan. Ensure the dry ingredients are distributed evenly over the liquid in the pan.
Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients without exposing the liquid. Add the active dry yeast to the well.
Set the bread machine to the 'Dough' cycle and start the machine. This will knead the dough and allow it to rise.
Once the bread machine dough cycle is complete (approximately 90 minutes), remove the dough from the pan and place it on a floured surface.
Knead the softened butter into the dough until fully incorporated. This step will enhance the crust's buttery flavor and texture.
Roll out the dough to fit a 12-inch deep-dish pizza pan or divide it into two smaller pans if desired. Press the dough evenly into the pan, ensuring it goes up the sides to form a raised edge.
Cover the pan(s) with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for 20–30 minutes to rise slightly.
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Add your favorite pizza toppings and bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
