Pequod's Deep Dish Pizza (Chicago‑Style Pizza Donuts)

Recipe by Binging with Babish

A faithful recreation of the iconic deep‑dish pizza from the TV show *The Bear*, featuring a buttery, caramelized cheese crust, chunky fresh‑tomato sauce, and a bright basil‑gel garnish. The pizza is baked in a heavily seasoned aluminum pan, then cut into bite‑size “pizza donuts” and finished under the broiler for extra crunch.

Critical Success Points

  • Blanching and peeling tomatoes for a smooth, non‑curly sauce.
  • Seasoning the aluminum pan with multiple coats of polymerized oil.
  • Kneading the dough to the proper windowpane texture.
  • First rise until the dough doubles in size.
  • Pressing the dough into the seasoned pan without flour.
  • Creating a solid mozzarella “cheese wall” against the pan sides.
  • Baking at high temperature to achieve a caramelized cheese crust.
  • Preparing the basil‑gel with gelatin to set properly.

Safety Warnings

  • Boiling water and hot oil can cause severe burns – handle with care.
  • The oven will be at 450 °F; use oven mitts when handling the pan.
  • Gelatin must be heated to at least 120 °F to dissolve fully; avoid overheating.
