• 1 tbsp sugar

• 2 1/4 teaspoons dry yeast

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3 1/2 cups flour

• 1 tsp salt

Sauce:

• 400g diced tomatoes

• 1 tablespoon olive oil or any vegetable oil available

• 1 medium onion, chopped

• 1 tsp dried basil

• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

• salt and pepper to taste

Fillers:

• Sausages (quantity to taste), sliced

• 1 medium onion, sliced

• 1 green bell pepper, sliced

• 1 red bell pepper, sliced

• 2 cups grated mozzarella cheese

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

Dough preparation: 

1. In a large bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Leave it for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
2. Add the oil, flour, and salt, and knead until a smooth and firm dough is formed. We cover the dough with a damp towel and let it ferment in a warm place for an hour or until it doubles in volume.

Preparation of the sauce: 

1. In a saucepan over medium heat, heat oil. Add the onions and stir until golden.
2. Add garlic, basil, and thyme and stir for one minute.
3. Add the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper and simmer for 20 minutes or until the sauce thickens.

(Note: You can use ready-made pizza sauce instead of preparing it from scratch.)

Pizza assembly: 

1. Preheat the oven to 220 ° C.
2. Divide the dough into two parts. We single out each section in the form of a circle larger than a deep frying pan.
3. Put the dough in the pan, and spread the sauce on top.
4. We spread sausages, onions, and peppers on top.
5. Cover the dough with a layer of mozzarella.
6. Spread the second part of the dough on top, covering the edges tightly.
7. Brush the top with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
8. Bake the pizza for 30-40 minutes or until golden and cooked.
9. Let the pizza cool slightly before cutting and serving.

Tips:

• You can add other ingredients to the filling as desired, such as mushrooms, olives, or beef.

• Be sure to use a deep frying pan suitable for the size of the dough.

• Serve Chicago pizza with tomato sauce, mayonnaise sauce, or ranch sauce.
