Into the Woods: A New Thanksgiving Tradition

This year we decided to make a new Thanksgiving tradition. We were to have turkey and all the trimmings with friends on Friday. So we decided to make a Chicago style deep dish pizza for Thanksgiving. It was a whole-family affair. Everyone did a little of everything. We cooked our Deep Woods Deep Dish in a cast iron pan to help crisp the crust. It was fun and we made some lasting memories. In years to come I hope we build on those we made this year.
We had enough crust for 2 pizzas. We made one Chicago-style and one homestyle. Both were great. We will tweak and develop the recipe over the years. But we have a new secret family recipe. We did not get a picture of the finished product. We were so excited and ready to eat we forgot to snap a picture of the finished pies. They were delicious.
