surface. \u00a0I keep discovering new ones and it&#8217;s so much fun to see the yummy and creative things people come up with and the amazing photos people take of their food! \u00a0It&#8217;s both inspiring&#8230;and a little frustrating! \u00a0Where do you find the time to make a meal in the middle of the day and photograph it so it looks beautiful?!<\/p>\n<p>I came across<a href=\"http:\/\/www.seasonsandsuppers.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Seasons and Suppers<\/a> a few months ago and it never disappoints. \u00a0The recipes always look and sound delicious. \u00a0While some are totally approachable, others are those I plan to just drool over from afar rather than attempt myself. \u00a0But this recipe for deep dish pizza was something I knew I had to try.<\/p>\n<p><a

\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This pizza crust is crazy delicious and has a terrific chew thanks to the cornmeal. \u00a0I didn&#8217;t make the pizza sauce from the original recipe, but plan to sometime! \u00a0It seems simple and delicious. \u00a0I used the sausage and bacon called for in the original recipe, but you could use any toppings (I guess they&#8217;re more like fillings in a pizza like this) that you like. \u00a0Jennifer says to add a layer of pepperoni for a meatier pizza&#8230;genius.<\/p>\n<p>I wouldn&#8217;t bake this ahead of time, it&#8217;s best right out of the oven, bu there are some things you can do to make dinnertime less stressful. \u00a0Cook the bacon and the sausage and slice the cheese (if you need to) earlier in the day and store in the refrigerator. \u00a0You can also do those things while the dough is rising.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.hottie-biscotti.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/03\/deepdishpizza6.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\"
