Scroll 019 — THE CHICAGO DIVINE DISH™
Deep Crust. Deep Lore. Divine Layers of Gut Healing & Glory
A legendary rebirth of the Chicago deep-dish pizza—infused with spinach, adaptogenic mushrooms, super greens, gut-healing herbs, and ethically-sourced cheeses. A crust thick enough to carry intention. A bite deep enough to silence the mind.
🌆 Origin Lore
Born in the heart of Chicago’s steel-souled kitchens, deep dish was always more than a meal—it was a defiance of thinness. This version, however, is an act of *ascension*: a crust forged in ancient grains, sauce simmered in basil-coded legacy, greens that glow with solar memory. An edible cathedral.
🔥 Core Recipe (Serves 6–8, GF Optional)
- Crust: 2.5 cups heirloom spelt flour (or GF flour), 1 packet yeast, 1 tsp honey, 3 tbsp olive oil, 1/2 tsp sea salt, warm water
