Delicious Detroit-style Pizza Recipe
Typically, this pizza is topped with a unique tomato sauce, strong brick cheese, and unidentified herbs. Although you can add or remove toppings to your preference, pepperoni is another popular topping.
The ideal oven temperature is between 500 and 550 degrees Fahrenheit for baking a Detroit pizza. To ensure that the pizza crust bakes correctly, make sure the oven you're using is as hot as it can be. High temperatures are necessary for the crust to brown and crisp, so don't try to avoid them.
Detroit-style pizza is known for its thick, rectangular crust and crispy edges. Here's a recipe for a delicious Detroit-style pizza:
Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 4 cups bread flour
- 2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ cups warm water
- 1 can (14 ounces) crushed tomatoes
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Pepperoni slices (optional)
- Sliced red onions (optional)
- Sliced green bell peppers (optional)
- Olive oil, for greasing the pan
- Cornmeal, for dusting
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the bread flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well.
- Add the olive oil and warm water to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Grease a deep-sided rectangular baking pan (typically 13x9 inches) with olive oil. Sprinkle a generous amount of cornmeal evenly over the bottom of the pan.
- Press the dough into the prepared pan, making sure it reaches the edges and corners. Cover the pan with a clean cloth and let the dough rise for about 1-2 hours until it doubles in size.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- In the meantime, prepare the sauce by combining the crushed tomatoes, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Once the dough has risen, gently press it down to release any air bubbles.
- Spread a thin layer of sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, making sure to cover the entire surface.
- Add your desired toppings, such as pepperoni slices, sliced red onions, and sliced green bell peppers.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Using a spatula, carefully lift the pizza out of the pan and transfer it to a cutting board.
- Slice the pizza into squares and serve.
