Detroit-Style Pizza

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1In a small bowl, whisk warm Water, Instant Yeast, and Granulated Sugar; let stand 5 minutes until foamy.
2. 2In a large bowl, combine Bread Flour and Diamond Crystal Kosher Salt. Pour in yeast mixture and 1 Tbsp Olive Oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
3. 3Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a sprinkle of flour if too sticky.
4. 4Lightly oil a bowl with remaining Olive Oil. Place dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled, about 1 hour.
5. 5Punch down dough and let rest 10 minutes before shaping.

Steps

1. 1Place a 10×14-inch steel or rectangular baking pan on the middle rack and preheat oven to 500°F.
2. 2Generously brush the pan bottom and sides with Vegetable Oil.
3. 3Transfer dough to the oiled pan. Using oiled fingertips, press dough evenly to the edges and into the corners, creating a thin, uniform layer.
4. 4Sprinkle Mozzarella Cheese in an even layer, ensuring cheese reaches the edges to create a crispy crust.
5. 5Evenly distribute Pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
6. 6Using a spoon, place reserved Tomato Sauce in stripes down the length of the pizza.
7. 7Bake until crust is golden brown, cheese is bubbly, and edges are deeply caramelized, 15–20 minutes.
8. 8Remove pizza from oven and let rest 5 minutes before slicing into 6 pieces. Serve warm.
