Discover the world of homemade Detroit-style pizza, an easy yet delicious recipe perfect for home cooks. This guide covers all you need to make this cheesy, crusty delight in your kitchen.
Ingredients
- 500 g White Bread Flour Strong
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Dried Yeast
- 2 tbsp Olive Oil
- 300 ml Warm Water
- 200 g Mozzarella Cheese Grated
- 100 g Cheddar Cheese Grated
- 200 g Tomato Sauce
- 1 tsp Dried Oregano
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Red Chilli Flakes Optional
- 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil For greasing
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. In a separate small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir well until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes until it's smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball.
- Grease another bowl with vegetable oil and place the dough in it. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it proof for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and grease a rectangular baking dish (around 9x13 inches) with vegetable oil.
- Gently stretch and press the dough into the greased baking dish, making sure it covers the bottom evenly. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
- Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle the grated mozzarella and cheddar cheese evenly over the sauce. Then, sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes (if using) over the cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Detroit-style pizza!
Notes
Detroit-style pizza is known for its square shape and crispy edges, so make sure to press the dough all the way to the edges of the pan.
Feel free to customise your toppings with your favourite ingredients like pepperoni, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
This pizza pairs wonderfully with a side of garlic butter dipping sauce or a fresh salad.
