Detroit-Style Pizza

Cultural Context

Originating in Detroit, this pizza style features a thick, rectangular crust with a crispy edge, often topped with cheese and sauce layered in a unique way. Traditionally served in a blue steel pan, it reflects the city's industrial roots. Today, Detroit-style pizza has gained popularity across the U.S. and beyond, with many pizzerias offering their own interpretations.

1

Mix 2 cups (240 grams) of bread flour, 6 grams of salt, and instant yeast in a 2-quart container.

2

Add 170 grams of lukewarm water to the dry ingredients.

3

Pour in 24 grams (2 tablespoons) of olive oil into the dough mixture.

4

Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until just combined, ensuring it's homogenous.

5

Cover the container and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.

6

After 15 minutes, perform a bowl fold to develop the dough's elasticity.

7

Cover the container again and let it rest for another 15 minutes.

8

After the second rest, perform another bowl fold to strengthen the dough further.

9

Cover the container and let the dough rise in a warm place for 60 to 90 minutes until puffy but not doubled.

10

Prepare a 9x9 inch dark anodized pan by coating it with 24 grams (2 tablespoons) of olive oil.

11

Gently coax the risen dough into the oiled pan without disturbing its structure.

12

Stretch the dough to fit the corners of the pan, if necessary, allowing it to relax if it resists.

13

Cover the pan and let the dough rise for 90 to 120 minutes until it has settled into the pan and puffed up.
