Prepare Detroit style pizza dough, which has been proofing in the pan overnight.

Preheat the oven to 720°F (approximately 382°C).

Cut the dried mozzarella or brick cheese into small cubes and top the dough generously with it, ensuring even coverage.

Season the tomato sauce with salt and oregano, then drizzle two racing stripes of sauce over the cheese.

Add slices of black forest ham evenly across the pizza, ensuring each bite has some ham.

Top with thinly sliced pineapple to ensure it cooks well and doesn't taste raw.

Add banana peppers to the pizza, using a lighter hand if they are spicy.

Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top before baking.

Launch the pizza into the oven and immediately turn the flame down to its lowest setting.

Turn the pizza two or three times while it bakes for about 10 minutes until done.

Remove the pizza from the pan quickly to prevent it from getting soggy.

Slice the pizza and serve with homemade ranch for dipping.
