Detroit-Style Deep Dish Pizza
Ingredients
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon white sugar
  • 2 1/2 cups bread flour
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack cheese
  • 4 ounces mild Cheddar cheese
  • 1 (8 ounce) package thick pepperoni slices
Instructions
1
Gather all necessary ingredients before commencing the recipe.
2
Combine warm water, yeast, and sugar in a stand mixer bowl; allow these ingredients to dissolve and blend together.
3
Add 2 teaspoons of olive oil, salt, and bread flour to the mixture; utilize a dough hook attachment to knead until the resulting dough is smooth, soft, and elastic in texture.
4
Anoint a 10x14-inch Detroit-style pizza pan with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil; use your fingers to evenly distribute this oil across the pan's surface. Position the dough in the center of the prepared pan.
5
Rub your fingers with some olive oil from the pan, then gently manipulate and stretch the dough into a rectangular shape.
6
Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth; allow it to rise until it has doubled in size, approximately 1 hour.
7
Concurrently prepare the sauce: Heat marinara sauce, oregano, red pepper flakes, and garlic powder over medium-low heat in a saucepan; simmer for 15 minutes.
8
Preheat the oven to 525 degrees F (274 degrees C). Combine Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese in a bowl; lightly toss these ingredients together.
9
Complete the dough: Apply some olive oil to your fingertips, then press out any air pockets from the dough while stretching and pushing it into a rectangular shape that extends to the pan's edges.
10
Stretch the dough up the sides of the pan approximately 1/2 inch; this will help create a crust.
11
Arrange pepperoni slices almost entirely on top of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Scatter cheese evenly over this surface, ensuring that it covers all areas where dough meets pan.
12
Pour the prepared sauce over the top in three long, sweeping motions. Arrange remaining pepperoni slices on top of this sauce.
13
Place the pizza in a preheated oven at 525 degrees F (274 degrees C) and bake until the crust is a bit darker than golden brown, approximately 15 minutes. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes before serving.
14
Carefully slide the pizza onto a cutting board; slice it into rectangular pieces. Serve immediately and enjoy!
