Are you ready for the best Detroit-style pizza recipe made in the comfort of your own kitchen? Known for its thick, chewy crust, hearty sauce, and cheese pull, this amazing recipe hits all the marks!
Add dry ingredients to a stand mixer bowl and mix with a whisk. Use dough hook & turn setting on low. Slowly add warm water. Mix just until the ingredients come together.
Dough will be sticky, that's okay. Cover and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then knead for 9 minutes. Dough should come together and not stick to the sides of the mixing bowl.
Transfer dough to a lightly floured surface. Place flour on your hands and work dough so that it comes together in a ball and doesn't stick to the work surface.
Add olive oil to a 13x9 pan & cover sides in oil, then dough. Leave to rest for 15 minutes to allow gluten in the flour to relax for easier stretching.
Grease your fingertips with olive oil and begin to evenly stretch dough, pushing from the center to the corners of the pan. Try your best to make the dough touch each corner.
Lastly, top pizza with pepperoni. Place pizza on the lowest rack in preheated 500°F oven and cook for 15-17 minutes, turning once at the halfway point.
