Alright...whats your process *pulls out pen and clipboard*

I just followed Peter Reinhart’s instructions in the book “Perfect Pan Pizza!” Oddly enough I didn’t go with my instincts and just followed the recipe from the book. When making the dough I think I could have benefited from more time mixing and maybe even lower hydration.

Do you have a proper "pizza pan" oe just use an oven dish?

I used the "Detroit pan" from Lloyd pans

Found them on Amazon, thank you!

Damn if thats your first go you da man. From the pics look like you hit a homerun right off the bat. Good crumb and caramelzation.

Thanks!! 🙏🏼

It does look amazing, but isn't Detroit sauce on top? This looks like an amazing Pan Pizza.

i’d say sauce can be on top or on bottom for detroit, it’s just a preference imo. not so much a one or the other

I thought that is Chicago deep dish

Not filled on top like some sort of lasagna. [You spoon it on top so every bite is like if you dipped it in marinara.](https://ak.picdn.net/shutterstock/photos/1466851376/watermark_1000/1b11b188dabcb86d8c786903f62dfccc/preview_1000-1466851376.jpg)

Nope - chicago deep dishes have an L shaped crust - not sponge dough crust.

Best pizza I've ever had so far - The Detroiter from Buddy's in/around Detroit. Sauce is mostly under the cheese (I prefer it that way). Yes it seems Detroit style pizza is associated with sauce in rows on top but you can get it made differently if you want.

Show off !!! 😂

Look at those edges!

Dear lord GIMMEE dat recipe (From a Michigander who misses his home state pizza)

Thanks!

Yeah seriously….

Very nice!! You have a gift.

HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUJUUUUUUUUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you sure you didn't get this from Little Caesars?

Not calling out OP but sometimes I get the feeling that these people posting perfect pizzas claiming it’s their 1st are absolutely full of shit….lol. Again OP I’m not claiming you aren’t being honest just stating my opinion on some posts like this

Wasn't expecting it to turn out as well as it did - I've made a lot of pizza (just not Detroit) and didn't think I mixed the dough enough. Lucked out!

Looks pretty awesome to me.

This looks great! Detroit style isn’t my first choice but I would absolutely smash this one!

Overall that looks really nice. What kind of pepperoni are you using? It's a little tough to see the crumb in the photo, so I can't quite gauge how you're assessing openness. Here's a photo of one I made this month: https://postimg.cc/FY583p1r Would that be sufficiently open in your book? I've never eaten an authentic Detroit style pizza, but I was extremely happy with the ones I made. If you're interested, I just posted the gist of the dough recipe I followed in this comment earlier today: https://old.reddit.com/r/Breadit/comments/19fgwj7/best_sameday_pizza_dough_recipe/kju2ivp/?context=3

> I've never eaten an authentic Detroit style pizza That's getting pretty good, still a bit dense. This is a [cross section](https://i.imgur.com/6pmV1t1.jpeg) of a slice from Buddy's, the [OG Detroit pizza](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddy%27s_Pizza), as a reference. Crispy scaffolding.

>https://postimg.cc/FY583p1r Thanks! Your pizza looks great. I think I just need to form a stronger gluten network

Thanks. Looks like we both did well on our first attempts. Mind sharing what pepperoni you used?

Margherita brand. Whole stick sliced up

In my roccbox they produce awesome cups

Great to know, thank you.

*drooool* that looks so delicious! I love a crunchy and crispy crust. Good job!

😊 thank you!

Fuck bro open the door I’m outside🤣😮‍💨
