    Thanks to Buddy's Pizza in Detroit for showing me their process, on which my recipe is based: • Industry + immigrants ...
    ***RECIPE***
    To get the right dough thickness, I think you want to start with 1 cup (237mL) of water per 110 square inches (279 cm) of pan area. My pan is 165 sq in, so I started with 1.5 cups of water, which is the recipe you see below. Adjust all other quantities accordingly.
    1.5 cups (355mL) water
    1.5 teaspoons yeast
    1.5 teaspoons coarse salt
    bread flour (I don't measure it, but I probably used about 500g, 4 cups)
    1 cup (237mL) canned crushed or pureed tomatoes (they use Stanislaus brand at Buddy's)
    7 oz (200g) Wisconsin brick cheese (instead you could use mild cheddar or low-moisture mozzarella or both)
    2 ounces (57g) sliced pepperoni
    olive oil
    herbs and spices for the sauce (I used oregano, thyme, garlic powder and black pepper)
    Combine the water with the yeast, salt, and as much bread flour as you can stir in with a spoon. Cover and let autolyse for 20 minutes. Knead in some more flour until you have a stretchy dough that's still pretty sticky. Cover and let rise until doubled, about two hours.
    While you're waiting you can prep the cheese by cutting it into chunks - chunks will melt slower than shreds, and we want to slow the melting. Keep the cut cheese in the freezer, for the same reason. You can also mix the canned tomatoes with some herbs and spices, maybe a little olive oil and a little water if it looks too thick to spread. If your pepperoni slices are very wide, maybe cut them into quarters.
    Prep your pan by coating the interior surface with a film of olive oil. A well-seasoned blue steel Detroit-style pizza pan would be traditional, but an aluminum cake pan or sheet pan would do ok instead.
    When the dough is risen, transfer it to the oiled pan and stretch it out to fill the pan as well as you can. Cover and let it proof and relax for about a half hour. This would be a good time to get your oven heating as hot as it will go, convection if you have it. After the dough has proofed, you should be able to stretch it into the corners of the pan, if you weren't able to before.
    Top the pizza with the pepperoni first, then the cheese, and then lay on the sauce in a few narrow stripes on top. Bake until it's as brown as possible but before the cheese squeezes out a ton of grease. Mine took about 15 minutes. Run a spatula around the edge to release the pizza from the pan before sliding it out to a board and slicing.

    If you bake with the pan on a pre-heated steel or stone, you will get a much darker bottom. Works a treat. No need to put the pizza directly on the steel post-bake, just put the pan itself on the steel.

    My dad is from Detroit; he used to take me and my brother to Buddy’s as kids, and as a home cookingenthusiast has done loads of research on how to replicate it at home.
    He swears by standard nonstick pans. The first time he made it at home, he special-ordered a blue steel pan, likely the same one/from the same source as the one in this video. He made enough dough for two pizzas so he made one in the blue steel pan and one in a normal nonstick pan of similar dimensions. I wasn’t there at the time but he said he had real issues with the blue steel pizza sticking, even when oiled, and if I remember correctly it didn’t brown as evenly either. The nonstick pizza came out flawlessly on the first attempt. They may be the “authentic” tool for the job, but do not be afraid to just use a run-of-the-mill rectangular nonstick pan from Wal-Mart like my dad does.

    • @Aikano9

    Greetings from Finland! 🤠🇫🇮 My boyfriend and I have cracked the cheese overcooking problem by just simply adding the cheese a bit later on the pizza while the crust has had a bit of oven time on its own first.
    We do it like this:
    1) Do the thing. By "thing" i mean literally everything that is involved in making pizza. The dough, the dough spreading, the toppings. Preheating the oven etc. Everything but the cheese!
    2) When you're done with everything else and the pizza is ready to bake, toppings and all, put the pizza in the oven without any cheese at first. We use 300° Celcius, which is the maximum we get here. And as a bonus tip, we don't use a pizza stone, but we simply leave our baking sheet in the oven while the oven is preheating! When the oven is ready, the sheet will be smoking hot and by baking our pizza on the pre-heated baking sheet we can assure that the crust will be super crispy! It's a bit of a hassle to take the hot sheet out of the oven and put the pizza on top of it, but that we have solved by rolling up the pizza dough directly on a parchment paper. The parchment is really easy to lift on the hot baking sheet without burning yourself. It's generally a two person job, but i've managed to do it alone aswell. You just need to be super fast and confident in your movements, lol.
    3) Let the pizza bake until it's nearly done! For us it's usually about 12 minutes. The cheese really needs only a couple of minutes to melt to be just right for us! I like it a bit stretchy and soft. When the crust looks like it's nearly there, you just pop the pizza out from the oven for a moment, quickly toss the cheese on there, and then you bake it for the remaining few minutes!
    When the baking sheet is pre heated as well it doesn't do any damage to just take the pizza out for a moment to add the cheese. It's going to continue cooking on that hot sheet - a bit slower for a moment yes, but that doesn't really matter.
    And you could totally modify this if you like the cheese to brown a bit. Just let the pizza pre bake a bit less time, and add the cheese a bit earlier to give it enough time to melt and brown - but not separate or overcook!
    Result: Crispy bottom and crust, and the cheese exactly how you like it. I hope this technique helps someone to make some awesome pizza! 🍕🍕🍕

      I was about to suggest the same thing. To be honest though I think getting the square pan in of itself is only worth doing if you are really into the detroit pizza thing. You pretty much get all good advantages with a cast iron skillet and it goes on the burner easier. But then again by that point you're just making deep dish pizza.

    The biggest gain I got with my Detroit style at home was shifting form a rectangular pan to a smaller square one (with as thin walls as I could find, I believe mine was specifically made for Detroit style pizzas but it's been a while and can't recall specifically). Which, sure, I'm getting a smaller overall yield that way, but really what makes Detroit style pop for me is that amazing browned cheese crust. A smaller square pan gives me more of that good stuff per-piece.

    • @adamthompson8140
      @adamthompson8140 Рік тому +4

      I have an even better hack that’ll help you- Par bake just the dough for a few minutes BEFORE you top it. This causes the entire pizza to shrink in the pan just a touch, allowing for 1/8” gap around the edges for more cheese to fall between the pan and the edge of the crust. This also gives the crust more oven time than the toppings, so you don’t have to worry about the toppings being over baked before the crust is ready.

    A good trick to getting extra crisp crust when you’re baking a pan pizza is after it has baked, release it from the pan, then drop it onto a preheated pizza steel or baking stone if you have one, or directly onto the bottom rack if you don’t. It’ll crisp up that bottom more, which is critical for these thicker crust pizzas in my opinion.

    One thing I find that helps browning with detroit style pizza for me is the use of shortening on the pan vs olive oil. It makes a crispier crust when it fries on the bottom and also helps the dough stay in place when it ferments/stretches to fit the pan.
    Also finishing the pie on the hot stone at the end keeps the crust crisper and helps negate the home oven's weakness compared to a deck oven. I use Detroit blue steel pans and never have had a pizza come out as light as this one, even without above said tweeks so it could come down to just the power of one's home oven.

    On that subject, if you want your crust to get a little darker, once you take it out, turn one of the stove burners on and move the pan around on top of it for a bit. That will crisp and darken things up nicely.

    I've largely made my own for a while, though I've found that the Great value (Walmart) brand original pizza crust they sell is a good option if you don't have the time to deal with making your own crust. I'm not entirely sure about the actual size of the pans that I've used, but one of them fills the smaller and two fills the larger, though with each there's a little bit of working it to expand.
    The one major thing that I've discovered as a major thing is that for this style pizza, you really need to use something that would be greasy for a "topping" pepperoni and sausage are good options, but a lot of others don't. The main reason is that with the thicker crust, you want the grease to work its way into the crust as you cook and add more flavor to it.
    I've also found that if you aren't using the steel options, parchment is helpful for getting the pizza out of the pan, but you still need to oil it to get the best results there.
    I'm going to need to try freezing the cheese though, mine tended to get quite dark on me as I cooked it, but I also tended to blend in other cheese...the local Krogers actually, occasionally, has Brick Cheese, but I mix it with LM Mozzerella and Provolone...and the cheese area of the Kroger can actually have it fully prepped if you want.

    So thrilled to see a Detroit style pizza episode! What I have found is that using larger cheese chunks it takes longer for the cheese to melt and allows for way more crisping. Also, I use way more cheese around my edges as I like the sides fried in cheese oil.

    and it was great and unusually solty at the bottom in a good way

    I have a deeper pan than what you’re using, and basically just did the Chef John version, it’s always turned out well. Always glad to see the Detroit method of pizza making spread further. I’m from WI, and as far as I’m concerned, there is a place for NY, Chicago and Detroit style pizzas, they’re all great. If you’re eating any of them you’re having a good day.

  • @SkraxsChannel
    @SkraxsChannel Рік тому +4

    To help browning, I bake the pizza without cheese and add it later. However I also prefer using fresh Mozarella, which you do not want to get chewey, so that's really only about 5 minutes max at full blast. I also like to add semola to the greased pan, so you get that crunchy oily texture at the bottom.

  • @willpearson3951
    @willpearson3951 Рік тому +4

    Lots of great suggestions here for getting a darker crust in a home oven. I prefer Chef John's trick of starting off on the range and then moving to an oven. I have a long middle burner meant for a griddle that I use, moving the pan often to get even heating and transferring to the oven after 2-3 minutes (if you hear the crust start to sizzle and fry in the oil, then it's ready for the oven). This gives the crust a good head start. Also, an overnight proof in the refrigerator really improves the taste of the dough, but I usually don't think that far in advance.

    I've had a few pizzas in my day, and Detroit style remains my favorite, followed somewhat closely by Colorado style. Perhaps I am a bit biased in saying that though, as I'm a Detroit native. For those who've not tried it, Buddy's is ludicrously good. I once offered to get my dad some pizza on the way to go see him one afternoon, and he initially turned it down, saying, "Nah, that's fine. I don't want any." to which I responded, "are you sure? I'm getting Buddy's." To which he said, "you're getting Buddy's?! Well, in that case..."

  • @Jorf88
    @Jorf88 Рік тому +9

    Few things:
    Neither Buddy's or Jet's use olive oil for the pan. Best as I could ever tell, Buddy's used corn oil, and Jet's uses a butter flavored oil.
    The hydration percentage of Jet's dough is like above 70%, and I'm pretty sure that Buddy's is near that too. It's an awful sticky mess at that high of hydration, but it's worth it.
    Both places will actually raise the dough in the pan, for most of the day. They make big batches in the morning and just rack up pans (they have hundreds, of course) on roller caddies and take them out as they need them.
    Detroit-style pizza has been my kryptonite since before I even knew what it was called or from where it hailed. It wasn't until I went to graduate school in the mitten that I learned the full story. Buddy's is great, but I was more of a Jet's guy at the end of the day (maybe that's just because we didn't have a buddy's in Ann Arbor).
    The rest of this seems spot on. Everyone needs to give this pizza a try if they haven't. Most American's have had Domino's pan pizza at some point in their lives... that is a very loose approximation of Detroit style pan pizza, and the real thing is so much better. (Domino's is based in MI, for those that don't know.)
    ...now I want pizza.

    • @kahwana1604

      Thank you for the full explanation. Yes high hydration dough can be hard to handle due to its stickiness. But, problem solved. Stretch in pan to rise. I started my dough, it's been in fridge cold fermentation. Tonight is the night for me to shine! Great dough is so rewarding. I will be making pepperoni, mushroom,, onion and double cheese pizza.

    You can get better browning on the bottom by putting the pan on a pizza stone that has been preheated with the oven. I had the same issues when I started making this, and the pizza stone resolved the issue without introducing new ones. I bake on the bottom rack to maximize crust browning, and swap to the broiler if extra color is needed on the top, though that is rare.

    Awesome recipe! I got some really nice crust browning by using a hard anodized aluminum pan from LloydPans and Caputo 00 Americano flour. Supposedly the flour is made for 500 degree conventional ovens and the aluminum conducts heat a lot better than steel. I also really like the "old dough" theory and aged it for a few days in the fridge.
    Instead of brick cheese I used 50/50 whole milk low moisture mozarella and monterey jack which worked out really nicely. This is now our favorite pizza, thanks!

    try putting the pizza on the lowest or second lowest rack in the oven (if your oven has a heating coil on the bottom). I don't have a pizza steel or stone and kept having issues with my cast iron / sheet pan pizzas having an undercooked crust & overcooked cheese. I used to start/finish the pan on the stovetop but it was a bit finicky, I've found just keeping the pizza pan close to the heating coil in my oven does the trick & gets me more consistent results easily
