Product Information

Note: Some places put the toppings over the cheese (like crispy pepperoni), so do it how you want it! That's not a bad way to do it, but I prefer the cosmic oneness that the pizza achieves when the cheese and sauce are cooked together. Next, crumbled Wisconsin brick cheese – a proprietary blend created just for Buddy’s – is sprinkled across the pie before the other toppings. Cover with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature overnight or for 10 to 12 hours.

Anyhow, my point is that all four sites said they add the cheese first, but the photos of their finished product always show the cheese on top, with the toppings above the cheese, like most pizzas. We have a Koda 16 we have been pushing out neopolitan style comfortably for a few months now and my wife is now asking for Detroit style pizza. Mix on low speed until dough comes together into a rough ball, then shut off mixer and let rest for 10 minutes.

Finally, to finish off the unique look, three wide stripes of sauce are skimmed across the top of the pizza before being baked to perfection. When the dough has doubled or nearly doubled, you can transfer it to the fridge for 48 hours or proceed with the recipe. I followed the instructions for visual competition vs recommended time – I ended up cooking about 22 minutes but I believe it’s because I added mushrooms which increased the water content. Pour a couple tablespoons olive oil in the bottom of a Detroit-style anodized aluminum pan or two 8- by 8-inch cake pans.

These cheeses do not taste nearly as good as block cheese you grate yourself, and one solution, smartly suggested by Christy Alia is to use pre-shredded cheese along the perimeter and the good stuff in the interior. Still, if you don't want a dedicated pizza pan, I found that you can get decent results from a pair of deep, well-seasoned or nonstick 8- by 8-inch cake pans. Mix and knead all the dough ingredients — by hand, mixer, or bread machine set to the dough cycle — until a shaggy dough forms. Top the dough with an even layer of pepperoni, followed by the cubed cheeses making sure to spread them to the edges of the pan.LloydPans® manufactures equipment and bakeware for the pizza, restaurant and baking industries in its 104,000 square foot facility in Spokane Valley, Washington.
