Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Detroit-Style Pizza Recipe
- In a small bowl, combine warm water and sugar, then sprinkle in instant yeast. Allow it to sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine bread flour and salt. Create a well and pour in the activated yeast mixture with olive oil. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
- Transfer the shaggy dough onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Lightly grease a bowl with olive oil, place the dough inside, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) for at least 30 minutes.
- Grease a 10x14-inch rectangular baking pan with olive oil. Stretch the dough into the prepared pan and let it rest.
- Sprinkle a layer of brick cheese over the dough, letting some hang over the edges. Dollop tomato sauce on top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
- Remove from the oven and cool for 5-10 minutes. Slice into squares and serve.
