@aronemerson4: 🍕 Crispy Detroit-Style Pepperoni Pizza Crispy caramelized cheese edges, a fluffy golden crust, bubbling mozzarella, spicy pepperoni, and stripes of rich tomato sauce — this homemade Detroit-style pizza is seriously hard to resist. The crust stays airy and soft inside while the cheese melts all the way to the edges of the pan, creating that signature crispy cheesy border. INGREDIENTS For the Dough: • 2¼ cups all-purpose flour • 1 tsp instant yeast • 1 tsp sugar • 1 tsp salt • ¾ cup + 2 tbsp warm water • 1 tbsp olive oil For the Pizza: • 8 oz low-moisture mozzarella, cut into small cubes • 6 oz Monterey Jack cheese, shredded • 4 oz pepperoni slices • 1¼ cups thick pizza sauce • 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan • 1 tsp dried oregano • ½ tsp red pepper flakes, optional • Fresh basil for finishing • Olive oil for the pan INSTRUCTIONS 1. Combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. 2. Add the warm water and olive oil. 3. Mix until a sticky dough forms, then knead for 5–7 minutes until smooth and elastic. 4. Cover and let the dough rise for about 1½ hours, or until doubled in size. 5. Generously coat a 9x13-inch dark metal baking pan with olive oil. 6. Transfer the dough to the pan and gently stretch it toward the corners. 7. Let it rest for 15 minutes, then stretch again until it reaches all four edges. 8. Cover and let the dough rise in the pan for another 30 minutes. 9. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). 10. Arrange some of the pepperoni directly over the dough. 11. Scatter the mozzarella cubes and Monterey Jack evenly across the pizza. IMPORTANT: Push plenty of cheese all the way to the edges of the pan. This creates the signature crispy caramelized Detroit-style cheese crust. 12. Add the remaining pepperoni over the cheese. 13. Spoon the pizza sauce over the top in 3 thick stripes. 14. Sprinkle with Parmesan and oregano. 15. Bake for 14–18 minutes until the crust is golden, the cheese is bubbling, and the edges become deeply caramelized and crispy. 16. Let the pizza rest in the pan for about 3 minutes. 17. Carefully loosen the crispy edges with a spatula and transfer the pizza to a cutting board. 18. Cut into thick square slices. 19. Finish with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately while the cheesy edges are still crispy.
