Dough:
- 12 ounces all - purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Toppings:
- 8 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Add the warm water and olive oil. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 - 1.5 hours, until it doubles in size.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your Skycrops pizza oven to 500°F (260°C). The 360 - rotating pizza stone in the Skycrops oven ensures even heat distribution, which is crucial for getting that perfect crispy crust Detroit pizza is known for.
- Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to a greased 9x13 - inch rectangular baking pan. Press the dough into the pan, making sure it reaches the corners and is evenly spread. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cheese. Drizzle the pizza sauce over the pepperoni.
- Bake the Pizza: Place the baking pan in the preheated Skycrops pizza oven. Bake for 3 - 4 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The efficient heating system of the Skycrops oven cuts down on baking time, so you can enjoy your pizza faster.
- Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and slice into squares. Serve hot and enjoy your homemade Detroit pizza!
