  • Preparation: 90 min
  • Cooking: 20 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (240 g)
  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Diets: High protein
  • Contains: beef, dairy, gluten, pork

Ingredients

  • 90 g Flour, bread (strong)
  • 1.5 g Yeast, active dry
  • 10 g Olive oil
  • 1 g Salt
  • 2 g Sugar
  • 70 g Mozzarella, low-moisture
  • 25 g Pepperoni
  • 40 g Tomato sauce, canned

Method

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in 55 g of warm water and leave for 10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Mix the flour and salt in a bowl, add the yeast mixture and half the oil, and bring together into a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  3. Knead for 6-8 minutes until smooth, then place in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour until doubled.
  4. Oil a small rectangular pan with the remaining oil and press the dough out to the edges with your fingertips; let it rest for 20 minutes.
  5. Scatter the mozzarella (standing in for Wisconsin brick cheese) right to the edges of the dough so it caramelises against the pan, then top with the pepperoni slices.
  6. Bake at 240°C (465°F) for 12-15 minutes until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is deep golden and crisp at the edges.
  7. Spoon two stripes of the tomato sauce across the top after baking, in the classic Detroit style, then slice into squares and serve.
