Add Sauce: Use a small spoon to spread 2-3 lines of pizza sauce down the pan, over the cheese. Don’t cover all the cheese. Lightweight or heavyweight? This boils down to your preference. Heavyweight models can handle and retain heat better. However, handling them might be a bit challenging since you have to find the right weight balance for a comfortable grip. Combine the two pre-shredded cheeses for the frico crust in a medium bowl. Spread this cheese around the perimeter of the dough pressing it into the sides of the pan. Be sure you’re rising the dough in a warm place in your oven. As we get into cooler months, you want to make sure you’re rising the dough in a non-drafty part of your home.
If you are like I was, then you have some questions about this unique pizza style. Read on to see if I have answered your question, or feel free to leave me a comment and I will always try to help! What is the difference between Chicago-style pizza and Detroit-style pizza?Authentic Detroit Style Pizza pans must be seasoned before use, where “seasoning” means preparing, not adding herbs and spices. Well-seasoned pans are critical for a good bake and add both flavor and texture to Authentic Detroit Style Pizza. In fact, Authentic Detroit Style Pizza pans age like fine wine: the older the pan, the better the pizza. Pepperoni is often placed directly on the crust, and other toppings may go directly on top of the cheese with the cooked sauce optionally as the final layer, applied in dollops [13] or in "racing stripes", two or three lines of sauce. [2] [3] [8] [16] [29] Some recipes call for the sauce to be added after the pizza comes out of the oven. [3] The style is sometimes referred to as "red top" because the sauce is the final topping.

Detroit-style pizza was developed in 1946 at Buddy's Rendezvous, a former speakeasy owned by Gus and Anna Guerra located at the corner of Six Mile Road and Conant Street in Detroit. [2] [3] [4] Sources disagree whether the original Sicilian-style recipe was based on Anna Guerra's mother's recipe for sfincione [5] or a recipe from one of the restaurant's employees, a Sicilian woman named Connie Piccinato. [6] [7] [8] The recipe created a " focaccia-like crust" and the restaurant baked it in blue steel pans available from local automotive suppliers because baking pans available at the time were not appropriate for the dish. [2] [3] [6] [1] The steel pans were made by Dover Parkersburg in the 1930s and 1940s and were originally used as drip trays or to hold small parts or scrap metal in automobile factories. [7] Some 50- to 75-year-old pans are still in use. [7]
