Now that’s a Detroit bad boy right there. You’ve heard of New York Pizza. You’ve heard of Chicago Pizza. But today we’re cooking the hot new pizza on the market, Detroit style pizza. What makes it great is a crunchy cheese edge around the entire perimeter, topped with a bunch of cupping pepperoni,

A robust sauce. We got our dough. It’s been proofing for a few hours. It’s looking super bubbly. It’s a beautiful day today so let’s go cook outside. So one of the most important things about Detroit pizza is a Detroit pizza pan, and Ooni just released a new one.

It comes with this awesome lid for proofing. This pan is going to help the pizza caramelize on the edges and on the bottom of the crust without having it stick. It’s a perfect, essential tool for making this style of pizza. Out here we’ve got our Ooni Volt oven. It’s an indoor/outdoor oven.

We have it preheated. It’s ready to go. We’re going to parbake this dough with no topping, and then we’re to pull it out and make it cheesy. So it’s been 4-ish minutes. We’re going to pull our dough out. Oh, wow. Look at that. We got this awesome, super fluffy parbaked dough.

What we’re doing with the parbake is- this dough takes a long time to cook. And if you topped it with all your ingredients- a lot of times those ingredients will break down, burn. So we want to give the dough a little bit of a head start

Before we top it with cheese, which is what we’re going to do right now. I got some shredded mozzarella, low moisture. Really, really good stuff. You want a cheese that’s going to melt really good and caramelize. As you can see, I am not shy when it comes to the cheese.

And we really want to get those edges. That’s when you’re going to get that crunchy outside. They call it, “the frico.” So the cheese is on, now it’s time for the pepperoni. And as you know, you can never have too much pepperoni. So we’re just going to go to town.

This is the cupping pepperoni. We sell some on our website. We make it, it’s Ooni’s pepperoni. It’s awesome. This is going to go back in the oven for about 5 minutes and then we’re going to pull it out and put some sauce on it. All right. Look at that. Oh my Lord.

It is looking real crunchy. Our pepperoni is all curled up. Look at the cheese on the outside. It’s caramelizing. It’s almost perfect. But we’re gonna put some tomato sauce on it and a little bit of parmesan. So traditionally in Detroit, you do a little racing stripe sauce technique

And we’re going to just do two stripes down the line. And now we’re going to sprinkle a bunch of parmesan on it. All right. We’re going to put this back in the oven. To get the pizza out of the pan, you’re going to need a spatula. This is an Ooni Detroit Pizza Spatula.

Specifically designed for this kind of pizza. And our pizza is really hot. So I still have my glove on as I’m going to follow the edges and I’m going to keep that cheese intact. I’m trying to just scrape the edges so I don’t lose any of that crunchy goodness.

So now I’ve gone through the edges. I’m just going to kind of slide this underneath and I’m going to take it- Oh wow. Look at these crunchy edges. Beautiful cheese crust all around. So I slice it down the middle and then I’m just going to slice little rectangle slices. This looks incredible.

Oh my gosh. Just gooey. Look at the crust is so light and fluffy with a beautiful, caramelized crunch. Now that’s a Detroit bad boy right there. You watch me make a Detroit style pizza, and now you can do it, too. Head over to Ooni.com, get yourself a Detroit style pizza pan
