Gave Detroit style another go today.

Higher hydration+ more oil + less dough. Now with pepperoni.

How do I get better air pockets??? Is it because I use a same day dough recipe?

    2-3 day cold ferment is how you get the pockets then brought to room temp before you put it in the pan. You can also help the cause by not stretching outward once the dough is in the pan but using your fingers to push down the dough to stretch.

    For you looking at the dough it just needs some more time.

    First of all it looks amazing. Love the look of that extra crispy crust 👍

    Was going to say, that crumb looks dense as hell. I use Charlie Anderson’s recipe and make my pizza on the 2nd and 3rd day of fermentation and it’s amazingly light with nice air pockets.

    The color and first picture makes it look amazing, the second picture makes me think it’s a little dense but I bet it was very good!

    Looks great man! Try increasing the hydration more for more fluff. A longer fermentation will help too.
