LloydPans Kitchenware Detroit Style Pizza Pan, Aluminium, Multi-Colour, 20.32 x 25.40 x 5.58 cm

Product Information

Bake and serve your signature, topping-loaded pizzas in these aluminium tapered/nesting deep dish pizza pans. The cheese is spread to the edges and caramelizes against the high-sided heavyweight rectangular pan, giving the crust a lacy, crispy edge. Cooking on screen is a faster cooking alternative compared to the one in pan, allowing more direct radiation of the heat.

Update 2/10/2023: After many experiments, I find I can get a light, airy dough when I do a room-temperature overnight rise, followed by a room-temperature proof. Buddy's Pizza chief brand officer Wesley Pikula, who started at Buddy's as a busboy in the 1980s, said that he had never heard the term "Detroit-style" before the 1980s when a trade magazine used it and that even afterward it was seldom used except in national trade articles. After stretching my dough, I added a layer of diced brick cheese, which I made sure to spread all the way to the very edges of the pan.Remove the pizza from the oven, run a spatula around the edges to loosen it from the pan, and let it rest for 10 minutes, or until you can handle it. I let it rest once more to allow the gluten to relax, then stretched it out until it filled out the pan all the way to the edges, before topping and baking it in a hot oven.

Continue mixing at medium-low speed until dough forms a smooth, silky ball, about 10 minutes longer.Once the dough is cooled, you can transfer it to an airtight storage bag for 1 to 2 days at room temperature or up to 3 months in the freezer. Wisconsin Brick Cheese, which is derived from white American cheddar, but has a higher fat content, is traditional.
