Detroit Style Pizza (Rectangular Deep Dish)

Ingredients

• 1.5 lbs pizza dough
• 1 cup sliced pepperoni
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 cups shredded white cheddar cheese (brick cheese substitute)
• 1 cup warm marinara sauce

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C).

2. 2

   Generously oil a rectangular Detroit-style pizza pan or 9x13 inch baking pan.

3. 3

   Press the dough into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Let rest for 15 minutes.

4. 4

   Layer the pepperoni slices directly onto the dough.

5. 5

   Mix the mozzarella and cheddar cheeses, then spread evenly over the pepperoni, ensuring cheese touches the edges of the pan to create a crust.

6. 6

   Ladle the tomato sauce in two or three wide stripes lengthwise down the pizza on top of the cheese.

7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes until the edges are dark, bubbly, and crispy.

8. 8

   Remove from pan using a spatula, slice into squares, and serve.
