[Pizza](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/pizza) Weeknight Detroit Pizza Recipe by [The Book of Pizza](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/author/the-book-of-pizza) [200 Reviews 4\.5 out of 5 stars](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe#review-section) [](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/bake-of-the-week-recipes) One of our longstanding obsessions is Detroit-style pizza, a dish born at Buddy's Rendezvous (later to become Buddy's Pizza) in that city more than 70 years ago. Known for its thick crust and crackly-crisp sides and bottom, it also layers classic pizza toppings in reverse order: cheese first (brick cheese, to be totally traditional), then sauce. The sauce included here is jammy, thick, and distinctly sweet. Could you use a different sauce? Technically, yes. But it wouldn’t be a Motor City Classic. Detroit pizza is traditionally baked in a [special dark anodized pan](https://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/detroit-style-pizza-pan) to achieve perfectly crispy caramelized cheese around the edge; a harmonious balance to the soft, chewy crust, and sauce and gooey cheese on top. *Editor's note: This recipe has been updated to feature the "weeknight" variation of Detroit-style pizza in our cookbook,* [*The Book of Pizza: Recipes for Every Pizza Maker.*](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-baking-companys-the-book-of-pizza) *See "*[*tips*](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe#bakers-tips)*," below for details.* Prep 40 mins Bake 22 to 26 mins Total 4 hrs Yield one 13" x 9" pizza Save Recipe Print Share Share - [Share on Facebook](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share by Email](mailto:?subject=Weeknight%20Detroit%20Pizza%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking&body=Weeknight%20Detroit%20Pizza%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingarthurbaking.com%2Frecipes%2Fweeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Pinterest](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Linkedin](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Threads](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe)               [](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/half-sheet-baking-parchment-paper) Share - [Share on Facebook](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share by Email](mailto:?subject=Weeknight%20Detroit%20Pizza%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking&body=Weeknight%20Detroit%20Pizza%20Recipe%20%7C%20King%20Arthur%20Baking%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.kingarthurbaking.com%2Frecipes%2Fweeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Pinterest](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Linkedin](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) - [Share on Threads](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe) [Shop this Recipe](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/bread-flour) ## Ingredients Detroit-style dough - 3 cups (360g) [King Arthur Unbleached Bread Flour](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/bread-flour) - 1 1/2 teaspoons (9g) table salt - 1 teaspoon (3g) [instant yeast](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/saf-red-instant-yeast) - 1 cup plus 3 tablespoons (270g) water, lukewarm (85°F to 90°F) - 1 generous tablespoon (15g) extra-virgin olive oil Sauce\* - 2 tablespoons (25g) extra-virgin olive oil - 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped - one 28-ounce can (794 grams) crushed tomatoes - 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (17g) granulated sugar - 1 teaspoon table salt, plus more to taste \*See “[tips](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe#bakers-tips),” below.

Add the water and oil. Mix until thoroughly combined and homogeneous; don’t be afraid to stir vigorously to incorporate the dry ingredients. If the dough feels dry, add a scant tablespoon of water. 2. Cover the dough and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. 3. **Perform a bowl fold:** Uncover the dough and use a wet hand to grab a section of dough from one side, lift it up, then press it down into the middle. Repeat, turning the bowl 90° (a quarter turn) after each stretch, three to six times total, until the dough won’t elongate easily. Turn the dough over, placing it seam-side down in the bowl. 4. Cover and let it rest at room temperature for 15 minutes. #### Learn more [](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/03/09/detroit-style-pizza-pan) Blog ##### [The pan for people who love crispy edges](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/03/09/detroit-style-pizza-pan) By Jessica Battilana 5. Repeat the bowl fold. After the second bowl fold, the dough should be smoother and feel tighter. Cover the dough and allow it to rest at room temperature for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until it’s slightly puffy but not necessarily doubled in size. (The dough can be covered tightly and transferred to the refrigerator to rest for 8 to 24 hours after the second bowl fold, before the room temperature rest. Remove the dough from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for 1 hour before proceeding with the recipe.) 6. **To make the sauce:** In a medium saucepan over medium heat, heat the oil until shimmering. Stir in the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. 7. Add the tomatoes, sugar, and salt and bring to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, until the sauce has reduced significantly; you should have about 3 cups of sauce. 8. Add additional salt to taste. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Use immediately or transfer to a lidded container and refrigerate for up to 5 days. 9. **To assemble and bake the pizza:** Position a rack in the bottom third of the oven. Place a [baking steel](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/brod-taylor-bread-steel) or [stone](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-bread-and-pizza-stone) on the rack and preheat the oven to 500°F. Grease a [Detroit-style pizza pan](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/detroit-style-pizza-pan) or a [9" x 13" pan](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-cake-and-brownie-pan) with the oil. Transfer the dough to the pan and turn once to coat in oil. 10. Gently press and stretch the dough, using your fingertips to dimple the surface and encourage it to cover the entire pan. If the dough resists, cover it, let it rest for 30 minutes, and try again. Cover the dough and let it rest for 45 to 60 minutes, until slightly puffy (there should be some bubbles on the surface and edges, but the dough will not have doubled in size). 11. Slide the pan onto the steel or stone and bake until the dough has set but has barely taken on any color, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. 12. Starting at the edges of the pan, sprinkle a thick layer of brick cheese where the dough meets the pan edge; it will sizzle on contact with the pan. Once you’ve made this cheese moat, distribute the remaining cheese across the interior of the dough. 13. Using about 1 1/3 cups (roughly 300g) of sauce (reserve the remainder for another use), spoon thick stripes on the diagonal on top of the cheese layer. Distribute pepperoni on top, if desired. 14. Return the pizza to the oven and bake until the edges are deeply colored and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. 15. Remove the pan from the oven and run a dull knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the pizza from the edge. With courage and conviction (and a large spatula to aid you), immediately slide the pizza out of the pan onto a wire rack (this will prevent it from steaming in the pan and losing its crisp crust). Let cool for a few minutes, then sprinkle with the pecorino and red pepper flakes, if using. Transfer to a cutting board and cut into squares. 16. **Storage information**: Store leftover Detroit pizza in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Reheat in a 350°F oven until warm throughout, 10 to 15 minutes. ## Tips from our Bakers - Pizza sauce is thicker than tomato sauce, and it helps prevent the crust from becoming soggy. If you want to substitute store-bought tomato sauce, reduce it on the stovetop until it reaches a thick, not-watery consistency that can be dolloped, rather than poured or spread, onto your dough. - In January 2026, we updated this recipe to match the version in [The Book of Pizza](https://www.amazon.com/King-Arthur-Baking-Companys-Pizza/dp/1668054450/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1ED051P0NF19V&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.b3hP18GaIwtng_euuw7n7PLy6VIo5Ie5CAl4xyDZi31pDP3FkduJ35QTd4QUp9xs9LCNexrWdqY0u5IB3U4xZjI56Naxwqh92dJz1gGWy2r1KI5qW-EPHiqLftWyoZ9K8LkQ73SwU5pShIqbR7-ZtfXa-EEQIIdrDpnd451JngOO8ImsGtLb7SkeqaaqTJqD5qu_9GIYdqfNrpgMbyV2r_1Xk3VfXT6p1dYWXYGIByg.d4FgXjrrfUO4pAz2efXwPIOGMeXTv6h7DOpEbo97NME&dib_tag=se&keywords=pizza+book+king+arthur&qid=1766090186&sprefix=pizza+book+king+arthur%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-1). It's a relatively fast, streamlined approach to Detroit-style pizza that closely reflects the authentic pie, thanks to the use of brick cheese and sweet tomato sauce and the emphasis on generous edge caramelization. ## Baker’s Resources - [Recipe success guide](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/guides/recipe-success-guide) - [Baking guides](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn) - [High-altitude baking](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/resources/high-altitude-baking) - [Baker’s yeast](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/05/10/guide-to-baking-with-yeast) - [Ingredient weight chart](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/learn/ingredient-weight-chart) - [Tools & pans](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2023/06/05/your-complete-guide-to-baking-pans) - [How to measure flour](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/videos/baking-skills/how-to-measure-flour) - [Safe handling instructions](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/policies/flour-safety)  [Chat with a baker](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/launchchat) Shop ### Recommended for you [ 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 800 Reviews Reviews Bread Flour \$6.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/bread-flour) [ 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3102 Reviews Reviews SAF Red Instant Yeast \$9.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/saf-red-instant-yeast) [ 4.5 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 13 Reviews Reviews Smoky Spicy Seasoning \$6.98 \$8.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/smoky-spicy-seasoning) [ 4.9 out of 5 stars out of 5 stars 3509 Reviews Reviews All-Purpose Flour \$6.95](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/unbleached-all-purpose-flour) Reviews Q\&A 4\.5 Based on 200 reviews - 5 155 - 4 19 - 3 13 - 2 4 - 1 9 Write A Review Search reviews Search reviews Rating RatingAll ratings All ratings 5 stars 4 stars 3 stars 2 stars 1 star With media Sort by Sort by:Highest rating Highest rating Lowest rating Most recent With media Verified purchase - LB Linda B.

 Weeknight Detroit Pizza [](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/bake-of-the-week-recipes) One of our longstanding obsessions is Detroit-style pizza, a dish born at Buddy's Rendezvous (later to become Buddy's Pizza) in that city more than 70 years ago. Known for its thick crust and crackly-crisp sides and bottom, it also layers classic pizza toppings in reverse order: cheese first (brick cheese, to be totally traditional), then sauce. The sauce included here is jammy, thick, and distinctly sweet. Could you use a different sauce? Technically, yes. But it wouldn’t be a Motor City Classic. Detroit pizza is traditionally baked in a [special dark anodized pan](https://www.kingarthurflour.com/shop/items/detroit-style-pizza-pan) to achieve perfectly crispy caramelized cheese around the edge; a harmonious balance to the soft, chewy crust, and sauce and gooey cheese on top. *Editor's note: This recipe has been updated to feature the "weeknight" variation of Detroit-style pizza in our cookbook,* [*The Book of Pizza: Recipes for Every Pizza Maker.*](https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/king-arthur-baking-companys-the-book-of-pizza) *See "*[*tips*](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/weeknight-detroit-pizza-recipe#bakers-tips)*," below for details.* Prep 40 mins Bake 22 to 26 mins Total 4 hrs Yield one 13" x 9" pizza  ### For more recipes like this subscribe to our newsletter View our [privacy policy](https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/policies/privacy-policy)
