Detroit-style pizza is one of a kind, with its thick focaccia-like crust, caramelized cheese, and dollops of tomato sauce.

Ingredients

6 oz. (175 g) Muenster cheese, grated (2 cups/500 mL )
4 oz. (125 g) low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded (1 cup/250 mL)
½ tbsp (7 mL) vegetable oil
Flour for sprinkling
1 lb. (454 g) frozen pizza dough, thawed
¼ tsp (1 mL) Italian Seasoning Mix
24 pepperoni slices
⅓ cup (75 mL) pizza sauce

Directions

Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C).
Brush the 12" (30-cm) Cast Iron Skillet with oil. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough to a 10" (25-cm) square.
Transfer the dough to the skillet and press to fill the pan. Thoroughly pierce the dough with a fork. Top the dough with ⅛ tsp (0.5 mL) of the seasoning and place the pan on the stovetop. Cook over high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the dough slightly puffs.
Remove the pan from the heat and top with 12 pepperoni slices, then both cheeses, making sure to cover the entire pizza, including the edges, with the cheese. Top with the remaining seasoning. Use a spoon to dollop the pizza sauce onto the dough. Add the remaining pepperoni slices and bake for 15 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.
