My new favorite way to make pizza. These Llyods pans are totally worth it!
Pro tip - do not use overproofed pizza dough like I did. You will get waaaay more of an oven spring!

@@WhiteThunderBBQ OMG it was so good. 1st time i ate em all UP! i couldn't get enough

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

Looks great! I am a half hour south west of Detroit and this looks pretty authentic to me!

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Thats great to hear Hobie!! I have never actually had one other than the ones I make at home. Cheers brother!

[@kylea4186]

Since when is detroit style become thin crust? Not detroit style try again. Looks okay though.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

@@kylea4186 it looks like you've read the comments.... the dough was overproofed...check my ig for better examples

[@HobiesGarageBBQ]

@@kylea4186 The most important aspect of Detroit style is that the cheese is spread all the way to the sides of the pan to get a crispy and chewy crust. This one has that. A thinner over-all dough is good for people watching carbs. Not sure how less dough magically disqualifies it as Detroit style.

[@CGBS4744]

Great pie right there, but yes, over proofing is a drag. Great tasting dough, but just too flat. Been 30 years since I had a Detroit pizza, Hmmmmm, may have to do something about that. Woooooooo!!!!!! RTFO!!! GB🤘

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Thanks GB!! You better do something about that! Yeah....as you can tell there wasnt much spring on this dough - still tasted great though. Cheers brother!

[@PicklesBBQandCooking]

I have to admit I don’t know crud about Detroit pizza but that looks good to me Nate! Next up try the pequods pizza from Chicago! Have a great weekend brother and keep on rocking it!

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Its a great deep dish style pizza....usually is like 3 times as thick as this one but the dough was over proofed

[@simonhenry7415]

wow Nate, I've never even heard for a Detroit Pizza until tonight! Have you ever been to Detroit? I hear there is a lot of crime there, but for pizza like that it must be worth the risk. Also, is that crunch sound enhanced? That sounds waaaaay to wicked!!!

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

I have never been there or had the authentic version. But I make a lot of recipes this way. That was definitely a non enhanced crunch. Cheers Simon!

[@simonhenry7415]

@@WhiteThunderBBQ love it mate, keep up the good work!

[@zachbarber3211]

There's only crime in some residential areas of detroit, downtown is really nice and so are the surrounding suburbs and cities. I live here. Fyi real detroit style is a lot thicker, you have to let the dough rise first

[@kylea4186]

I am from detroit and can confirm it is a crime ridden shithole, but then again what democrat ran city isn't a shithole.

[@simonhenry7415]

@@kylea4186 yeah, that sounds about right mate!

[@scottygusmc]

Can I use a glass dish for the pizza or does it need to be metal

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Llyod pans is the way to go!

[@smdgfXMedien]

it doesn't look very tasty... Too much dripping fat. Thanks for the recipe, but not my pizza

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Add less pepperoni... this cupping pepperoni is super greasy. Cheers!

[@steveonthefarm8671]

Brick cheese, heck yeah.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Thanks whats up!!!

[@stevelogan5475]

@ White Thunder BBQ, Nate my good friend, great looking pizza/pie recipe, reminds me of a Sicilian one where cheese 1st & sauce on top to keep it from getting soggy & the crunch sound of you cutting it made me hungry, lol. I use same brand of plum/roma tomatoes " Cento" so I know those are san marzano which are the best in the world. A tip for peeling garlic( maybe not needed with 6 cloves, but is quick when this amount or lot of them) 2 metal bowls same size, metal only, or 1 can be a little smaller, put each clove in a bowl( the bigger one if not same size) with 1 hand on top bowl & 1 on bottom like a dome, shake vigorously for 1 minute, all the skin/peel will come off & works like a charm pal, I do it all the time as we eat a lot of garlic. You nailed this recipe brother

[@stephenwhiting2641]

Looks legit but here in Detroit the pepperoni goes under the cheese and the sauce on top before the bake.

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Really - I have never seen the roni under the cheese on dsp. I have seen the sauce both ways...before and after the bake. I will have to try it this way. Cheers Stephen!

[@zachbarber3211]

As a detroiter, this looks good but it's way too thin. You gotta put the ball in the pan, let that rise a bit and soften, then spread it out all the way and make sure it's pressed into the corners, then let rise at room temperature until the dough is 2/3 of the pan high. Then refrigerate for a couple hours then use. I used to run a detroit style pizza place in metro detroit btw

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

Thanks zack! I over proofed this dough and was hoping it would still work once I started filming.... should have made fresh dough. This dough was from a Friday where it proofed all day at room temp then had to throw it in the fridge and made it on a Tuesday. What kind of sauce did use when you had the shop?

[@zachbarber3211]

@@WhiteThunderBBQ it was a Jet's Pizza which is a chain, so we just used their name brand canned sauce corporate had produced, sorry I'm not too sure what it's contents were. Better detroit style places use sauce that has a very slight sweetness above what jets uses though in my opinion.

[@stevelogan5475]

Nate, btw, I know you have a family & you are going to have to make 2 or 3 of these cause I can eat that one myself, lol, seriously

[@WhiteThunderBBQ]

only have one pan :-P Thanks Steve!

[@stevelogan5475]

@@WhiteThunderBBQ lol, well Nate my good friend, you are going to have to buy 2 more pans or keep making them in the same pan til you have 3 pies, lol, if my wife & I ever get up that way, I'll buy the 2 extra pans for you brother, lol, worth it to me just to have 1 pie for myself, lol, you & yours have a great weekend & stay safe, God bless.
