Time 2h45m

Yield 1 Pizza, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fast rising yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 tablespoon olive oil, for oiling the bowl
1 cup marinara sauce
16 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese

Steps:

Pizza Dough:.
Put the flour, salt, yeast and sugar in a food processor with a metal blade attachment and pulse to combine. Add 1 cup warm water, then process until a ball forms, about 30 seconds (if a ball does not form, add a bit more flour). Process for another 30 seconds, then roll into a tight ball and place in a lightly oiled bowl. Proof in a warm spot until the dough doubles in size, about 2 hours.
For The Pizza:.
Position an oven rack in the bottom of the oven and preheat to the highest temperature setting, 500 to 550 degrees F.
Pour the oil in a large, square metal cake pan (or, ideally, an authentic Detroit-style pizza pan). Put the Pizza Dough in the pan and gently stretch it out to fit so the dough reaches the corners. If the dough is being temperamental, set it aside for another 10 minutes to relax and try again.
Bake dough for 5 minutes.
Remove dough from oven and add sauce.
Bake an additional 5 minutes.
Remove from oven and add desired toppings.
Bake 5 more minutes.
Broil until it reached desired doneness.
