Description

Experience the irresistible flavor of Detroit Style Pepperoni Pizza with a crispy crust and cheesy goodness – a perfect homemade treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1 pound Pizza Dough
  • 8 ounces Thick-Sliced Pepperoni
  • 1 cup Spicy Marinara
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
  • 8 ounces Low-Moisture Whole-Milk Mozzarella
  • 8 ounces Monterey Jack

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dough: If making your dough from scratch, allow it to rise for about 1-2 hours until doubled in size, or follow the package instructions if using store-bought.
  2. Grease Pan: Generously coat a 9×13-inch baking pan with olive oil to ensure a perfectly crispy crust.
  3. Shape Dough: Gently press the dough into the greased pan, stretching it to reach the edges.
  4. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) so it’s hot and ready for baking.
  5. Assemble Pizza: Spread the spicy marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle the cubed mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheese, then layer the pepperoni slices on top.
  6. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling beautifully.
  7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
