Product Information

If you know that your oven doesn't heat much from the bottom, or if you make the recipe and find the base is not quite as crisp as you like, you have a couple options. So when you see marks on your pan like the photo below do not worry - this is totally normal and y our pan is the best performing pan available. Remove the pizza from the oven, run a spatula around the edges to loosen it from the pan, and let it rest for 10 minutes, or until you can handle it. Remove the parbaked crust from the pan and let it cool upside down on the rack — this is another tip from Christy Alia, which she learned from her grandfather.

Stretch the dough to the corners, cover with cling film and leave to proof for a further 30 minutes. If your oven doesn't cook well from the bottom, consider placing the pizza directly on the oven floor. And that’s possible because the quality of the metal used for “me-too” versions is inferior to the metal that LloydPans uses for its pizza disks. I wanted slightly more dough, so I increased the dough by 1/8th and I find that my dough doesn’t shrink in the oven if I only grease the bottom and not the sides of the pan. The real difference comes down to the amount of dough in the pan, and I have been meaning to revisit this recipe one last time to align with my latest recipe.This is a specialty item for sure, but once you try this recipe, I can guarantee that you'll be using it with regularity. Think of it sort of like converting a Lego spaceship into a castle: It's easiest if you break it down completely before starting to rebuild. Just dump the ingredients in, set the machine running until a ball of dough forms (that usually takes about 15 seconds), then let that ball of dough ride around the blade for 30 seconds longer. Influenced by square Sicilian-style pizza, Detroit-Style Pizza consistently impresses pizza lovers due to its unique layering structure and stunning presentation.

The sauce is applied last (over the cheese and pepperoni) in dollops or in two or three “racing” stripes.As noted above, this is great for convenience — it’s so nice having a nearly assembled pizza waiting in the fridge — but it’s also beneficial for the dough: the longer dough ferments, the more gas bubbles are produced, and when those gas bubbles hit the hot oven, they expand, creating a light, porous crust.
