I'm from NJ. In 1974, they passed a law that every strip mall of 4 or more stores HAD TO HAVE a pizza place. I lived in a small town and within a 5 mile radius was at least 20 pizzerias, including an old fashioned wood-burning oven at Felicia's. You could always get round and rectangular "Sicilian", but I began seeing a new take on the Sicilian, called "Grandma's Pizza. Similar, but different and, oh yeah, delicious.
Ladies, I, the son of a masterful cook-My Mom, have had visions of me cooking the most wonderful home-made bread imaginable. My enthusiasm is tempered by my desire to master the skill/art of cooking homemade pizza-mine is the only mouth to feed here, at the moment; your edition of this recipe in your list of topics to cover is well appreciated. Thank you!
This recipe is perfect as written. Easy, looks just like the video, kid friendly, crazy delicious, and surprisingly filling.
I grew up on Buddy's pizza! I can't get Detroit style anywhere near where I live now. You guys have made my year with this recipe/technique!!! Thanks from a displaced motor-baby!!!
They make it look easy, and I've got the pans all seasoned proper. Gonna try this over Christmas Break. Might order up some Wisconsin Brick Cheese and pay for the shipping....
Neat! Have you tried making this yet? I really want one of those pans!!! I want to try this out for sure.
It really does look like a Buddy's pizza. They could have added another layer to the madness with pepperoni, which would be the first layer below the cheese.
Eddie T they’re getting ready to open up Buddy’s in five more states and even airports.
so how did the recipi turn out?!?!? anyone here try it yet, and if so did you follow exactly?
I made the America's Test Kitchen recipe. Excellent step by step directions. I added cooked Italian sausage and chopped bell pepper to the sauce mixture. I also allowed a 90 min. final rise using rapid rise yeast. Wow, how scrumptious, crunchy cheese edges and crust. No blue steel pan...😊. I will make this again !
Why no blue steel pan ?
Made this yesterday and it was so delicious! Everyone absolutely loved it. Came out exactly as in the video too. So simple and so good. Definitely a keeper!!!
My husband is a displaced Detroiter living in DC. His nickname as a child was Buddy and we go to Buddy’s for pizza whenever we visit his family. I made this and he was very impressed. I ordered the Wisconsin brick cheese thru Amazon and a pan too.
What brick cheese brand / type did you get? I used Jack and it was great!
@@XavierKatzoneI live in Wisconsin, the absolute best is a place called Widmers in Theresa, WI. Not only is it probably amazing on your pizza its my favorite cheese period as a lifelong Wisconsin resident. I just eat it sliced cold. You want the MILD brick which tastes like heaven. Aged brick tastes similar to Limburger and smells horrid (my opinion as I dont like smelly cheese).
We have tried several detroit style doughs and THIS IS IT!!!! Tyvm. Finally. We use whole milk mozzarella.
I forgot to say thanks for giving mixer times. The first few times, I made the dough by hand. I tried my mixer last week but couldn't find how long to mix it. So thanks for giving times in this video.
To say that this is my "go to" pizza recipe is an understatement. Friday night pizza has been a tradition in my house for years. I love making bread and working with yeast when baking, but always struggled to find a pizza dough that was just right. Found it! Over the years my family has gotten smaller and this recipe makes just enough pizza for me and my friends. Since I like my crust on the thick side, it's really perfect. I don't really bother with takeout pies on Fridays anymore...doesn't even compare. Thanks ATK!
Also this dough works great because you can mix the dough the same day you want to make pizza. No complicated baker's math, preferments or overnight resting in the refrigerator. Win!
Went to the real buddy’s and loved it. They ship all over the country too. I splurged and had a few pizzas shipped. So good!
To make it even BETTER.... Don't put the sauce on when you bake it in the oven. Warm the sauce up on the stove and after you take it out and it sets for a few minutes, then spoon the sauce over it. That way it won't sink into the dough and it stays thick through the whole pizza! There are so many good places for Detroit Style Pizza in the Detroit area. My personal favorites is Loui's! Thanks for the video!
Loui’s is the best!!!!! Love that restaurant. ❤️
and at louies they don't bake the pizza with the sauce on it?
Great idea!
no.. thats terrible. The whole best part of a proper made detroit style pizza is the crust that forms from the tomato and cheese and bread. It makes it sweet and crisp and crunchy. If you spoon the sauce over after thats just gross
@@teklife They absolutely do bake it with the sauce on it and then they give you extra sauce if you ask that you can spoon over. The trick is you add sauce after about 20 minutes
I started making Detroit Style Pizza a few months ago. It is so delicious. My problem is I could never make it as in this video, lol. Because I have to have my onions, green peppers, mushrooms ground beef, pepperoni, ham. Each bite is absolutely wonderful!
I had been doing this recipe for some times now and every time it's comes as delicious as it looks, simply the best!
My husband just made this today. I made the sauce and simmered it a little bit. We used provolone cheese and it was delicious. Thanks ATK.
Nobody beats Detroit Style Pizza! The secret is out. 🤩
Finally a recipe that is true to the original Detroit style Pizza
I've made this maybe ten times. It's simple to make and always a winner.
I'll make this because I love all manner of pizza. I prefer a very thin crust, but there's nothing wrong with thick.
When in Detroit feel free to try Loui’s in Hazel Park or Cloverleaf in Roseville for Detroit style pizza. Buddy’s is nice but these two places deserve attention too as they were partners with Buddy’s years ago before the big fight.
Oh man. I don’t really know how to say this kindly, but Cloverleaf is in Eastpointe, not Roseville.
Steve Marsden that it is. Still East Detroit in my mind.
Loui's get's my vote. Don't forget to have the salad. The dressing is worth the trip in itself.
Oohh I want to see an doco on the story of Buddy's
Thanks Neil! I’m now making a road trip!
This is my favorite dough. We get this from Jets Pizza in Knoxville TN. This is the best.
I’m from Detroit area living in West Michigan they just opened up a buddies, but I used a recipe and it turned out amazing thank you wish I could send you a pic
I bought the pan ($60), and Brick Cheese was available at my local specialty grocer. I added some grocery store pepperoni. It was fantastic! Been in the Detroit area my whole life. In fact, I had my wedding rehearsal dinner at Buddy's in Livonia. Buddy's, Cloverleaf, and Loui's are all nearby. Loui's in Hazel Park is by far the best Detroit style pizza anywhere. Named #1 in the Midwest!
Fantastic recipe! Made this twice now and feel way more confident making fantastic tasting and texture pizza! Kids and I love the results. Thanks for sharing this video!
I will be making this later this weekend. I also love the History of the Detroit Pizza!! Thank you for the video!!
Amazing looking pizza. I had this style of pizza recently at Field & Fire Bakery in Grand Rapids Michigan. One of the most delicious pizza's I've ever had.
Thank you again for such a fantastic video. I've made this pizza many times per your incredible instructions and it's flawless every time! I put many more items on mine and enjoy it so much! BTW, I was born in Detroit in 1951, but I've lived in California for 40+ years and I can not thank you enough! :-)
You can simply keep kneading in the mixer until it clears the bottom. Cheese next to the crust adds the oil part of the cheese to help protect the crust from absorbing any water from the toppings. If you want a bunch of toppings, lower the temp a bit and bake longer, or, pre bake just the crust for 12 minutes, top, then finish baking to your taste..
Great recipe, the pan I use is a Lloyds pizza pan, its NOT a non-stick and it gives a great crust. It is rated as high as 700 degrees so it is great for high temp.
If there’s anyone here in Southern California there’s a Detroit style pizza shop in West Hollywood. It’s called D Town Pizzeria. I’ve had it a few times now and it’s excellent!
Over in W H'wood I stayed a couple of blocks from Detroit street. It's funny because I just got off a plane from there.
You can buy the real pans on line. I did. Also, I believe the sauce goes on after the bake (IMHO). Austin, TX residents can now get true Detroit style pizza at VIA 313.
Excellent.! I just bought my first Detroit pizza.... Now.. I'll be making it on my own.... WONDERFUL!
First time I've ever heard of this kind of pizza from over here in New Zealand and you really had me salivating! Can't wait to make it.
Best, most consistent pizza I've made at home. Well done, guys and wow! Thank you ! : )
I also use monterey jack but do a 50% blend with white sharp cheddar. This helps mimic the tang of the brick cheese.
Thats what i needed, i dont like thin crust pizza, i want not only a thicker fluffy crust, but a good flavor too with the herbs or whatever. Thanks.
I live 2 minutes down the street from Buddy’s Pizza. It’s always packed every single night!
Damn! It's that good?
Lucky you!
Lol yeah it’s really well known around here:)
I used to go to Shields' when we'd come out of a Tigers game at old Tiger Stadium. Shields' is Detroit style as well but not as famous as Buddy's. I always loved Shields'.
Oh man haven’t heard that one in a while...Tiger Stadium! Ohhh the memories haha. I’ve never been to Shields but definitely heard the name. Will have to give it a try next time I’m over that way:)
Made this today and OMG soo friggin good!!🤤🤤 I over did it with the olive oil but didnt seem to hurt the final product. Thank you!!
I’ve never made dough before. Was it difficult?
@@windermere2330 so easy! Idk why I was so afraid?
Made this a few days ago and it was amazingly delicious! It’s thanksgiving eve and I gotta go, time to make it again for family showing up 🔜!! 💯🍕💯
This one and your chicago thin crust recipe are regulars in my household. soooo delicious
Just cooked one up tonight and ATE IT - MMMMMM! ❤️❤️❤️ Now that's a REAL KEEPER! 👍👍👍
I’m so excited to try this recipe! I never wanna make a whole pizza at home because the crust seem so bland, but this one looks very flavorful crispy and delicious! Thank you for sharing and thanks to Buddy’s for sharing as well.
Anthony Flores did you make it Anthony? If so how was it?
Detroit style pizza is where it's at!
Amen. New York and Chicago are over in the corner about to the throw punches. Meanwhile, we're busy eatin' the good stuff. 👍👍
@@greg_216 masterfully said my man!
It’s my new addiction!
For the autolyse & the pan rest, a damp kitchen towel would work wonderfully. Let's all try to bring back all the "old fashioned" methods that did not rely on plastic...plates or towels to cover a bowl of resting whatever, for instance. Thanks for a good recipe. Will be trying it soon!
You could also cover the dough with a wedding gown.
I use the cut off legs from my bellbottoms!
@@wiibaron you still have bellbottoms??? do you have the Britannia ones with the patch work sides????
Ok boomer
Right on James Lee! I was going to write the same thing about using plastic, cause we are filling up the oceans with it but you beat me to it! Great job! and 'great minds" ;-)
I own four 8x10 Detroit pans from the Detroit Pizza Co. Good prices and I used their Pre-mixed pizza dough good stuff. King Arthur flour has a good recipe too!!
Scott Roberts I’ve been to that shop in St. Clair Shores, MI. Very good pizza! The owner is a great guy as well.
Yum!! I love Buddy’s pizza!!
I tried it for the first time thinking it’s not going to be all that. Was I ever wrong! It’s so delicious!
There is a pizza supply house at 14 Mile and Groesbeck in frayser they carry those blue steel pans sorry I forgot the name of the place you can probably look it up
Roselli's
Growing up on old school Little Caesers, I do like the sauce under, even if it isn't the trad. Detroit way. But this does like amazingly good.
I agree with most everything except 2 things. I understood from someone who worked there that they used granulated garlic not fresh. Also cheese was cubed.. other than that this recipe is spot on!
Why cooking spray the pan if you're going to oil it?
Thank you for the lesson about waiting to add salt to the dough.
I always learn something from ATK, even when it is a repeat.
Scott Williamson seems like the olive is more for flavor and so it kinda fries the dough and it gives it a very nice color. The cooking spray is mostly so the pizza doesn’t stick. Two different applications for the oils. I wondered about it when I watched the first time, but he explains it
@@anaalvarado954 Yep, and the spray oil helps keep the olive oil from burning, just like you add a bit of oil to butter to keep it from burning frying things like pierogi or other dumplings.
It's because they are using a non stick pan, the oil beads up.
Try using butter flavored Crisco, you're welcome.
@@bensebaugh6017 Bingo! They did cooking spray + oil on a video for oven fries too. Helped the oil spread evenly
I made it without the spray. Sides stuck a bit. Next time I'll use the spray in add to the olive oil.
Oh! That looks delicious! Superb!
Yes!
I use a 9 inch cake pan. Plus I raise the dough in the pan. ( after making it fit ) it's a home style fluffy pizza.
I use a roughly 9 inch Lodge carbon steel pan; it crisps up the edges nicely. ;)
I use a 10" spatula
Nice! I'll probably use my 12" cast iron skillet. I've got a legit blue steel pizza pan on my list, but they're like thirty five bucks, so for now I'll make due.
Excellent recipe! I have access to Brick cheese so used it. Definitely will make again
I've tried this two ways now. First with Jack cheese--pretty good. Then with Wisconsin Brick--soo much better. Get your delis to stock it wherever you live.
I made this recipe, and it was really good! 🍕
Julia makes me laugh outloud at least once an episode. "you gotta know someone!"
This is wholesome family entertainment that actually teaches you how to cook. Kudos to ATK for continuing to support old fashioned American values.
Wow it so simple, definitely going to make it.
I make this ALL the time!! Nothing short of DELISH!! I’ve even used my glass Pyrex... Always Yummy!!
Interesting...how'd the pyrex work out? I considered it, but thought it might not retain enough heat for those nice dark cheese edges and thorough dough cooking.
@@Aaron48219 produces a great crispy cheese edge...though I haven’t made this in a while... my newest kick is foccacia bread
@@costello357 Thanks, appreciate it. Waiting for my Kitchenaid Artisan to arrive so I can make one. I've made pizza with the kids before, but not this kind. I live in Detroit, and while Buddy's is great, they're very pricey and nobody around can really compete.
Made it tonight. It was good. Would like to try it with the brick cheese.
Or pepperjack...?
i always order mine with extra sauce, but to each his own. Can't wait to try the recipe. I just ordered two pans... this is too much work for just one pizza. make one, freeze one.
When it comes to food I am a purist so I order brick cheese in 6 lb loafs and vacuum packed 12 ounce pieces and freeze them for pizza. I also freeze the excess sauce so that I don't have to make it every time as well. In my opinion the best substitute isn't Monteray Jack or that horrid concoction of mozzarella and feta I have seen elsewhere. I say use farmers cheese or Muenster. Brick cheese taste just like farmers cheese and is the same thing just pressed into bricks. Muenster is the closest in taste and texture after farmers cheese. It melts the same way as muenster too. I would use a bit more oil for the crust and recommend a pizza stone or a steel.
Buddy's is the best!
Love love love!!!!
I’m a Long Time Detroiter. 30 Years, but stayed in Wayne County afterwards. Buddies is the BEST PIZZA. Now they have The Best Gluten Free Pizza. Better then anywhere! That would be something a lot of people need, if on a restricted diet. Buddies is the BEST!🏆🥇
...if you like a just a thick crispy bread that is a buttery oil mess and not really about the tomatoes where it needs to be!! :O
Julia is tops!
Omg, make this!!! 100% perfect, although just find the brick cheese (ask at the deli) and put back to back pepperoni on the dough. My Gahd perfect!
Sorry for The typos. Just make this!
I made this last night. The dough, sauce and directions were perfecf! So good - loved the crunchy edges🍷
Was it hard to make? I’m considering making one as well.
Wow!!! Absolutely delicious Pizza!! So easy to make and worth skipping ordering take-out.
PSA: I've heard Little Cesars' Deep Dish (Detroit Style) is actually a pretty good example of this style. I haven't had it in years but from what I remember it's actually not bad, unlike their standard pizzas, which aren't great. Also, you really can't go wrong with Jet's if it's nearby.... The whole racing stripes thing is kind of unique - most Detroit Deep Dish is fully sauced with toppings at the very top of the pizza. I see a lot of videos claiming that the toppings go under the cheese like Chicago style.... Some places MAYBE do that but the vast majority put the toppings on top like standard pizza in my experience.
Anyways, thanks for coming to my pizza Ted Talk.
No. Not so much, and it's sad, because they're a Detroit company, and know Buddy's, and Cloverleaf (old Buddy's/Shield's folks' spinoff), but just fall short. A hint of Detroit style, but just cheaped out.
Little Caesars pizza sauce is too spicy and causes me to have major heartburn even though I take Prilosec daily. Pizza Hut's is way too greasy, and Domino's is not a true Sicilian or deep dish pizza, imo. Dayton, Ohio's Flying Pizza's Sicillian pizza has sliced onions on top of the sauce and under the cheese, which I won't eat because of the onions. Jets is good when I've found it, but the best deep dish pizza is Godfather's, which is Chicago style. We recently got a pizza stone with a wooden peel and have started making our own pizzas on it.
Only certain toppings go own first then the cheese then the sauce, pepperoni always go under the cheese, and the cheese always go under the sauce, inside out pizza.
@@Avacarho agreed little caesars sauce is trash . way to acidic
@@ML-xx9kc jets uses way to much sauce compared to buddys
@3:07 she says "that is an autolyse" usually you would not have added the yeast yet. At least that's what I was taught, autolyse is usually just flour and water mix and let it autolyse for the time period you wish. Maybe I'm wrong though. Pizza looks like it came out great.
This pizza looks so good. I look this up because cafe Pomodoro in Delaware makes a delicious Detroit pizza, but it’s a bit different then buddy’s but yummy.
I really wish you guys would add at lest 3 toppings to the pizza. Do toppings change the cooking time or temp?
YESSSSS! Detroit Favorite great pizza will absolutely give your recipe a whirl lol Detroit Mamma
Love these recipe videos. Thanks
Obviously that looks amazing 👏
Buddy's is 4 miles away from me. BRB, no need to make this. 🍕🚗
You’re lucky!! That place is so good!
That’s right. That’s right. That’s right!
I love my blue steel pan. I place a teflon sheet in the bottom.
Wow. Impressive
Well I'm from Detroit and lived right near a Buddy's for long time. Growing up we never called it Detroit style, just Buddy's. (:
Thanks for a great video! I have a question on the pan, will it work just as well if I use an iron skillet? Best wishes!
Probably not. The skillet will take a long time to heat up and while doing so, allows moisture to create steam at the contact point between the pan and crust. The magic of this pan is that it heats up fast enough to go from cold to crisping without letting the crust to collect steam.
@@unclejoe1917 it is white steal, yes ?
Words I never want to hear," The sauce will be used sparingly."
Do they ever share a link to where I can buy that pan?
So good. Such an underrated pizza.
Excellent pizza. Have made this twice but can’t seem to get the bottom crust to crisp. Will keep trying 🍕
dude. mad respect. take off your rings no shade, but gold is soft.
I gotta have one of those pizza pans!!!

That looks good!!
Can you make and freeze this dough
Excellent!
Might I suggest suggest that you put some extra cheese in the corners of the pan and a bit of ground chilli peppers in the sauce? In case you wanted to know know ...
Looks DELICIOUS. What temperature do you cook it at for 15 minutes ?
500° F, they said.
It's good that I live an hour away from Buddys or I would be there every day!
I live in the Chicago area so yea I can get Wisconsin brick cheese. But my question is which color? One is golden yellow while the other is white. Does it matter? Is one more genuinely than the other?
Buddys is my favorite pizza!
Not a fan of pizza but this looks really good. Its the crunch thats appealing to me
I've never heard anybody say "not a fan of pizza". I don't know what to make of this.
@@18deadmonkeys its good. I just dont like eating stuff loaded with dairy i guess
Crunchy pizza is my favorite to eat!
Looks wonderful! Where is the exact dough recipe?
5:06 Sauce
Someone mentioned Pepperoni between dough and cheese... I wonder if that is for any toppings ?
Yes if you click on the recipe it mentions that
@@kaykay4832 I saw that after I posted the comment, thanks.
