Similar to focaccia, Detroit style pizza has a light, spongy base, which is topped with layers of oozing cheese and salty pepperoni. The sweetened tomato sauce is added in three long stripes, as is traditional, and the result, baked in a pan until golden, bubbling, with crispy cheese edges, is delicious. In Detroit, Wisconsin brick cheese is used but can be hard to find elsewhere, so we have used a mix of mozzarella and cheddar to achieve the same rich and tangy flavour. For best results, use a pizza stone and reduce the cooking time by 5 minutes.
