Instructions
Creating Detroit Style Dill Pickle Pizza is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps to make your own delicious pizza:
1. Make the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Gradually add warm water and olive oil, mixing until a dough forms.
2. Knead the Dough: Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
3. Let It Rise: Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
4. Prepare the Pizza Pan: Grease a rectangular baking pan with olive oil to prevent sticking. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
5. Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and stretch it into the prepared pan, pressing it into the corners.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.
7. Layer the Pickles: Arrange the dill pickle slices on top of the cheese, covering evenly.
8. Add Sauce: Spoon the pizza sauce over the pickles, spreading it gently to cover.
9. Sprinkle Dill: Add the dill weed on top for an extra burst of flavor.
10. Bake the Pizza: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
11. Cool and Slice: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares.
