Ingredients

• 240 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 180 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Pecorino Romano cheese
• 200 grams Tomato sauce
• 100 grams Pepperoni slices
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.

Step 2

Add warm water and 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the dry mixture. Stir until a sticky dough forms.

Step 3

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until it has doubled in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 5

Generously oil a 9x13 inch baking pan (or a specialized Detroit style pizza pan) with the remaining olive oil.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, transfer it to the prepared pan. Use your fingers to gently stretch the dough to the edges of the pan. Cover and let it rest for an additional 15 minutes.

Step 7

Spread the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, ensuring the cheese reaches the edges of the pan for a crispy cheese crust.

Step 8

Evenly spoon the tomato sauce in three lines across the cheese layer.

Step 9

Top with pepperoni slices, distributing them evenly over the pizza.

Step 10

Sprinkle the Pecorino Romano cheese over the entire pizza, followed by the dried oregano and garlic powder.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven on the middle rack for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the edges are well browned.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Use a spatula to lift the pizza from the pan and transfer to a cutting board.

Step 13

Cut into square slices and serve hot. Enjoy your Gluten-Free Detroit Style Pizza!
