Detroit Style Pizza

**Ingredients**

**Dough:**

 * 300g (about 2 ¼ cups) bread flour

 * 5g (1 tsp) instant yeast

 * 9g (1 ½ tsp) kosher salt

 * 220g (about 1 cup) warm water

 * Olive oil (for greasing)

**Toppings:**

 * Sliced Muenster cheese

 * 12 oz low-moisture mozzarella cheese, cut into ½-inch cubes

 * 1 cup pizza sauce

 * Pepperoni (optional)

**Instructions**

 1. **Mix:** In a stand mixer bowl, combine the flour, yeast, and salt. Add the water and mix on low speed until a rough ball forms. Turn off the mixer and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

 2. **Knead & Rise:** Mix on medium-low speed with the dough hook for 10 minutes until the dough becomes smooth and silky. Form it into a tight ball, cover the bowl, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours (until doubled in size).

 3. **First Stretch:** Generously oil the bottom and sides of your Dutch oven. Put the pizza dough in and stretch it toward the sides. Cover and let rest for half an hour.

 4. **Second Stretch & Top:** Stretch the dough again so it reaches the edges. Line the perimeter of the Dutch oven with the sliced Muenster cheese so it rests against the sides for a crispy edge. Press the cubed mozzarella cheese evenly across the rest of the dough, add pepperoni if using, and spoon the sauce in thick stripes across the top.

 5. **Bake:** Cook for 30 minutes in the Dutch oven with 14 briquettes on the bottom and 30 briquettes on top.
