The story of Detroit’s Buddy’s Pizza, the “original” Detroit-style pizza, is that the owner used his mom’s Sicilian pizza recipe, but placed the dough in rectangular blue steel pans — these were “scrap” pans from the nearby auto plants. Add dough and dimpling stretch into the pan. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes and stretch once again until the dough reaches the edges of the pan. Cover the pan, and allow the dough to rest and relax for 15 to 20 minutes before stretching it again. Repeat the rest one more time, if necessary, until the dough fills the bottom of the pan. Pepperoni is often placed directly on the crust, and other toppings may go directly on top of the cheese with the cooked sauce optionally as the final layer, applied in dollops [13] or in "racing stripes", two or three lines of sauce. [2] [3] [8] [16] [29] Some recipes call for the sauce to be added after the pizza comes out of the oven. [3] The style is sometimes referred to as "red top" because the sauce is the final topping.

I used cubed aged provolone that I found at my local Italian market, but if you can’t find, no worries, just replace it with more mozzarella.
