Each city boasts its own iconic pizza: Rome with the pizza al taglio, Naples with the Neapolitan pizza, and Detroit with its thick, airy pies featuring high edges. Our take on Detroit-style pizza, crafted in a rectangular pan, is hand-pressed, topped with tomato sauce and mozzarella (traditionally made with Wisconsin brick cheese), and finished with a generous layer of cheese fondue for a golden, wonderfully crispy crust.

For an even more extraordinary twist, 1001 Fondues offers a daring variation with a hint of spirits and luxurious terroir cheese in its gin-infused fondue! Indulge in the pinnacle of pleasure!
Ingredients
  • 1 fondue Chic ! au gin by 1001 Fondues, 350 g (12 oz.), diced
  • 4 ml (1/4 tbsp.) traditional active dry yeast
  • 5 ml (1 tsp.) honey
  • 200 ml (6 oz + 1 tbsp.) lukewarm water (30 °C/85 °F)
  • 330 ml + 170 ml (1 1/3 + 2/3 cup) flour
  • 3 ml (1/2 tsp.) salt
  • Olive oil
  • 250 ml (1 cup) tomato pizza sauce
  • 250 ml (1 cup) mozzarella cheese, cubed
  • 60 g (2 oz) pepperoni, sliced
Preparation
  1. Prepare the sourdough the day before. In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in water. Add 330 ml (1 1/3 cups) of flour and mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms. Pour into an airtight container and let rest for 2 hours at room temperature. Refrigerate and let rest for 18 to 24 hours.
  2. Place the sourdough in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the remaining 170 ml (2/3 cup) of flour and salt and knead for 10 minutes.
  3. Generously brush a deep baking sheet, approx. 23 x 33 cm (9 x 13 in.), with olive oil. Place the dough ball on the baking sheet, cover with a damp cloth, and leave to rest for 1 hourat room temperature. Then press the dough with your fingers to cover the bottom of the baking sheet.
  4. Preheat the oven to 290 °C (550 °F).
  5. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough. Top with cubed mozzarella and pepperoni slices.
  6. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the pizza is golden and the edges of the dough are crispy.

*For optimal flavour, use high-quality ingredients like homemade pizza sauce and artisanal pepperoni.

*Turn this pizza into a vegetarian version by adding grilled vegetables.
