Instructions

  • 1On the Smart Oven® Pizzaiolo with the interface magnet in place, press and hold the deck temp dial and turn the top temp dial from off to 350°F, then release the deck temp dial. The manual mode light will flash 3 times, then stay on to indicate it is in Manual mode. Turn the Deck Temp to 550°F, the Top Temp to 350°F and the Top Control to Even heat. This can take up to 20 minutes.
  • 2With the par baked dough in the Breville pizza pan, place shredded cheddar around edge of dough. The dough should have shrunk slightly from the initial bake and will provide room for the cheese. Tuck the cheddar cheese into the edge gently. Cover whole pizza with shredded mozzarella. Place pepperoni and bacon jam on pizza.
    Tip: Quantities of toppings are approximate and up to the individual. Detroit inspired pizzas can take as little or as much topping as you like.
  • 3Once preheated, cook for 9 minutes. The pizza will be done when the edges look caramelized brown and have begun to solidify.
  • 4Remove from oven and carefully loosen the caramelized cheese edges, then lift the pizza out of the pan onto a wire rack for cooling. This prevents the bottom from getting soggy.
  • 5Cut the pizza. Top each slice with the tomatoes. Pipe the ricotta and sprinkle the pecorino romano across the tops of the sauce.
  • 6Sprinkle with basil and drizzle Mike’s Hot Honey across the top of the whole pizza.
