Ingredients

  • 200 g bread flour
  • 50 g whole wheat flour
  • 5 g salt
  • 4 g instant yeast
  • 175 g water
  • 15 g olive oil (for the pizza pan)
  • 800 g (28 oz) fresh or canned tomatoes
  • 15 g Butter
  • 15 g Olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves
  • 1/4 onion
  • Salt to taste
  • Basil (at the end)
  • 175 g Mozzarella cheese
  • Calabrian Chiles, minced
  • Sprinkle of oregano

Directions

  • Add the dough ingredients to a bowl except for the olive oil, and mix until a sticky dough forms. Set a bowl over top and let rest for 15 minutes.
  • Add the sauce ingredients to a saucepot and place on low heat with a lid over top. Simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Back at the dough, stretch and knead for about 5 minutes until it passes the windowpane test. (Tear off a piece and stretch it until very thin and translucent without tearing.) Set the bowl over the top and let rise for 30 minutes.
  • Stir the sauce and remove the lid, let simmer for another 30 minutes.
  • Turn off the sauce and blend with an immersion blender.
  • Add the chopped basil and adjust the seasoning to taste. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Get out a Detroit-style pizza pan (10″×14″) or quarter baking sheet and add the olive oil. Toss the dough in and stretch to the edges until it starts to spring back.
  • Let rest for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 F (232 C).
  • Top the pizza by laying the chiles and oregano down first and follow with the shredded mozzarella.
  • Spoon over the sauce in 3 strips.
  • Bake for about 20 minutes until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is bubbly.
  • Slide the cooked pizza onto a cooling rack for 5 minutes before slicing and enjoying.
