Instructions

1Preheat the oven to 450°F and arrange a rack in the middle.
2Divide the pizza dough into 2 balls and roll them out to 1/4 inch thick. Transfer to 2 baking sheets.
3Spread the crushed tomatoes evenly on the dough. Distribute the fontina, mozzarella slices, crumbled Gorgonzola, and onion slices evenly over the pizzas.
4Bake the first pizza until the underside of the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately brush the crust with a little olive oil (this gives it a nice sheen and a bit of extra flavor). Sprinkle with half the Parmesan and serve while hot. Repeat with the second pizza.

5 Must-Have Kitchen Tools to Make a Detroit-Style Pizza

Video from Kitchen Essentials

In this episode of Kitchen Essentials, we visit chef Matt Hyland, at his celebrated pizza restaurant Emmy Squared in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. The specialty at Emmy is Detroit-Style pizza, so Matt talks us through his essential tools to make these pies. We start with the squared pan that has roots in the automotive industry, followed by the flat-bottom ladle he uses to create stripes with the sauce. We then look at the clamp the chef uses to bring the pizza out of the oven, finish with his trusty pizza cutter, and a cooling rack, essential for keeping the pies crunchy.
