These two are a couple of my first Detroit pies. Let me know what you think. I'm looking for some constructive thought if you have anything.

Notes:
• 50/50 Bread/White Khorasan
• Instant dry yeast
• Pizza Bible recipe
• 3 day cold ferment
• 2.5 hr at room temp prior to baking
• Conventional Oven at 480 F

I'm going to try 100% White Khorasan and increase salt% from 2% to 3%.

Other than being two or three times as thick as a DS, it looks really good. A Buddy's pizza is about 1/2 inch thick, about 300g for an 8X10 and around 525g for a 10X14.

Ah, interesting! I was doing dough size research here a few weeks ago and I kept seeing 4.5-6 g or so of dough per sq^inch. I did this dough at 342 g for the 8x10 size as I tried to go for thinner. I let it sit at room temperature for too long, though, having to help my kids with a bunch of stuff led to that.

I will try out the 300g size next time. Thanks!

I use 3.75 which is where Buddy's and Detroit Style Pizza Co are at. The bake and edge on yours is perfect!

What pan did you use and how long did you bake it?

I agree. Thick as heck but beautiful in every way.
