E2E Test Dough Recipe
Chicago Sliced Mozzarella Layer
Sliced ¼-inch slabs forming a sealed sheet on the bottom of the dough — the structural trick that keeps deep dish from going soggy.
Detroit Brick Cheese Blend
Wisconsin brick cubed to the edges of the pan — the only ingredient that fully captures Detroit. Includes a substitute blend for when brick isn't available.
Fresh Mozzarella Prep
For Neapolitan and finishing Roman pies. Torn, lightly salted, and drained 45–60 minutes — or the pizza becomes soup.
Block Mozzarella Prep
The universal cheese prep for American-style pizzas. Whole-milk low-moisture mozzarella, in a block, grated fresh.
Raw San Marzano Sauce
Three ingredients, no cooking. The sauce on every legitimate Neapolitan pizza in the world.
Classic Cooked Pizza Sauce
Lightly cooked, garlic and herb forward, balanced sweetness. The Italian-American workhorse.
Detroit Thick-Sweet Sauce
Distinctly sweet, deeply reduced, racing-striped on top after the bake.
Tavern-Style Paste-Heavy Sauce
Tomato-paste forward, herby, slightly spicy. Concentrated so the cracker crust stays crisp.
Chicago Deep Dish Chunky Sauce
Barely cooked, deliberately chunky. Hand-crushed whole tomatoes; the long bake does the cooking.
Cast Iron Pan Dough
The Kenji recipe. No knead, no mixer, no fuss. Easiest serious dough on the site.
Detroit Pan Dough
Focaccia-style dough pressed into an oiled steel pan and cold-fermented in place. High hydration drives the airy crumb.
Focaccia Pizza Dough
No kneading, no fancy technique. Stir, fold once, let the fridge do the work.
Calzone & Stromboli Dough
A slightly drier dough than New York (62% vs 64%) so the seal holds during baking and the bottom does not go gummy under the filling.
Roman Al Taglio Dough
The Bonci dough. Four stretch-and-folds replace kneading. Wildly open crumb, audibly crispy bottom.
Sicilian / Grandma Dough
One dough, two finishes. Short proof in the pan = Grandma; long proof = Sicilian.
Tavern Dough
Lowest hydration on the site. Cold butter cut in like pie crust, rolled paper-thin, docked, dried uncovered in the fridge.
Chicago Deep Dish Dough
Standard mix, single rise, then a butter lamination for flaky layers. Cornmeal in the dough for color and crunch.
Test Pie
Detroit-Style Pepperoni
Square. Caramelized cheese frico edges. Sauce on top, the way the pizza gods intended.
Grandma Pie
Square. Thin-ish. Garlic and oregano hit you first. Grandma's secret.
Pizza Bianca al Taglio
Olive oil, rosemary, flaky salt. The most underrated pizza.
Classic Margherita
Three things, done right: crushed San Marzanos, torn fior di latte, basil at the end.
Cold-Ferment NY Dough
The dough behind the slice. High protein, a kiss of sugar, two days in the fridge.
72-Hour Neapolitan Dough
The poolish-based, slow-fermented dough that gave Naples its name. Light, blistered, ready to char.
