Bread flour, 75% hydration, 2% salt, about 0.7% instant yeast. overnight fermentation in fridge, proofed about 5-6 hours in the pan.
Round was pre-baked with a coating of sauce (blended up can of San marzano tomatoes, half a can of tomato paste, and a small amount of salt, garlic power, crushed red peppers, and oregano). Then baked with the cheese (white cheddar, low moisture Mozz (part skim was all the store had), and Jack.
Square was pre-baked with no sauce, then pepperoni’d and cheesed, then baked a bit more, then topped with some warmed sauce and baked a bit more.
Kids and wife liked the round plain, but I preferred the Detroit style.

What temp did you cook this at for how long? It looks so….perfect.

I am happy with amorphous STOS wall clingers.
Round is not a flavor.

Round, but I do like a grandma’s pie.

Round, god intended pizza to be round.
scoutlolololol
round with pepperonis on it would be fire, both look great but rectangle got too much sauce for my taste.
ClydeTheSupreme
Rectangle is my preference
Both are well made though (maybe id make them slightly thicker?)
Good job

Detroit style can be rectangle but others should be round.

Round if it’s a pizza to the baking steel situation but if there is a pan involved, rectangle (damn near killed angle).

I prefer whatever I can get into my mouth quicker.

I don’t have one. I like to avoid food ruts so sometimes we’ll have square, rectangle or circle. Just because we’re having a Chicago deep dish doesn’t mean the pan has to be circular and same with detroit, it can be round. New York style however for some reason just has to be round.
I agree your oven was a little bit cool so it doesn’t have the characteristic edges but aside from technical perfection it looks perfect.

Depends on the type of pizza

I’ll take both please

Round looks fantastic, I wish I could work out how much dough for different size pans, I’m fine with onni & steel but the pan pizza eludes me!

For pan pizza definitely rectangle

Round or Rectangle? Yes.

Depends on the style, but that regardless of shape, that frico ain’t nearly dark enough. Needs to be two shades short of black.

For this style of pizza, a rectangle is better because you have a higher edge to total area ratio. That’s more burnt cheese edge in my belly.

Rectangle is just WRONG
