Equipment

  • 1 Detroit-Style Pizza Pan a small Ooni Detroit-Style Pizza Pan or a standard 8-inch x 10-inch Detroit-Style Pizza Pan

Instructions

  • Preheat your indoor pizza oven with the temperature set to temperature specified on your brownie mix, typically 350℉. When fully heated, set the heat balance dial (if equipped) to Bottom 5/Top 5.
  • Grease a Detroit-Style pizza pan with unsalted butter. You want to make sure the butter covers the entire interior surface and corners.
  • Prepare the brownie mix as instructed on the box. Fold in 1/2-cup to 1-cup peanut butter chips.
  • Spread the brownie batter out evenly in the prepared Detroit-Style pizza pan. Make sure the batter fully reaches the corners.
  • Use a spoon, add dollops of peanut butter in two straight lines lengthwise down the the top of the brownie batter. Using a carving fork or spoon spread the peanut butter out into tight lines to create the signature sauce "racing stripes" Detroit-Style pizza is known for. (Note: A carving fork is useful as helps some of the peanut butter better mix with the batter below.)
  • Bake according the directions on the brownie mix. Using a Detroit-Style Pizza Pan typically requires using the full baking time for brownie mixes as the batter is often thicker.
  • Let cool fully in the pan. Run a metal spatula between the edge of the baked brownies and the pan to make sure they are not stuck to the sides. Transfer the brownies to a cutting board to slice into squares. Serve immediately.
