Description

Detroit Pizza Automatic Manufacturing Equipment {AUTOMANUFACTURING APPARATUS FOR DETROIT PIZZA}

The present invention relates to a pizza manufacturing system, and more particularly, to an automatic Detroit pizza manufacturing apparatus capable of automatically making Detroit pizza.

In general, pizza is made by mixing flour, yeast, and a number of additives, kneading and aging to make pizza dough, and toppings such as cheese, vegetables, bulgogi, sauce, or other auxiliary ingredients on the pizza dough spread widely It is a food made by adding ingredients and then baking it in a frying pan or oven.

Such pizza is a trend that is widely used as a meal replacement as it can be easily eaten along with recent dietary changes and contains sufficient calories.

Meanwhile, the popularity of Detroit Pizza among pizzas is increasing recently.

Detroit Pizza is also known as Sicilian Square Pizza. It's literally a square pizza. It is made in a square pan with dough that is almost as thick as bread, and olives and pepperoni are used as toppings, and cheese is sprinkled on top. Since it is a square pizza, cut it into squares.

The square pans used for Detroit Pizza initially used steel square pans delivered to automobile manufacturing plants. This fan was first used in Detroit, USA. In addition, this pan has a deep bottom, fast heat conduction, and even heating, so it has the advantage of being able to produce a unique taste like a cast iron pan.

Meanwhile, a technology for automatically making pizza using a robot has been disclosed, but no technology has been applied to Detroit Pizza yet.
