Pizza Hut Style Pizza!

Last night I made homemade pizza from scratch (it mimics Pizza Hut style).  I would include a picture but it was eaten...FAST.  Yay for me!!!

Here's the original recipe:  

and here is my version with minor tweaking here and there:  


Pizza Hut Style Pan Pizza Recipe

1 1/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F)

1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 cups flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil (for dough)
enough olive oil to coat the sides and bottom of pan(s)

***Sauce***
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 teaspoon marjoram
1/2 teaspoon dry basil
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt

DIRECTIONS
Put yeast, sugar, salt, and milk in a large (2 qt.) bowl. Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes. Add oil and stir again. Add flour and stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. 

Turn out on to a flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Divide dough into three balls. In three 9" cake pans (or whatever size you want to use...we sometimes use two bigger pans), enough olive oil in each making sure it is spread evenly. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to about a 9" circle. Place in cake pans. 

Cover with a plate or plastic wrap. Place in warm area and allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. 


Sauce: 

Combine ingredients and let sit for 1 hour. 

For Each Nine Inch Pizza: Preheat oven to 450 - 475 degrees F Spoon 1/3 cup sauce on dough and spread to within 1" of edge. Place toppings of your choice in this order: Pepperoni or Ham Vegetables Meats (cooked ground sausage or beef) Top with 3 Oz. mozzarella cheese Cook until cheese is bubbling and outer crust is brown.

As you can see, I tweaked the recipe a bit.  For one, I don't use dry milk.  I use 1/4 cup of regular milk.  I also don't use that much olive oil in the pan.  I do just enough to coat the sides and bottom.

If you have any other tweaks or suggestions feel free to share!

Enjoy!
