Pizza Hut pizza

On Christmas day we had pizza for dinner. We made Roman pizza dough from our Peter Reinhartz book. It is a super thin almost cracker crust. We also made this recipe for "Pizza hut" personal size pizzas that I found on Real Mom Kitchen. They did taste a lot like a pizza hut pizza. I didn't use nearly as much oil as the recipe said. I didn't even use 3 oz. in all of the pans combined.



Dough:

• 1 1/3 C Warm water (105F)
• 1/4 C Non−fat dry milk
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 4 C Flour
• 1 Tbsp Sugar
• 1 pk Dry yeast
• 2 Tbsp Vegetable oil (for dough)
• 9 Oz Vegetable oil (3 oz. per pan) – (I just use enough to coat the pan)

Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry 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. (I just let my mixer do the kneading.) Divide dough into three balls. In three 9″ cake pans ( or can use 1 – 9 inch pie plate and 1 – 9 x 13 dish) , cover bottom of pan with oil. Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to about a 9″ circle. Place in cake pans. Cover with a plate. Place in warm area and allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (I like to use my microwave.)

Sauce:

• 1 8 Oz Can Tomato Sauce
• 1 tsp Dry Oregano
• 1/2 tsp Marjoram
• 1/2 tsp Dry Basil
• 1/2 tsp Garlic salt

Combine and let sit for 1 hour while the dough rises.
For Each Nine Inch Pizza:
Preheat oven to 450. Spoon 1/3 cup sauce on dough and spread to within 1″ of edge. Distribute 1 1/2 Oz. shredded mozzarella cheese on sauce. 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 about 15 minutes. I then brush outer edge of crust with garlic butter.
