Ingredients
Dough
  • 1 1/3 cup Warm water ~105 degrees
  • 1/4 cup Non-fat dry milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 cups flour
  • 1 tbs sugar
  • 1 package instant dry yeast
  • 2 tbs vegetable oil
  • 3 oz vegetable oil for each pan
Sauce
  • 1 15oz can tomato sauce
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp dry oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dry basil
  • 1/2 tsp dry marjoram
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
Making the Dough
  1. Add the dough hook to your stand mixer.
  2. Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in the bowl of your stand mixer. Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes or until the mixture starts to bubble. Add oil and stir again.
  3. Gently add the flour and stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. Then knead the dough with the dough hook on speed 4, for 5 mintues.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide dough into three balls.
  5. Pour 3 oz of oil into three 9" cake pans making sure it is spread evenly. I know it sounds gross, but without the oil you do not get that perfectly crispy crust.
  6. Roll out each dough ball into an approximate 9 inch circle. Then place into the cake pans.
  7. Cover each of the pans with a plate or flat object and then let the dough proof/rise for 1 to 2 hours.
  8. While the dough is rising, mix the sauce ingredient together in a sauce pan. Heat with medium heat until the sauce starts to boil, then lower the heat to low. Let the sauce simmer for 30 minutes before using.
Assembly of the pizza
  1. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. After the dough has risen, spoon 1/3 cup of sauce on the dough. Make sure to leave a 1 inch edge.
  3. Top with 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of cheese. Make sure not to overload it.
  4. Then top with your other favorite ingredients. I love pepperoni.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minute or until the crust is brown and cheese is melted.
