This Pizza Hut-style dough recipe recreates the iconic pan pizza crust—soft and chewy inside with a buttery, crisp edge. It’s perfect for lovers of thick, golden-brown pizza crust and works great in a skillet or pizza pan.
Ingredients
Directions
In a bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, dry milk, and salt. Add yeast mixture and oil. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for 1–2 hours in a warm place until doubled in size.
Generously oil two 9-inch cake pans or cast iron skillets. Sprinkle with cornmeal for extra texture.
Divide the dough into two portions and press each into the pan. Cover and let rise again for 30–45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Add sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for 15–20 minutes until the crust is golden and crispy.
Brush crust with melted butter as soon as it comes out. Let cool slightly before slicing.
