Master the art of making Pizza Hut’s iconic Pan Pizza at home with this detailed guide, featuring step-by-step instructions and expert tips.
Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 1 1/3 cup warm water (110°F)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 packet (or 2 1/4 tsp.) dry yeast
- 1/4 cup non-fat dry milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups bread flour
- 2 tablespoons canola oil (for the dough)
- 3–5 tablespoons canola oil (for greasing pans)
Sauce:
- 1 8 oz can tomato sauce
- 1 tsp dry oregano
- 1/2 tsp marjoram
- 1/2 tsp dry basil
- 1/4 tsp garlic salt
For Each Pizza:
- Shredded mozzarella cheese (and a little cheddar, optional)
- Toppings of choice (e.g., turkey pepperoni)
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine yeast and sugar. Add warm water to dissolve the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until it blooms.
- Add non-fat dry milk, salt, oil, and 2-3 cups of flour. Stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. Turn out onto a flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes, adding enough flour to achieve a soft, supple dough.
- Divide the dough into three balls. Grease three 9″ cake pans with canola oil, ensuring even coverage. Roll out each dough ball into a 9″ circle and place in the pans. Cover and let rise in a warm area for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Prepare the Sauce: Combine tomato sauce, oregano, marjoram, basil, and garlic salt. Let sit for 1 hour.
Notes
- Oven Preparation: Preheat the oven to 420-450°F.
- Assemble the Pizza: Spoon 1/3 cup of sauce onto the dough, leaving a 1″ edge. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella (and cheddar, if using), then add your chosen toppings.
- Bake: Place in the oven and bake until the cheese is bubbling and the crust is golden brown, about 15 minutes.
