A nostalgic pan pizza recipe that captures the essence of Pizza Hut with a crispy crust and gooey cheese.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup warm water (110°F)
  • 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Pizza sauce
  • Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Toppings of choice (pepperoni, bell peppers, onions, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
  3. Mix until a dough begins to form, then knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  4. Let the dough rise in a greased bowl for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and grease a 14-inch pizza pan.
  6. Shape the dough by pressing it into the pizza pan and letting it rise for another 15-20 minutes.
  7. Spread pizza sauce over the dough, layer cheese, and add toppings.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
  9. Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve.

Notes

For best results, ensure your water temperature is correct and knead the dough well. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days.
