Unfortunately, it is all that oil that makes the dough turn out crisp and crunchy without being tough or too hard to chew well. It is the one thing that distinguishes the crust from that of other companies. So don't make it often and use it for those serious treats for special occasions. It works best when made in a pan crust pizza pan. That is like a round cake pan but it is 16 inches around. It would use up probably 2/3 of that dough recipe since you fit it into the pan and work it up the sides before letting it rise.

It uses 3 ounces oil in each of 3 9 inch pizza pans or cast iron skillets. That's right folks, 3 ounces each pan. That's 6 tablespoons in the bottom of each pan, 3 eighths of a cup! Oh, and then you use some of that butter-flavored spray as well. I will try this recipe with maybe a little les oil, but I won't leave it out altogether. Copy Cat Pizza Hut Pizza Pizza Crust 1 package dry yeast 1 tablespoon sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder 1 1/3 cup warm water (105 degrees F) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for dough) 4 cups all-purpose flour Pizza Sauce 1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce 1 teaspoon dried oregano 1/2 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/2 teaspoon dried basil 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt Assembly 9 ounces vegetable oil (3 ounce per pan) butter flavored cooking spray mozzarella cheese pizza toppings as desired directions For the dough: Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a 2-quart size mixing bowl. Add the water and stir to mix. Let the mixture sit for 2 minutes or until the yeast starts to bubble. Add the oil to the dough mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour in one cup increments, stirring after each addition, until a dough forms and the flour is all combined. Turn the dough out onto a flat, lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes. Divide the dough into three equal balls. Place about 3 ounces of oil in the bottom of each 9-inch cake pan or cast iron skillet. Tilt the pans to spread the oil evenly. Using a rolling pin, roll out each ball of dough to a 9-inch circle and place in the prepared pans. Lightly coat each dough disk with cooking spray or oil and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm, draft-free location and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until puffy. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce by combining all the ingredients until blended. Let sit at room temperature for at least one hour. The sauce can be made ahead of time and kept in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before using. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F. For each 9-inch pizza: Spoon 1/3 cup of the sauce on the dough and spread to within 1 inch of the edges. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 ounces of shredded mozzarella cheese. Place toppings of choice in the following order: thin meats like pepperoni or canadian bacon, vegetables, ground or cubed meats, additional mozzarella cheese. Place the pizzas in the oven and cook until the outer crust is brown and the cheese is bubbly in the center (11-15 minutes, depending on how many toppings you use). Remove from the oven. Let cool for 2-3 minutes then remove from the pans to a cutting board and cut into wedges using a pizza cutter. _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark _______________________________________________ Cookinginthedark mailing list [email protected] http://acbradio.org/mailman/listinfo/cookinginthedark
