Equipment

Non-Stick Spray butter flavored if available

Ingredients

For the dough

1 ⅓ cup water at 105° F
¼ cup non-fat dry milk
½ teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 package active dry yeast
2 tablespoons vegetable oil for the dough
6 ounces vegetable oil 2 ounces per pan

For the pizza

1 cup Pizza sauce
½ cup Italian sausage crumbled, cooked, and drained
½ cup Mozzarella cheese shredded
¼ cup Fresh mushrooms sliced, sauteed in Italian seasoning

Instructions

Combine the yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a large bowl.
Slowly stir in the warm water.
Let sit for two minutes.
Stir in the 2 tablespoons of oil.
Add the flour and stir until a dough starts to form. Continue stirring until the flour is absorbed.
Remove the dough to a very lightly floured surface and knead for 10 minutes. The dough will form a wonderful consistency and smooth texture.
Add 2 ounces of oil to each of 3 9" cake pans. Make sure the oil is spread out evenly in the pan.
Divide the dough into 3 equally-sized balls. Roll each ball out to a 9" circle and place in the pans. Spray edges of dough with the non-stick spray.
Cover the pans with a dish towel or a plate and place in a warm area (around 78° F) and let the dough rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 475° F.
Divide sauce between pans. Add sausage, cheese, and mushrooms, or whatever toppings you desire.
Bake pizzas for about 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and hardened and the cheese is melted.

Notes

You'll need 3 9" cake pans for this recipe. You can also make the pizzas in 10" pans, but of course the crush won't be as deep. Or, you can make a single pizza in a large deep pizza pan.
