Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your very own Pizza Hut Pan Pizza:
1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups of flour and salt.
3. Combine Ingredients: Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough starts to form.
4. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as needed.
5. First Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
6. Prepare the Pan: Grease a 14-inch pizza pan with olive oil to prevent sticking.
7. Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it to the prepared pan. Press it out evenly to cover the bottom and up the sides of the pan.
8. Second Rise: Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
9. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
10. Add Sauce and Cheese: Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
11. Add Toppings: Add your desired toppings and sprinkle with garlic powder and oregano if desired.
12. Bake the Pizza: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
13. Cool: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
