Instructions
 

Step 1: Make the Dough

  • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, milk powder, salt, sugar, and yeast.
  • Add warm water and olive oil, then mix to form a dough.
  • Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled.

Step 2: Make the Sauce

  • While dough rises, mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl.
  • Adjust seasoning. Let rest so flavors meld (optional: simmer 10 mins).

Step 3: Prep the Pans

  • Add 1 tbsp oil to each pan and tilt to coat bottom and sides.
  • Punch down dough, divide in half.
  • Press or roll out dough to fit pans, pushing slightly up the edges.
  • Cover and let rise again for 30 minutes.

Step 4: Assemble & Bake

  • Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C).
  • Spread a few tablespoons of sauce over each dough.
  • Top with mozzarella and desired toppings.
  • Bake for 12–15 minutes, until cheese is bubbly and crust is golden brown.
  • Let cool for 2 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Add garlic herb seasoning to crust edge before baking.
Use a mix of low-moisture mozzarella and cheddar (like Domino’s blend).
Brush crust with melted butter + garlic powder after baking.
