Copycat Pizza Hut Pan Pizza

Last night we went to see The Invention of Lying. It was pretty good, but not as funny as the commercials make it seem. However, it was an interesting concept for a movie. Basically, no one can tell a lie and they say exactly whats on their minds. If only!

Movie's are getting expensive. A ticket is $10.99 and add in a couple of pan pizza's, taco's and drink's, you're looking at another $28.00.

Anyway, if you want to save a buck stay home, rent a movie and try this excellent recipe for Copycat Pizza Hut Pan Pizza!

Just a note about this recipe. I didn't really like the sauce. I suggest you use your own sauce favorite sauce. The dough was fairly thick. I suggest you make 4 pizza's instead of 3. It seems like 3 ounces of oil in the pans is a lot so I cut it back to just enough to coat the pans. This dough is also an excellent go to pizza dough for just regular pizza.

1/4 cup Non-fat dry milk
