Pizza Hut Deep Dish Dough

1/4 c. dry milk
1 T. sugar
1/2 t. salt
1 pkg. dry yeast (or 2 1/4 t.)
1 1/3 c. warm water (105)
2 T. veg. oil
1 c. veg oil

Mix first 5 ingredients, and let sit 2 min. Mix in oil well. Mix in flour and mix until absorbed. Either mix in KitchenAid with dough hook or turn out on flat surface and knead for 10 min.

Divide into 3 even balls. Roll each until about 9-inch-wide. 

In each of your three 9-inch cake pans, pour 1/3 c. oil, and coat evenly. Trust the process. It's a lot of oil, but it makes each pizza perfectly crispy on the bottom. Trust. Put dough in pans. Cover and let sit in warmish place 1.5 hours.

Set oven to 475. Spread sauce, cheese, toppings on each pizza. Each pizza will be very thick, so put lots of toppings on! Bake 13-15 min, or until cheese is bubbling and outer crust is brown.
