Ingredients
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup non-fat dry milk powder
2 tablespoons sugar
1 3/4-oz packet quick-rise yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 2/3 cups warm water
2 Tablespoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb Italian sausage
1/2 lb ground beef
1 12-oz jar pizza sauce
1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pepper to taste
8 oz shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 475˚F. Grease an 18”x13”x3/4″ baking pan and line with parchment paper.
Microwave water for 30-60 seconds until just warm. Do not overheat. In a large mixing bowl combine flour, milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt. Add oil to warm water and stir, then add to flour mixture and stir just until dough forms.
Pour dough onto pan and allow to rest for 5 minutes before spreading dough to edges of pan. Make sure each corner is covered and that dough is an even thickness all around. Bake crust for 6-8 minutes.
While crust is baking brown sausage and ground beef over medium heat, breaking up the meat into as small of bits as possible with a spatula or spoon.
Top crust with pizza sauce and Italian seasoning and pepper. Add meat on top in an even layer. Sprinkle cheese on top of meat and return pizza to oven for 8-10 or until cheese is beginning to brown and bubble.
Slice into roughly 5”x6” rectangles and serve immediately.
