πŸ•βœ¨ Pizza Hut Dough Recipe βœ¨πŸ•

August 31, 2024 by BMA24

This Pizza Hut dough recipe will give you a soft, chewy crust similar to the beloved pizza chain’s classic pan pizza. It’s perfect for making at home when you’re craving that signature thick, buttery crust.

πŸ“‹ Ingredients:

  • 🍞 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 🍞 2 tbsp powdered milk (optional, for a richer dough)
  • πŸ₯„ 1 tbsp sugar
  • πŸ₯„ 1 tsp salt
  • 🍢 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for greasing)
  • 🌾 1 cup warm water (110Β°F/45Β°C)
  • 🍞 1 package (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 🧈 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing the crust)

πŸ“ Directions:

1. Prepare the Dough:

  • 🌾 Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy.
  • 🍞 Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, powdered milk (if using), and salt.
  • 🍢 Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the yeast mixture and olive oil into the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

2. Knead the Dough:

  • 🍞 Knead the Dough: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.

3. Let the Dough Rise:

  • 🌾 First Rise: Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it in the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until the dough has doubled in size.

4. Prepare the Pan and Dough:

  • πŸ• Grease the Pan: Grease a large pizza pan or cast iron skillet with olive oil to give the crust its signature buttery texture.
  • 🍞 Shape the Dough: Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it if making more than one pizza. Roll or stretch the dough into a circle about the size of your pizza pan.
  • 🌾 Second Rise: Place the dough in the prepared pan and press it out to the edges. Cover the dough and let it rise in the pan for an additional 15-20 minutes.

5. Preheat the Oven:

  • πŸ”₯ Preheat your oven to 475Β°F (245Β°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats.

6. Top and Bake the Pizza:

  • πŸ• Add Toppings: After the second rise, brush the crust with melted butter. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  • πŸ”₯ Bake: Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

7. Serve:

  • 🍽️ Slice and Enjoy: Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade Pizza Hut-style pizza!
