Copycat Pepperoni Personal Pan Pizza (Pizza Hut’s style)

If you like pizza dough, you’ll love this American lunch — 40 minutes from craving to table. It is weeknight cooking that still hits your targets — 30 grams of protein per serving. No specialty equipment and nothing hard to find at a regular grocery store.

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pizza dough
• 3/4 cup Crushed tomatoes
• 8 oz Light mozzarella
• 2 oz Turkey pepperoni
• 2 tbsp Grated parmesan
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 tsp Sugar
• 1 tsp Dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp Garlic powder

Steps

1. Oil two 8-inch cake pans generously — that fried-in-oil bottom is the entire personality of pan pizza, so do not skimp.
2. Divide the dough in half, press into the pans, and let rise 20 minutes somewhere warm; the dough should look visibly puffier before it goes in.
3. Stir the sugar, oregano, and garlic powder into the tomatoes for that familiar sweet Hut-style sauce.
4. Cheese first, all the way to the rim, then pepperoni — cheese touching the pan wall caramelizes into the lacy edge that makes pan pizza famous.
5. Bake at 475°F for 14 minutes until the bottom is deep golden, then slide the pizza onto the pan lid for 2 minutes so the base sets before you cut.
