Please see disclosure policy\nhere\n.\nThis homemade version of your favorite Pizza Hut Pan Pizza is so easy to make at home and the kids can personalize it with their favorite toppings.\nWhy You’ll Love This Recipe!\nYou’ll love it because it tastes as good if not better than the real thing.  Our family had our first taste of pan pizza years ago when we went on a trip to Disney World.  We got into town late and we were all starving.  The only restaurant near our hotel that was open was a Pizza Hut.\nWe ordered a pan pizza, and I remember it being the most delicious thing I had ever eaten.  Now it could have been that I was ABSOLUTELY STARVING and anything would have tasted good, but ever since then I have had an affection for deep dish pizza.\nAfter we got home, I found a recipe for Pizza Hut Deep Dish or Pan Pizza online and I knew we had to try it. With a few modifications to the pizza recipe, it was a huge hit!  The entire family loved it and the three pizzas feed us all with some left over.\nIngredients Needed\nNon Fat Dry Milk.\nIf you don’t have dried milk you can replace the water in the recipe with actual milk.\nSalt\nFlour\n.  I use unbleached all purpose flour, you can also use bread flour.\nSugar\nActive Dry Yeast\nOil.\nYou can use all olive oil or part olive oil and part vegetable oil.  Use olive oil in the dough itself.\nPizza Sauce.\nYou can use store bought or use my\neasy pizza sauce recipe.\nYou can also use tomato sauce and add in some basil, oregano and garlic powder.\nCheese.\nWe use freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese.\nHow to Make Pan Pizza Recipe\nDeep Dish\/Pan Pizza Crust\nCombine\nwater, yeast, sugar and dry milk, stir and allow to proof for 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.\nAdd\nin oil, flour and salt. Use a mixer or your hands to form a soft and smooth dough.\nCoat\n3 eight inch cake pan heavily with olive oil, about 2 Tbsp per pan. One of the things that makes the crust so yummy is olive oil.  Don’t skimp on the olive oil.  It makes the crust super yummy.\nDivide\npizza dough into three pieces and press into bottom of each pan.  Pushing up to the edges of the pan.\nCover\ndough with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.\nAdd\npizza sauce to risen dough. You can buy store bought pizza sauce but it is so easy to make your own.  Use this\nhomemade pizza sauce recipe\n. Leave about an inch of crust uncovered around the edges. \nAdd\ndesired toppings and sprinkle generously with cheese.\nBake\nat 450 degrees F them for about 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown.\nBrush\ncrust edges with garlic butter for additional flavor.\nGarlic Butter\nCombine\n4 Tbsp melted butter and 1 Tbsp minced garlic or 1 tsp dried garlic powder.\nWe all love olives on our pepperoni pizza too? What’s your favorite pizza topping? Are you a thin crust or a pan crust fan?\nFavorite Pan Pizza Pizza Toppings\nPepperoni\nCanadian Bacon\nSausage\nBacon\nPineapple\nBlack Olives\nVegetables – mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhat other kind of pan can I use for pan pizza?\nIf you don’t have three 8 inch cake pans you can use a 8 inch pie plate along with a 9 x 13 inch baking dish.  You can also use a two 9 -10 inch cast iron skillet or you can use a combination of various pans.\nDo I need to use that much oil?\nDon’t skimp on the oil.  The oil gives the pan pizza crust amazing texture and flavor.\nIs pan pizza the same as deep dish pizza?\nWith Pan pizza, the sauce is put on top of the dough.  The  cheese and toppings are placed on top of the pizza sauce. With deep dish pizza, the dough is covered with cheese, then the sauce. This prevents the crust from becoming soggy.\nCheck out more delicious pizza recipes:\nBe sure and follow me over on \nYouTube\n for weekly cooking demos.\nPrep:\n25\nminutes\nCook:\n15\nminutes\nLet Rise:\n1\nhour\n30\nminutes\nTotal:\n2\nhours\n10\nminutes\nDough:\n▢\n1 1\/3\ncups\nWarm water\n105F\n▢\n1\/4\ncup\nNon-fat dry milk\n▢\n1\/2\ntsp\nSalt\n▢\n4\ncups\nFlour\n▢\n1\nTbsp\nSugar\n▢\n2 1\/4\ntsp\nactive dry yeast\n▢\n2\nTbsp\nolive oil\nfor dough\n▢\n6\nTbsp\nVegetable oil or olive oil\n2 Tbsp per pan\n▢\npremade pizza sauce or use my favorite Pizza Sauce Recipe\n▢\n12\noz.\nmozzarella cheese, grated (about 2 cups)\n▢\nfavorite toppings, sausage, pepperoni, black olives etc.\nGarlic Butter\n▢\n4\nTbsp\nbutter\nmelted\n▢\n1\nTbsp\ngarlic\nminced can also use 1 tsp garlic powder.\nPut yeast, sugar, and dry milk into water, stir and allow to proof for 5 minutes until foamy and bubbly.\nIn a bowl combine oil, flour and salt.\nPour in yeast mixture and stir to combine.\nTurn out on to a flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes or use stand mixer\nDivide dough into three balls.

You can also use a two 9 -10 inch cast iron skillet or you can use a combination of various pans.\n\n### Do I need to use that much oil?\nDon’t skimp on the oil. The oil gives the pan pizza crust amazing texture and flavor.\n\n### Is pan pizza the same as deep dish pizza?\nWith Pan pizza, the sauce is put on top of the dough. The cheese and toppings are placed on top of the pizza sauce. With deep dish pizza, the dough is covered with cheese, then the sauce. This prevents the crust from becoming soggy.\n\n**Check out more delicious pizza recipes:**\n\n- [Hawaiian Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/hawaiian-pizza\/)\n- [Margherita Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/thin-crust-margherita-pizza\/)\n- [Pizza Dough Recipe](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/pizza-dough-recipe\/)\n- [Fruit Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/fruit-pizza\/)\n- [Flatbread Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/flatbread-pizza-recipe\/)\n- [Arugula Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/arugula-pizza\/)\n\nBe sure and follow me over on [YouTube](https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/leighannewilkes) for weekly cooking demos.\n\n5 from 85 votes\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza](data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20635%20635'%3E%3C\/svg%3E)\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza-6-635x635.jpg)\n## Pizza Hut Pan Pizza {copycat recipe}\nRecipe From: [Leigh Anne Wilkes](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/about\/)\n\n*If you love take out* ***Deep Dish Pizza****, you need to try this homemade pan pizza recipe.

Our family had our first taste of pan pizza years ago when we went on a trip to Disney World. We got into town late and we were all starving. The only restaurant near our hotel that was open was a Pizza Hut.\n\nWe ordered a pan pizza, and I remember it being the most delicious thing I had ever eaten. Now it could have been that I was ABSOLUTELY STARVING and anything would have tasted good, but ever since then I have had an affection for deep dish pizza.\n\n![Three Deep Dish Pizzas](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza-6.jpg)\n\nAfter we got home, I found a recipe for Pizza Hut Deep Dish or Pan Pizza online and I knew we had to try it. With a few modifications to the pizza recipe, it was a huge hit! The entire family loved it and the three pizzas feed us all with some left over.\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza on a cutting board](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza-7.jpg)\n\n## Ingredients Needed\n- **Non Fat Dry Milk.** If you don’t have dried milk you can replace the water in the recipe with actual milk.\n- **Salt**\n- **Flour**. I use unbleached all purpose flour, you can also use bread flour.\n- **Sugar**\n- **Active Dry Yeast**\n- **Oil.** You can use all olive oil or part olive oil and part vegetable oil. Use olive oil in the dough itself.\n- **Pizza Sauce.**  You can use store bought or use my [easy pizza sauce recipe.](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/homemade-pizza-sauce\/) You can also use tomato sauce and add in some basil, oregano and garlic powder.\n- **Cheese.**  We use freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese.\n## How to Make Pan Pizza Recipe\n\n### Deep Dish\/Pan Pizza Crust\n- **Combine** water, yeast, sugar and dry milk, stir and allow to proof for 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly.\n- **Add** in oil, flour and salt. Use a mixer or your hands to form a soft and smooth dough.\n\n- **Coat** 3 eight inch cake pan heavily with olive oil, about 2 Tbsp per pan. One of the things that makes the crust so yummy is olive oil. Don’t skimp on the olive oil. It makes the crust super yummy.\n\n- **Divide** pizza dough into three pieces and press into bottom of each pan. Pushing up to the edges of the pan.\n- **Cover** dough with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza Dough in a Pan](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza.jpg)\n\n- **Add** pizza sauce to risen dough. You can buy store bought pizza sauce but it is so easy to make your own. Use this [homemade pizza sauce recipe](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/national-pizza-week\/). Leave about an inch of crust uncovered around the edges.\n- **Add** desired toppings and sprinkle generously with cheese.\n- **Bake** at 450 degrees F them for about 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown.\n- **Brush** crust edges with garlic butter for additional flavor.\n### Garlic Butter\n- **Combine** 4 Tbsp melted butter and 1 Tbsp minced garlic or 1 tsp dried garlic powder.\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza topped with pepperoni sausage and olives](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza-4.jpg)\n\nWe all love olives on our pepperoni pizza too? What’s your favorite pizza topping? Are you a thin crust or a pan crust fan?\n\n![Deep Dish Pizza](https:\/\/www.yourhomebasedmom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/Deep-Dish-Pizza-8.jpg)\n\n## Favorite Pan Pizza Pizza Toppings\n- Pepperoni\n- Canadian Bacon\n- Sausage\n- Bacon\n- Pineapple\n- Black Olives\n- Vegetables – mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n### What other kind of pan can I use for pan pizza?\nIf you don’t have three 8 inch cake pans you can use a 8 inch pie plate along with a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. You can also use a two 9 -10 inch cast iron skillet or you can use a combination of various pans.\n\n### Do I need to use that much oil?\nDon’t skimp on the oil. The oil gives the pan pizza crust amazing texture and flavor.\n\n### Is pan pizza the same as deep dish pizza?\nWith Pan pizza, the sauce is put on top of the dough.

Boilerpipe Text	By: Leigh Anne Wilkes Posted: 4/04/22 Updated: 2/20/26 This post may contain affiliate links. Please see disclosure policy here . This homemade version of your favorite Pizza Hut Pan Pizza is so easy to make at home and the kids can personalize it with their favorite toppings. Why You’ll Love This Recipe! You’ll love it because it tastes as good if not better than the real thing. Our family had our first taste of pan pizza years ago when we went on a trip to Disney World. We got into town late and we were all starving. The only restaurant near our hotel that was open was a Pizza Hut. We ordered a pan pizza, and I remember it being the most delicious thing I had ever eaten. Now it could have been that I was ABSOLUTELY STARVING and anything would have tasted good, but ever since then I have had an affection for deep dish pizza. After we got home, I found a recipe for Pizza Hut Deep Dish or Pan Pizza online and I knew we had to try it. With a few modifications to the pizza recipe, it was a huge hit! The entire family loved it and the three pizzas feed us all with some left over. Ingredients Needed Non Fat Dry Milk. If you don’t have dried milk you can replace the water in the recipe with actual milk. Salt Flour . I use unbleached all purpose flour, you can also use bread flour. Sugar Active Dry Yeast Oil. You can use all olive oil or part olive oil and part vegetable oil. Use olive oil in the dough itself. Pizza Sauce. You can use store bought or use my easy pizza sauce recipe. You can also use tomato sauce and add in some basil, oregano and garlic powder. Cheese. We use freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese. How to Make Pan Pizza Recipe Deep Dish/Pan Pizza Crust Combine water, yeast, sugar and dry milk, stir and allow to proof for 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly. Add in oil, flour and salt. Use a mixer or your hands to form a soft and smooth dough. Coat 3 eight inch cake pan heavily with olive oil, about 2 Tbsp per pan. One of the things that makes the crust so yummy is olive oil. Don’t skimp on the olive oil. It makes the crust super yummy. Divide pizza dough into three pieces and press into bottom of each pan. Pushing up to the edges of the pan. Cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size. Add pizza sauce to risen dough. You can buy store bought pizza sauce but it is so easy to make your own. Use this homemade pizza sauce recipe . Leave about an inch of crust uncovered around the edges. Add desired toppings and sprinkle generously with cheese. Bake at 450 degrees F them for about 12-15 minutes until crust is golden brown. Brush crust edges with garlic butter for additional flavor. Garlic Butter Combine 4 Tbsp melted butter and 1 Tbsp minced garlic or 1 tsp dried garlic powder. We all love olives on our pepperoni pizza too? What’s your favorite pizza topping? Are you a thin crust or a pan crust fan? Favorite Pan Pizza Pizza Toppings Pepperoni Canadian Bacon Sausage Bacon Pineapple Black Olives Vegetables – mushrooms, peppers, onions, tomatoes Frequently Asked Questions What other kind of pan can I use for pan pizza? If you don’t have three 8 inch cake pans you can use a 8 inch pie plate along with a 9 x 13 inch baking dish. You can also use a two 9 -10 inch cast iron skillet or you can use a combination of various pans. Do I need to use that much oil? Don’t skimp on the oil. The oil gives the pan pizza crust amazing texture and flavor. Is pan pizza the same as deep dish pizza? With Pan pizza, the sauce is put on top of the dough. The cheese and toppings are placed on top of the pizza sauce. With deep dish pizza, the dough is covered with cheese, then the sauce. This prevents the crust from becoming soggy.

You’ll love it because it tastes as good if not better than the real thing. Our family had our first taste of pan pizza years ago when we went on a trip to Disney World. We got into town late and we were all starving. The only restaurant near our hotel that was open was a Pizza Hut. We ordered a pan pizza, and I remember it being the most delicious thing I had ever eaten. Now it could have been that I was ABSOLUTELY STARVING and anything would have tasted good, but ever since then I have had an affection for deep dish pizza. ![Three Deep Dish Pizzas](https://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Deep-Dish-Pizza-6.jpg) After we got home, I found a recipe for Pizza Hut Deep Dish or Pan Pizza online and I knew we had to try it. With a few modifications to the pizza recipe, it was a huge hit! The entire family loved it and the three pizzas feed us all with some left over. ![Deep Dish Pizza on a cutting board](https://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Deep-Dish-Pizza-7.jpg) ## Ingredients Needed - Non Fat Dry Milk. If you don’t have dried milk you can replace the water in the recipe with actual milk. - Salt - Flour. I use unbleached all purpose flour, you can also use bread flour. - Sugar - Active Dry Yeast - Oil. You can use all olive oil or part olive oil and part vegetable oil. Use olive oil in the dough itself. - Pizza Sauce. You can use store bought or use my [easy pizza sauce recipe.](https://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/homemade-pizza-sauce/) You can also use tomato sauce and add in some basil, oregano and garlic powder. - Cheese. We use freshly grated mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese. ## How to Make Pan Pizza Recipe ### Deep Dish/Pan Pizza Crust - Combine water, yeast, sugar and dry milk, stir and allow to proof for 10 minutes until foamy and bubbly. - Add in oil, flour and salt. Use a mixer or your hands to form a soft and smooth dough. - Coat 3 eight inch cake pan heavily with olive oil, about 2 Tbsp per pan. One of the things that makes the crust so yummy is olive oil. Don’t skimp on the olive oil. It makes the crust super yummy. - Divide pizza dough into three pieces and press into bottom of each pan. Pushing up to the edges of the pan. - Cover dough with plastic wrap and allow to rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size. ![Deep Dish Pizza Dough in a Pan](https://www.yourhomebasedmom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/Deep-Dish-Pizza.jpg) - Add pizza sauce to risen dough.
