Pizza Hut Pan Pizza.

I was really Jones-ing for pizza hut , but had no desire to go out on the rain with all three kids.  There is something that makes me want that deep dish, greasy, comfort food which is different from the classy thin crust pizza we usually have.
Found this SUPER recipe online and used my giant cast iron skillet, which has been seasoned and waiting for an occasion such as this to justify it's giant space being taken up in my cupboard.

Definitely worth the space taken up in my cupboard, especially when i realized the finished pazza takes only about 10 minutes in the oven.

Dough

• 1 1/3 cups Warm water (105F)
• 1/4 cup Non−fat dry milk
• 1/2 teas. Salt
• 4 cups Flour
• 1 Tbls. Sugar
• 1 pk. Dry yeast

• 9 Oz. Vegetable oil (3 oz. per pan):

 Put yeast, sugar, salt, and dry milk in a large (2 qt.) bowl. 
Add water and stir to mix well. Allow to sit for two minutes. 
Add oil and stir again. 
Add flour and stir until dough forms and flour is absorbed. 
Turn out on to a flat surface and knead for about 10 minutes. (I used my mixer's dough hook.)
Divide dough into three balls. In three 9″ cake pans, put 3 Oz. of oil in each making sure it is spread evenly.  (Or One very large pizza.)
Using a rolling pin, roll out each dough ball to about a 9″ circle. 
Place in cake pans or cast iron skillet, oiled with olive oil.
Spray the outer edge of dough with oil.
