Pizza Hut style recipe success!

[fernoalliance]

I finally perfected the pizza hut taste at home. I just used normal all purpose flour, and I usually like to use a high gluten flour. Normal Oven, no convection, and still a dead on perfect crust. Sauce not so much, but the crust is the tricky part for me.

1 1/3 cups 105F water
4 cups flour (sorry I don't have a weight)
1.7 grams yeast
1 tsp sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons veg oil
1/4 cup milk powder (I hate to use it, because it's not authentic to the real Pizza Hut recipe, but it does make quite a difference!)

I recorded my attempt for youtube!

I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry. When I started this endeavor it was to get away from the "chain pizza" (other than the coolness of building the oven). I will give the crust a try but please post when you get Dominoes figured out.

Im with Les on this, why would you want to replicate some awful food chain pizza?

If you need a good laugh (my cheeks hurt), and have about 12 minutes to kill... watch this video! It's a scream. I do have a twisted sense of humor, but... this guy is funny.

Where did all the flour come from.....he must fall in the flour bin between video cuts from all the vodka he consumes while filming.

I used to make the dough for pizza hut. They used a premix, a bag containing flour, yeast, sugar and a couple other things. I wouldn't say pizza hut pizza is awful, just that pizza hut pizza is its own thing. I ate it every day.

It's a far different style than the neo neopolitan to which I have become accustomed these days though. But pizza trends seem to shift, and I feel the deep dish or thicker crust is going to be making a comeback.
