Ingredients
- For the Crust:
- 2 cups warm water
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup powdered milk
- 1 teaspoon salt
- For the Topping:
- 2 cups pizza sauce
- 1 pound ground beef, cooked and drained
- 8 ounces mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and grease a large sheet pan.
- In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit until foamy (about 5–10 minutes).
- Stir in vegetable oil, powdered milk, salt, and flour until a soft dough forms.
- Press dough evenly into prepared sheet pan and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Par-bake crust for 10 minutes until just set.
- Spread pizza sauce over crust, then add cooked ground beef and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella.
- Return to oven and bake for 12–15 minutes until cheese is melted and golden.
- Cool slightly, then slice into squares and serve.
Notes
- Mix cheddar with mozzarella for a cheesier topping.
- Add Italian seasoning to sauce or meat for extra flavor.
- Use a sheet pan for the authentic square cafeteria look.
- Cheese-only versions are simple and always a hit.
- Crust can be baked ahead and finished with toppings later.
