1. In the beginning, preheat your oven to 475 degrees then spray pan with Pam and lay Parchment paper down (Pam makes it stick)
2. Pick a large bowl wisk in flour, powdered milk, sugar, yeast, salt together, until blended.
3. Next add oil to hot water (110 to 115 degrees) and pour into your mixture

4. Using a wooden spoon, stir until batter forms and please don’t worry about lumps – you just want no dry spots.
5. Then spread dough into pan using fingertips until it’s even. It's wise to let rest 5 minutes and try again in case dough doesn’t want to cooperate.
1. Make sure to bake just the crust for 8-10 minutes, then remove from oven and set aside.
6. Okay now, brown meats until it resembles crumbles; set aside and drain meat.
7. Once done, get out the pizza sauce – to partially baked crust, assemble:
↛
1. Sauce – spread all over crust

4. Bake at 475 degrees until cheese melts and begins to brown, about 8 to 10 minutes
5. Make sure to remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes
6. Cut in slices and serve!
