Pourable Pizza Crust from a quantity 1988 USDA school cafeteria recipe. Made in a half-sheet pan (13" x 18" x 1") . The recipe makes a nice, soft bread like crust. This is the pizza crust that's been served at schools for the past 25 years. This recipe would be really good for something like a kids birthday party. The dough has the consestency of very thick pancake batter. You pour it into a sheet pan, with the help of a rubber spatula. I like it because it saves all the rolling and fussing with normal pizza dough.

Tips:

  • For a crispier crust, preheat your oven to the highest temperature it can go before adding the pizza dough. This will help create a quick burst of heat that will help to crisp up the crust.
  • If you don't have a pizza stone, you can bake the pizza on a lightly greased baking sheet. Just be sure to preheat the baking sheet in the oven before adding the pizza dough.
  • To prevent the pizza from sticking to the baking sheet or pizza stone, sprinkle it with a little cornmeal or flour before adding the pizza dough.
  • Use a pizza peel to transfer the pizza from the counter to the oven. This will help to prevent the pizza from tearing.
  • If you don't have a pizza peel, you can use a large spatula to transfer the pizza to the oven. Just be careful not to tear the dough.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. The exact baking time will vary depending on the thickness of your pizza crust and the toppings you are using.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to prevent the cheese from running off the pizza.
