Homemade Deep Dish Pizza

Yeah okay so anybody can make a pizza. However, Alex and I both absolutely love the way I've been making my homemade pizzas, so I wanted to share it with you. You can, of course, substitute any of the toppings for toppings of your choice.

For the dough:

2 packages of Compliments pizza dough mix
1 cup hot water

Follow steps on the packages of dough mix. Essentially, put the two packages of mix in a medium sized bowl, add a cup of hot water. Stir with a fork until it's all mixed together, then let it sit for 10 minutes (or longer). Grease a deep dish pizza pan and oil your hands. Put the dough onto the pan and spread it out, stretching it over the whole pan and up the sides.

Toppings:

1 small can of pizza sauce
Sliced pepperoni
Sliced mushrooms
Chopped onion
Chopped green pepper
Shredded mozzarella cheese

Pour the can of sauce on the dough and spread it out over the whole bottom of the pan. Cover with pepperoni, mushrooms, onion and green pepper. Cover all of that with the shredded cheese.

Bake pizza in a 450F oven for approx. 18 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes before cutting.
