How To Make Classic “School” Pizza:

  1. Step 1: Prepare the Crust
    • Preheat oven to 475°F (245°C). Spray an 18×13 inch sheet pan with cooking spray and lay parchment paper down.
    • In a large bowl, whisk together flour, powdered milk, sugar, yeast, and salt.
    • Add warm water and oil to the flour mixture. Stir until a soft, uniform batter forms.
    • Spread the dough evenly on the prepared sheet pan. If the dough resists spreading, let it rest for 5 minutes.
    • Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  2. Step 2: Prepare the Filling
    • Brown the Italian sausage and ground chuck in a skillet until crumbled and fully cooked.
    • Season the meat with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Drain the excess grease and set the cooked meat aside.
  3. Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the tomato paste, water, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried basil, and dried rosemary.
  4. Step 4: Assemble and Bake the Pizza
    • Spread the prepared sauce evenly over the partially baked crust.
    • Sprinkle the browned meat mixture over the sauce.
    • Top generously with shredded mozzarella cheese.
    • Bake at 475°F for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust edges are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
    • Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing into squares and serving.
