A homemade Pizza Hut-style BBQ Meatlovers pan pizza with bacon, sausage and pepperoni

Ingredients

Home-kitchen amounts for 2–3 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Medium.

  • Pan dough: 2½ cups (375 g) plain flour, 1 tbsp dry milk powder, 1 tbsp sugar, 2¼ tsp instant yeast, 1 tsp salt, 1 cup (250 ml) warm water, 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp vegetable oil, for the pan
  • ½ cup (125 ml) BBQ sauce
  • 200 g mozzarella, grated (low-moisture, grated from a block)
  • 80 g pepperoni slices
  • 80 g cooked Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 80 g cooked bacon, chopped
  • 80 g sliced leg ham
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan

Method

  1. Whisk the flour, dry milk powder, sugar, yeast and salt together. Add the water and oil and knead 5–7 minutes until smooth. Cover and rise 1–1.5 hours until doubled.
  2. Pour the oil into a 28 cm round cake pan or cast-iron skillet and tilt so it coats the bottom and climbs the sides. Press the dough to the edges. Rest 20 minutes. Heat the oven to 240°C.
  3. Spread the BBQ sauce to the edge. Scatter half the mozzarella, then the pepperoni, sausage, bacon and ham, then the rest of the mozzarella and the parmesan.
  4. Bake 15–18 minutes until the edge is deep golden and the cheese is bubbling.
  5. Rest 3 minutes in the pan, then slide out, slice and serve. Tip: cook the sausage and bacon before they go on — raw meat steams the base soggy — and use BBQ sauce as the base, not tomato; a Meatlovers on tomato sauce is just a Supreme with a different name.
