Crust:

Preheat oven to 475º - spray pan with Pam and lay parchment paper down (pam makes it stick)

In a large bowl - flour, pow milk, sugar, yeast, salt - wisk to blend

Add Oil to hot water (110 - 115°) - pour into flour mixture

Stir with a wooden spoon until batter forms - don't worry about lumps - you just want no dry spots.

Spread dough into pan using fingertips till its even. if dough doesn't want to cooperate let rest 5 min and try again. bake just crust 8-10min - remove from oven and set aside.

Brown meats till it resembles crumbles - set aside and drain meat also. Add salt and pepper while cooking.
