2. In a bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
3. Cut in the cold butter until crumbly.
4. Stir in milk just until dough forms.

If using pre-made pizza dough:
Press it into the pan and pre-bake for 8 minutes.

4. Bake

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–35 minutes, or until:

• The cheese is melted and golden,
• Crust edges are cooked through,
• Pepperoni is slightly crisp.

Let sit 10 minutes before slicing — it firms up beautifully.

⭐ Variations

• Chicago-style twist: Add a top crust of pizza dough and seal the edges.
