A pan dough engineered to hit the form factor of a 14-inch Godfather's original pie: bread flour at about 56% hydration with sugar, oil, and dry non-fat milk for a soft, tender crumb. The generous yeast points to a same-day or short ferment.

Proof the panned dough in a warm, humid spot until risen to the desired level.
