Chicago-Style Butter and Garlic Pizza Crust image

This is a recipe I got from Rachael Ray's magazine. It looks so good and I want to try it soon. She got the recipe from nine-time World Pizza champion Tony Gemignani (a pizza throwing champion). This is a deep-dish pizza baked in a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will make 1 14-inch pizza. The number of servings is just an estimate. The rising time is included in the prep time.
