School Cafeteria Pourable Pizza Crust image

Pourable Pizza Crust from a quantity 1988 USDA school cafeteria recipe. Made in a half-sheet pan (13" x 18" x 1") . The recipe makes a nice, soft bread like crust. This is the pizza crust that's been served at schools for the past 25 years. This recipe would be really good for something like a kids birthday party. The dough has the consestency of very thick pancake batter. You pour it into a sheet pan, with the help of a rubber spatula. I like it because it saves all the rolling and fussing with normal pizza dough.
