Proof the yeast first: Warm the 1 cup of water until its look warm. Stir in the sugar and yeast. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Its should look frothy.
If using a bread maker: Add ingredients to bread maker on dough setting. Skip the manual hand kneading of dough. Place dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza. You could also use a rolling pin.
HAND KNEADING DOUGH:
QUICK METHOD: Knead with your hands until well combined, approximately 3 minutes, then let the mixture rest for 15 minutes. Knead rested dough for 3 minutes. Place dough ball on a heavily floured surface and use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza. You could also use a rolling pin. The roll the ends inwards slightly, this is your crust and prevent any wet ingredients from running off. (Note: You could also make the dough the night before and place dough in refrigerator, let dough sit at room temperature before using.).

Place on a heavily floured surface, cover with dampened cloth, and let rest and rise for 3 to 4 hours at room temperature. After the dough as risen, use your fingers/hands to stretch it and shape it into a round or square pizza.
FOR THE POTATOES: Slice potatoes about 1/8 inch thick. Toss in oil, salt, and pepper and roast at 425 degrees for 10 minutes.
Mix sour cream and ranch together until completed incorporated. Let sit in refrigerator until ready to use to let flavors come together.

Pure heaven! I’ve been making this for years. The Uno clone. The last pics I am posting are a little darker in the crust as we made it in the pizza oven. Just love these pizzas! Uno’s Pizza Skins Pizza Deep dish bliss! We start with our tender deep dish crust. Then we add a thin layer of creamy mozzarella and fill it with whipped and buttered red bliss potatoes. And we top it all off with fresh bacon, Cheddar and a dollop of sour cream.
