1. In a large bowl, mix milk powder, sugar, yeast, salt and 2 cups of flour. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120-130F. Add to dry ingredients; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (Dough will be sticky).

2. Turn dough onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, this should take about 8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled; about 45 minutes. Grease three 9inch round baking pans.

3. Punch down dough. Turn onto a floured surface; divide into thirds. Press dough to fit bottom and 1 inch up the sides of the pan. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled; 30 minutes.

4. In a skillet, cook sausage over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, or until no longer pink and then break the sausage into crumbles; drain. In a bowl, mix oil, garlic and seasonings.

5. Preheat oven to 450F. Using fingertips, press several dimples into the dough. Brush tops with oil mixture. Spread with pizza sauce; top with sausage, onion, mushrooms and cheese. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crusts are golden brown.
