Mix the following together:

6 C HOT water
1 C powdered milk
3 T salt
6 LEVEL T Sugar
1 C Wesson Oil

Then add:
9 C Flour.  Mix Well

Meanwhile, in a 2 cup measure, place 1 C Warm Water (105-110 degrees Fahrenheit)
1/2 tsp Sugar
3 T Yeast.

Mix well.  Let rest 7-10 minutes to ensure the yeast is active.  Add yeast mixture to the above mixture.  Then add 8-9 more cups of flour.  Knead for 15 minutes.  Place in LARGE, greased bowl and cover with a damp dish towel. Let rise until doubled in size.  About 1-1/2 hours.  Punch down dough and divide into five loaves. Place in greased pans and cover.  Let rise till doubled. (about 45 minutes).  Bake in a 325 F. oven for 1 hour.  Cool completely and store in bags in the freezer.

(You can use half whole wheat bread and half white bread) 

* I have my Mom's old Bosch Mixer and it does all the kneading for me.  I don't know if you have to knead by hand if you should knead longer or not.

** Hands down, the best bread in the universe.

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees.  Press crusts into ONE 1/2 Sheet Pan.  Bake for 10 minutes.  Remove from oven.  Meanwhile, Brown meat.  At end of browning, add garlic and cook till fragrant.  In separate pan, add olive oil and cook onions over med-lo heat until caramelized. (About 10-15 minutes)

Combine Sour Cream and Pesto. Spread over top of pizza crust.  Spread Chicken and onions evenly over the sauce.  Sprinkle with Cheese.  Bake at 350 for 25 additional minutes or until edges of crust are golden.
