Skillet Pizza
Make pizza night 10 times more fun with this Skillet Pizza. It’s baked in a cast iron skillet, has an extra thick and delightfully crispy crust, and is topped with two kinds of cheese and pepperoni.
Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 1/2 ball pizza dough
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup marinara sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- 10 pieces pepperoni
- 2 tbsp fresh basil chopped, or more to taste
- red pepper flakes to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500° and place the cast iron skillet in the oven while it's preheating.
- Once the oven reaches 500°, remove the skillet and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then use a paper towel to wipe the oil all over the skillet.
- Flour a clean work surface (I used a silpat mat), then roll the dough into a circle and transfer it to the oiled skillet. NOTE: If you're using an 8" or 9" cast iron, only use HALF of the ball of pizza dough (save the other half for a second pizza or another use). If you're using a 10" skillet, use the whole ball of dough.
- Add the marinara, spreading it over the dough, then top it with the mozzarella, parmesan and pepperoni.
- Place the skillet in the oven (careful, it's hot!) and bake the pizza for 15 minutes.
- Top the pizza with fresh basil and red pepper flakes. Slice and enjoy!
