Delicious Cast Iron Skillet Pizza Recipe

Ingredients

Servings:
5
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour (For the pizza dough)
  • 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast (To help the dough rise)
  • 1 cup Water (Warm water for activating yeast)
  • 1 cup Pizza sauce (For topping the pizza)
  • 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (For topping the pizza)

Instructions

6 steps

  1. Prepare the Dough

    In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, and warm water.

    Ensure the water is not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
  2. Knead the Dough

    Knead the mixture for about 5-7 minutes until smooth.

    You can use a stand mixer with a dough hook for easier kneading.
  3. Let Dough Rise

    Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rise for 1 hour.

    Place it in a warm area for best results.
  4. Preheat the Skillet

    Place your cast iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 475°F (245°C).

    This helps to achieve a crispy crust.
  5. Assemble the Pizza

    Roll out the dough and place it in the hot skillet. Spread pizza sauce and sprinkle cheese.

    Add additional toppings if desired, like pepperoni or vegetables.
  6. Bake the Pizza

    Bake in the oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden.

    Keep an eye on it to prevent burning.
