Pizza in a Cast Iron Pan

  Pizza is a beloved food around the world. It is a versatile dish that can be adapted to any taste. One of the best ways to make pizza is in a cast iron pan. This method results in a crispy crust and a perfectly cooked pizza.

 

Ingredients

 

1 (12-inch) ball of pizza dough

1 (14.5 ounces) can of crushed tomatoes

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, peppers)

Instructions

 

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).

Place the cast iron pan in the oven to preheat.

In a small bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

Once the oven and pan are preheated, remove the pan from the oven and carefully add the pizza dough.

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough.

Top with the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.

Add your desired toppings.

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.  

Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.  

Tips

 

If you don't have a cast iron pan, you can use a baking sheet. However, the pizza will not be as crispy.

You can use any type of pizza dough you like.

Be creative with your toppings! There are endless possibilities.

If you want a crispier crust, you can par-bake the dough before adding the toppings.
