Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Warm water (about 110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for dough)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for skillet)
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Toppings (e.g., pepperoni, sautéed vegetables, fresh basil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough starts to form.
Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 3–5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the dough back in the bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, well-seasoned skillet (preferably cast iron) over medium heat.
Roll or stretch the dough into a circle slightly smaller than the diameter of the skillet.
Place the dough into the skillet and cook for 1–2 minutes until the bottom begins to set and turn golden brown.
Flip the dough, reduce the heat to medium-low, and spread the pizza sauce evenly across the top.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by your desired toppings.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 5–7 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
Remove the skillet from heat, let the pizza cool slightly, and then slice to serve.
