Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Toppings of choice (e.g. pepperoni, vegetables, etc.)
- 1 tablespoon Butter (optional, for greasing skillet)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, and mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Divide the dough into two equal portions, and let them rest under a kitchen towel for about 10 minutes.
Lightly grease a large skillet with butter or olive oil and preheat over medium heat.
Roll out one portion of dough into a circle slightly smaller than the skillet. Gently place the dough into the hot skillet.
Cook the dough for 2-3 minutes on one side until bubbles form and the bottom is golden brown. Flip the dough.
Spread a thin layer of pizza sauce over the cooked side of the dough.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce, then add your favorite toppings.
Cover the skillet with a lid to allow the cheese to melt, cooking for an additional 3-5 minutes until the crust is fully cooked and the cheese is bubbly.
Repeat the process with the second portion of dough.
Remove each pizza from the skillet and let cool for 2 minutes before slicing and serving.
