There was a trend on another site where everyone made pizza so I thought I'd give it a whirl since I'd never made pizza at home that wasn't a take and bake.

The Publix dough worked well... I olive oiled the pans and then wiped out the extreme excess making sure to get the sides as well. I then built the pies and while the oven was warming I put the pans on the stove top to prewarm the bottom and the dough.

The dough was a smidge puffy but overall pretty good

..

The local 4 year old wouldn't eat it though as the pepperoni was under the cheese and not on top. Everyone is a critic.. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

I thought the principle of using cast iron is that it goes into the oven until it’s screaming hot, and then you drop the pizza in?

you know ive heard that too.. ill give it a whirl next time.

that would eliminate the need to warm it on the stove top and essentially sear the dough...

ive been told by a friend that aldi makes good pizza dough.. so more testing is required lol

Make your own dough. It’s easy. It doesn’t have any special ingredients or equipment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IWsV-8jSmI
