Ever since I bought a stand mixer I've been a dough making maniac. This is by far the best pizza I've made yet. I even made the sauce from fresh tomatoes. Pan pizza is my favorite and this beats all the local pizza places for under $5 a pie.
Toppings: Pepperoni, jalapeno, mushroom, red onion, and bacon.
Dough (makes 3 pizzas in 11" skillet)
Total = $2.31
This dough recipe is for 3 pizzas in an 11" skillet. Mix all the dry ingredients, then mix in oil, then slowly mix in water. Knead for 10 min or stand mix for 5. Oil a large bowl and let dough rise covered until doubled 60-90min in a warm place. Dump dough onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 3 pieces.
Preheat oven 450F. In a cast iron skillet coat the bottom in olive oil then spread dough out to edges. If the dough want to contract a lot, let it rest for 5 min then press it out again. Cover with sauce, cheese and toppings
Bake for ~23 min until the cheese is melted and golden.
Take the skillet out of the oven and trace the edges with a knife to free the cheese edge. Then turn on a burner to medium and cook the bottom for around 5 minutes to develop an extra crispy bottom.
You're the GOAT!
