Ingredients
- 13.8 oz refrigerated pizza dough
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- Pepperoni
- Olive oil
- Basil for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9"-10" skillet with some olive oil, press your pizza dough onto bottom and up the sides of skillet as much as you can.
- Spread your pizza sauce over your crust, you can use your own homemade or jarred sauce.
- Top with shredded mozzarella cheese, garlic powder and oregano.
- Top with your pepperoni slices then, brush your crust with olive oil. Bake in oven for 15-17 minutes until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Notes
- Just lightly grease your cast iron skillet with olive oil, you don't want an over abundance or the dough itself will not stretch.
- If you are using refrigerated dough from a can, we usually roll it into a ball and stretch it a little bit on a flat surface before placing it into the pan to stretch to fit.
- As noted above there are so many different recipes you can create with this Cast Iron Skillet Pizza recipe that the choices are endless.
- You can use freshly shredded, bagged shredded or even fresh sliced mozzarella for this recipe, we have tested them all and all came out amazing.
- Press this dough up the sides of the skillet as best as you can, it will like to pull back but keep pulling, eventually it will stay in place.
- To get a nice brown on the crust, brush with that extra olive oil and even a little bit of garlic salt or powder for extra flavor.
