10-Minute Skillet Pizza
This 10-Minute Skillet Pizza features a crisp, pan-cooked dough base ready in minutes topped with melted mozzarella and pepperoni. Cooking the pizza dough in a cast iron skillet gives it a browned, slightly crisp crust contrasting the soft melted cheese and tender sauce topping. The quick stovetop method allows for speedy preparation and serves fresh pizzas with directly melted cheese.

Ingredients
- 1 pound pizza dough at room temp for 1 hour (I buy mine at Trader Joe's or make your favorite homemade dough, fresh
- all-purpose flour for dusting surface
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- ½ cup pizza sauce or as desired, or marinara sauce
- 3 cups mozzarella cheese
- 15 pepperoni or as desired
- parsley optional for garnishing, fresh
Instructions
- To a floured work surface, add the dough and roll out into a 10 to 12-inch diameter circle. If dough is overly springy and resistant to rolling easily, allow it to rest at room temperature for another 30 minutes or so.
- To a 12-inch cast iron skillet, add the olive oil, and transfer the dough to the skillet.
- Cook over medium-high heat until the bottom side is lightly browned, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Flip the dough, turn the heat to low, add the pizza sauce (leave a bare 1/2-inch perimeter), evenly top with the cheese, pepperoni, cover skillet with a lid, and cook until the cheese has melted, about 2 to 3 minutes. Alternatively, if you prefer your cheese to be more browned + melted rather than just melted (which is what I prefer), place the skillet underneath the broiler for about 2 minutes, or until the cheese is as browned as desired. If you're broiling, watch it very closely so it doesn't burn.
- Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately. Pizza is best warm and fresh.
