Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound pizza dough at room temperature
- 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce
- 1 cup shredded whole milk mozzarella cheese
- 10 lices pepperoni
Instructions
- Adjust the oven rack to the middle position, and preheat the oven to 500F.
- Grease a 12-inch cast iron skillet with the olive oil.
- Roll out the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared skillet and press into the bottom and up the sides of the skillet.
- Spread the sauce onto the bottom of the dough leaving an inch border without sauce.
- Sprinkle most of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
- Arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese, and sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.
- For crispier crust, place the skillet on the stove, and cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven, and bake for about 6-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust has turned golden brown.
- For softer crust, bake for about 6-10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust has turned golden brown.
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven, and let the pizza cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Remove to a cutting board, and slice to serve.
