Ingredients
- 1 recipe Best-Ever Pizza Dough Recipe (No-Knead), rested overnight
- 1 recipe 5 Minute Pizza Sauce
- 4 cups (12 oz/340 g) shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice (like pepperoni, sausage, olives, diced peppers, etc.)
Notes
- If you don’t have a non-stick skillet, you can make this in a well-season cast iron skillet (as long as it has a lid) or brush a touch of olive oil onto a regular skillet.
- Control the heat: cook over medium/low heat to allow the pizza base time to cook through fully without browning too fast.
- Covering the pan with a lid or baking pan creates steam and allows your pizza base to cook in its own little makeshift oven.
- If topping your pizza with meat, like sausage or chicken, make sure it is fully cooked in advance.
- If you have extra dough, make a dessert pizza: at Step 5 in the instructions, instead of pizza sauce, spread the dough with store bought or Homemade Nutella, sliced bananas and a generous sprinkling of mini marshmallows. Let the toppings heat up and the marshmallows get a little melty before slicing and serving.
