Cast-Iron Skillet Pizza
I would name this "Caprese Pizza." It's heavenly!
Prep: 10 min | Cook: 20 min | Yield: 2 (9 to 10 inch) pizzas
Ingredients
- 1 pound store-bought pizza dough (room temperature)
- 1 ripe tomato, thinly sliced
- 1/4 pound fresh mozzarella cheese, diced
- Coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Filippo Berio Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup shredded fresh basil
Instructions
- Heat well-oiled cast-iron or nonstick 10 or 12 inch frying pan over medium heat for 5 minutes.
- Divide dough in half; roll one half into round 1 inch smaller than diameter of pan.
- Cook dough in hot pan until dough begins to rise and bottom starts to brown. Using metal spatula, turn carefully. Layer half the tomato slices over dough; scatter half the mozzarella over top. Lower heat to medium-low; cook until mozzarella melts.
- Using metal spatula, transfer pizza to cutting board. Sprinkle with salt; drizzle with half the olive oil.
- Cut into wedges; sprinkle half the basil over top.
- Repeat with remaining ingredients.
