Ingredients
Scale
Pizza Base
- 1 ball of pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Toppings
- 1/4 cup pizza sauce
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of your choice (e.g., pepperoni, mushrooms, bell peppers)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: Stretch the pizza dough to fit your 10-inch skillet, ensuring it covers the bottom evenly.
- Heat oil: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Cook bottom crust: Carefully place stretched dough into the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom side turns golden brown and crispy.
- Flip dough: Flip the dough over to cook the other side.
- Add sauce and toppings: Spread pizza sauce evenly over the cooked side, then sprinkle shredded mozzarella and add your desired toppings.
- Cook covered: Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 5-7 minutes until cheese is melted, bubbly, and the crust is fully cooked through.
- Serve: Slide the pizza out of the skillet onto a cutting board, slice, and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
- You can customize the toppings according to your preference or dietary needs.
- Use an oven-safe skillet to avoid damage if you decide to finish under a broiler later.
- Be careful when flipping the dough to avoid tearing or uneven cooking.
- Check the heat regularly to prevent burning the crust.
