I used this recipe as a starter for deep-dish skillet pizza. Dough and sauce were simplicity itself; I used the whole batch of dough for one pie, 17" skillet, rode the dough up the sides and used about 3/4 of the sauce, on which I sprinkled grated mozzarella, then layered pepperoni, hot italian sausage, (cooked), lightly sauteed mushrooms and red onion, followed by the better part of a pound of mozzarella. Followed the stove then oven procedure, came out FANTASTIC! Wish I could post pics on KZread comments, because this baby was, as Julia would say, "a looker"! My forever go-to for easy, tasty, homemade pizza, later-days to delivery/takeout.

This crust is a miracle. But let me tell you about the most delicious pizza i've ever had, using THIS crust recipe. Use smoked gouda instead of mozzarella, add pepperoni and italian sausage and bell peppers and fresh basil. You can thank me later. Best. Pizza. Ever!

I just made it and it is delicious. Love the crunchy crust.

This is my go-to pizza dough recipe. So easy and delicious!

I made this pizza tonight and it was absolutely delicious! I will make this again and this is going to my regular recipes.

I totally agree, the main reason for Cast Iron Pan Pizza is most home ovens just don't get hot enough. The hybrid method of cooking makes for a crispy crust and doesn't need a pizza oven. Nicely done.

Sorry, Julia, I ❤️ u, but what you're saying @4:45 is not quite correct ... if you poke a risen dough and the indentation does not bounce back at all, you've over-proofed your dough. If you poke it and it bounces back almost completely, it hasn't had enough time to proof; if you poke it and the indentation bounces back halfway, it's just right. "Goldilocks" principle applies here as well. : )

Throwing some seasoning in the skillet before placing the dough is a nice way to spike some more flavor into the crust. Also, making pizza provides a nice reason for owning a 15” cast iron skillet. It can be a beast to handle with one hand, but it makes a nice size pie.

Just made the cast iron chocolate chip recipe, so good, now I will have to try this, I really love my cast iron skillet

I love these ladies.

When you take the pizza out of the skillet you need to put it on a metal rack with holes and let it rest for 2 because if you just take it out of the skillet and lay it on a flat surface because the heat and the steam will not be able to escape and it will make your pizza crust soggier!

I tried this recipe and turned out great! I'm in California and I found the water given in the recipe makes the dough a little dry. Next time I'll add at least a tablespoon more. Also 1 1/8 tsp of yeast was not enough time to rise for 2 hours (room temp around low 70s). I browsed some other recipes and all call for a little more yeast. If you want it done in an hour and half to 2 hours, I'd add more yeast.

I have been making pizza at home for years. I made this recipe today and had to throw out the first dough because the dough was too dry and I couldn't work with it. You can't use the same ratio of water with bread flour and all purpose flour. I don't know why recipes don't mention that. You need more water for the bread flour. I almost gave up but didn't, made another dough batch and I made sure to add more water then the recipe called for. I also used bread flour. You can't let it rise too long because the dough grows so much and has many air bubbles, the dough becomes hard to work with. Anyway, I made it, and it by far is the best pizza I ever made. It tastes like pizza you buy at a restaurant. It was worth the effort, it didn't look as pretty as this one they made but with time and practice, I hope too perfect the look of it. It was worth the effort.

Great results. Delicious! I recommend a heated pan to start.

I am so going to make this! Pizza 🍕😍

Luv you Gals at Americans Kitchen! Great recipes easy and Delish!! Thank You Tremendously!

I have to chuckle at how they make this sound like a new thing. I've been making homemade pizza in cast iron for 45 years or so. In fact I figure some of my cast iron cookware is probably older than these cooks. My kids are the third generation to use some of my stuff.

mmmm that looks so delicious 😋

That pizza and recipe looks amazing!!! I am a home made pizza fan! I have always activated my yeast (warm water and sugar) and noticed you only add it in dry. Is there an advantage or disadvantage to doing that? Thank you!

Great job.....

Es un placer verlas trabajar juntas, son excelentes Chef. Bendiciones!

I think I will try this.

This looks wonderful. I'd take this over any heat up or delivered pizza any day.

Way to go girls, I will try to stove top head start method as soon as I finish my current pizza.

I've made this pizza with my new le creuset skillet, best investment I've made. Highly recommend this style of pizza it's crazy good.

This is a good video.

Awesome

Question: What adaptations would you make if one only has frozen pizza dough from the market? please & thank you :)

Watching you two together is fun. Great chemistry !

I've made a ton of cast iron pizzas, and I've found that a better technique is to put the skillet on the top rack of the cold oven and preheat the two together to 450F while you roll out the dough (500F is too hot, 400F is too cool). Also, a saturated fat like butter, bacon grease, or coconut oil, although less authentic to Italian tradition, makes a far superior crunch that persists after the pizza has gone cold. Bonus: make sure to scatter cheese in between the edge of the crust and the pan, and it'll caramelize and brown into a halo of crunchy goodness that is indescribably good.

@kevincolwell2115

Also, I recommend working the crust out using only hands on an oiled, rather than floured surface. It's a little messy cleanup, but the excess flour really prevents browning on the top of the crust, as was clearly seen in this recipe demo.

I think she opted for the rolling pin because its more beginner-friendly. I'm new to making pizza and whenever I have tried to stretch the dough with my hands the centre always becomes too thin. A rolling pin is a great way for newbies like myself to get good results.

like the way you sneak the free subscription of magazine in. Not fair.

I know you have to follow protocol, but I rested this dough for a day in the fridge and then man-handled the hell out of it into the pan. After rolling and resting, it was much more compliant. I made 2 pies one, just cheese and sauce (and basil), -- the other with red onion, mushrooms (gently sauteed first to knock off water) and pre-cooked leftover BACON-- they came out GREAT! so easy. -- Ive done cake pan versions as well for easy pizza using goat cheese, fresh herbs, white sauces. Thanks for adding to confidence of "Pizza at Home, Anytime". I am no longer afraid. (i never was, but thought that would be a great tag line). Love to the gals at ATK.

Resting it for about 3 days in the fridge is ideal. It develops lots of flavor and gluten, and its "cooperative"- not bouncing back at all.

Brigette and I giggled at the same time, the same way. Haha. 🤤

I have a question: does it make a difference that you're using a convection oven for your recipes, and if so, how to convert to a conventional gas/electric oven?

CN u please also tell about baking it only on stove top whith no oven

For anyone who wants to up the quality of their home pizza I'd suggest to try adding more liquid than the recipe calls for...while the dough may be OK as-is you will find that it's even better if you double the amount of liquid. It will STILL be a MUCH lower amount of hydration than normal pizza dough but I think you'll be happy with the end product.

If i dont have an oven can i finish it over the stove by putting a lid on it?

Can the dough be frozen before baking and used at a later date?

i like the method you guys employ, the cast iron pan makes a great idea into a practical pizza.....it's just amazing you presented this idea as a margherita pizza which it clearly IS NOT. No self-respecting italian pizza maker from the old country would ever let a food processor within 10 feet of a pizza making kitchen. You don't process the sauce, you don't process the dough. You use your hands or you might as well use what's out of a can. Saving time isn't the goal here--or is it?

Oh. My. God. Top it with a ton of cheeses, more flavorful sauce, and red bell peppers and mushrooms and holy crap that’s amazing

Looks great. My attempts at dutch oven pizza always came out too wet and soupy, and I see now that's probably because I used too much sauce, and I shredded the cheese instead of slicing it.

I do this all the time with a cast iron griddle

I made pizza the other night in the oven, it was really good but I wish the crust had been "crustier" on the bottom, no pizza stone so I used cookie sheets - I'll definitely be giving this a go as I do have cast iron; I'm putting more cheese on though.

The thing is, when the dough "goes around" like that, it's not getting kneaded. It's just taking a ride. A good KitchenAid mixer will divide the dough with each hook rotation, working in air instead of doing the "sit and spin" like this processor did.

I just bought two cast iron skillets (8" & 12"). My first meal was to cook a steak. I want to try the pizza, but will need to look for a recipe that doesn't require a food processor. Also, I need suggestions for best tools to use with the skillets. Steel or silicon? I'm guessing my nylon kitchen tools are not going to work.
