UPSIDE-DOWN DEEP-DISH SKILLET PIZZA
Steps:
- Bring dough to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place rack in top position in oven (opposite of a normal pizza cooking on a stone close to the bottom)
- While dough is warming up, in a large 12"-14" non-stick oven proof fry pan*(see tip), heat one tablespoon of the oil over medium heat and cook sausage and pepper flakes until the meat has browned, breaking up as it cooks. Pour into a strainer over a bowl.
- Add another tablespoon of oil and cook the mushrooms until browned. Remove to a plate or bowl leaving any fat in the pan.
- Add another tablespoon of oil and place the pepper rings and onion slices in and cook for two minutes then turn off burner. Remove the peppers and onion to a plate and wipe any excess oil from the pan.
- With the pan off the heat, build the upside-down pizza. Start by laying out the pepper and onion rings covering the bottom. Next fill in the holes with the pepperoni slices.
- On top of that spread out the mushrooms then top with the drained sausage, again spreading to the edge.
- Sprinkle on two tablespoons of the Parmesan next and then the mozzarella and finally the provolone, overlapping the slices as you go around the pan.
- Spread the sauce over the provolone going almost to the edge.
- On your cutting board, drizzle a tablespoon of the oil and spread the dough out to be slightly larger than the bottom of the pan, building a thick edge all the way around. Lift the dough and place over the sauce, stretching to go up the sides a bit and then tucked back in so no filling pops out.
- Brush the remaining oil over the top of the dough (which is actually the bottom once flipped) and place on the upper rack and bake 20-25 minutes or until slightly golden.
- Remove the pan, keeping the pot holder in place over the handle. Put an upside-down pizza pan over the pan top and with one quick motion, flip the pan over so that the pizza is sitting upright on the pizza pan. Place back in the oven for 15 more minutes to crisp up the edges. (As it bakes upside down, the sauce and any fat bakes into the crust edge (yummy) and when you invert it, it is soft and spongy and needs to crisp up).
- When it comes out of the oven the second time, sprinkle on the remaining two tablespoons of Parmesan cheese, cut and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
- Heat a 12-inch, well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over a low heat. Lay the pepperoni slices on the bottom of the skillet. Top with the roasted peppers and tomato slices. Arrange the mozzarella over the veggies and pepperoni, then sprinkle with the Cheddar and lay on the provolone. Spoon the marinara sauce over the cheese and spread it around.
- Press the dough out into a circle slightly larger than the skillet. Lay the dough on top of the sauce and carefully tuck the edges down the sides of the skillet. Place in the oven and cook until the crust is golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let sit for a few minutes. Very carefully, place a large plate or platter over the top of the skillet and invert the pizza onto the plate. Garnish with the red and yellow pepper rings and tear the basil leaves over the top.

Tips
- Using fresh dough is key. Store-bought dough can work in a pinch, but fresh dough will give you the best results. You can make your own dough or find it at most grocery stores.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with toppings. Upside-down pizza is a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Try different cheeses, vegetables, and meats to find your favorite combination.
- Be patient when baking the pizza. It takes a little longer to bake upside-down pizza than traditional pizza because the toppings are on the bottom. But it's worth the wait!
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing. This will help prevent the toppings from sliding off.
Conclusion
Upside-down pizza is a fun and easy way to change up your pizza routine. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a new pizza recipe, give upside-down pizza a try!
