EASY PAN PIZZA



Easy Pan Pizza image

This is the best pan pizza you will ever have! Using a cast iron skillet makes it crispy and golden brown. I always remove some of the moisture from mushrooms & veggie toppings and "degrease" the pepperoni for a never-soggy, crispy crust. - Jenny Jones

Time 4h30m

Yield Makes one 10-inch pizza

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups (6.3 ounces) bread flour (all-purpose flour works too) (*corrected from 7 oz.)
1/4 teaspoon yeast - instant or active dry
3/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water (cold or hot - see below)
1 Tablespoon olive oil for greasing pan
1/3 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces part skim mozzarella cheese, hand shredded
toppings of your choice (I use reduced fat turkey pepperoni, peppers, onions, and mushrooms)

Steps:

  • ORIGINAL WAY (Overnight using cold water) Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Add cold water and combine well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand on counter top 12 to 18 hours.
  • FASTER WAY (Using hot water) Combine flour, yeast, and salt in a medium bowl. Add hot tap water (120 - 130° F) and combine well. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let stand on counter top for 3 hours.
  • After the resting time of either the overnight 12-18 hrs or faster 3 hrs, dough will be double in size, puffy & soft, and dotted with bubbles. Sprinkle the dough with a little flour and stir briefly until it forms a ball.
  • Grease a 9 or 10-inch cast iron skillet.
  • Place dough in skillet, spreading close to the edge with oiled fingers. Cover with a pot lid or plate and let rest at least an hour, preferably two. It will continue spreading as it rests.
  • Preheat oven to highest temperature - 500/550° F.
  • Add sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  • Cook on a stove-top burner on medium-high heat for 3 minutes.
  • Place in oven and bake about 15 minutes (start checking at 12).

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

Three 1-pound balls refrigerated pizza dough, at room temperature (see Cook's Note)
Olive oil, for greasing the pans
3/4 cup favorite barbecue sauce, plus more for garnish (I like smoky Kansas City sauce)
2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus more for garnish
2 cups shredded Colby-Cheddar cheese blend
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half a 4-ounce package sliced turkey pepperoni
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese
1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
2/3 cup pizza sauce
Half an 8-ounce package sliced mushrooms
1/2 red bell pepper, sliced
1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced
2 cups fresh baby spinach
2 cups shredded Italian blend cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Grease 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Place one dough ball in each baking sheet, and stretch and press the dough to fit into the pan.
  • For the BBQ Chicken Pizza: Toss 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce with the chicken. Spread the remaining 1/2 cup barbecue sauce over one pizza dough. Top with the chicken, red onion, cilantro and cheese.
  • For the Pepperoni Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over another pizza dough. Top with pepperoni and cheese.
  • For the Veggie Pizza: Spread the pizza sauce over the third pizza dough. Top with mushrooms, both bell peppers, spinach and cheese.
  • Bake all of the pizzas until the crusts are browned and crispy and the cheese is melted, rotating the pans as needed to cook the pizzas evenly, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the pizzas stand 5 minutes before cutting. Drizzle the BBQ Chicken Pizza with additional barbecue sauce and sprinkle with cilantro, if desired. Sprinkle the Pepperoni Pizza with fresh basil.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a pizza stone or baking sheet. If you don't have either, you can use a cast-iron skillet.
  • Make sure the dough is at room temperature before you start working with it. This will make it easier to stretch and shape.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza with toppings. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
  • Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the cheese set.

Conclusion:

Pan pizza is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a pizza that is sure to please everyone at your table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give pan pizza a try. You won't be disappointed!
