STOVETOP SKILLET PIZZA



Stovetop Skillet Pizza image

I've seen several recipes for pizza not baked in an oven but this is my easier-to-make version. Honestly, it can be cooking 5 minutes after you decide to make it. What are you waiting for? Get measuring! You're going to love how easy this is. =^..^=

Categories     Pizza

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 10

some cooking spray
1 c all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp (heaping) dried yeast
1 tsp honey or white sugar
2/3 c lukewarm water
some pizza sauce (whatever you like or homemade)
some pizza toppings (your choice)
some shredded mozzarella cheese (again, your choice)

Steps:

  • 1. Find a medium-sized deeper skillet with a lid. (Any other size may change the cooking time, but just watch carefully. It's all good.) Mist it well with cooking spray.
  • 2. Add flour, baking powder, salt, yeast, and sugar (if using) to the skillet. Stir together.
  • 3. Pour in lukewarm water (warm like "baby bath water") and honey, if you're using that instead of the sugar. Stir together, then spread over the bottom of the skillet.
  • 4. Top crust dough with sauce, toppings, and cheese.
  • 5. Put the skillet on the stove & cover with a lid. Turn the heat to MEDIUM and the timer to 5 minutes.
  • 6. When the timer goes off, tilt the lid a little to vent, turn the heat down to MEDIUM-LOW, and set the timer for 10 minutes.
  • 7. At this point, lift the bottom edge of the pizza to look at the crust. If you have a gas stove, it might be browned enough for your liking. If you have an electric stove, you might need more time. Serve or cover (but still vent) and reset the timer. Just a suggestion... When you figure out what times & settings work best for your stove, note them down for next time. (My old electric stove takes 5 minutes on MEDIUM, then about 13 minutes on one notch lower than MEDIUM.) =^..^=
  • 8. Once the bottom of the crust meets with your approval, loosen the sides of the pizza, if necessary, and slide it out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Slice & serve!

SKILLET DEEP DISH PIZZA

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, sliced into thin rounds (about 8 links)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 pound fresh pizza dough, at room temperature
10 ounces whole milk low-moisture mozzarella, thinly sliced
1 cup your favorite marinara sauce or 1 1/2 cups crushed and strained San Marzano tomatoes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried oregano
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Cook the sausage rounds until they turn brown on each side, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Grease the inside of a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with the butter. Place the pizza dough in the center and spread evenly towards the bottom edge and 1 1/2 inches up the sides.
  • The order of topping layers is very important to achieving a crisp bottom pizza crust. Begin with the sausage. Evenly lay the sausage on the dough, followed by the mozzarella and marinara. Sprinkle the garlic and oregano on top. Finish with the Parmesan and drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Place the skillet pizza on the bottom rack of the oven and cook until the edge of the crust is golden brown and crusty, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

EASY CAST-IRON SKILLET PIZZA



Easy Cast-Iron Skillet Pizza image

This recipe is sponsored by Target. I am certifiably pizza-obsessed. Several years ago, I went to a pizza school called Verace Pizza Napoletana, whose mission is to "defend the honor of Neapolitan pizza." To me, there is no pizza better than a Neapolitan pizza margherita. A thin, bubbly crust made of double-zero flour, simple tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil, and fresh basil, cooked in 90 seconds in a 900 degrees F (480 degrees C) wood-burning pizza oven. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Let's be honest, though, it's not realistic to make that kind of pizza at home very often, if at all. If you find yourself with a hankering for pizza, and you want to whip up a homemade version without waiting for dough to rise, this is the recipe for you. Homemade pizza dough with just two ingredients-Greek yogurt and self-rising flour-and no wait time for it to rise. It's food science at its best!

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons extra-virgin oil
1 cup (240 milliliters) Greek yogurt
1 cup (125 grams) self-rising flour
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) pizza sauce (jarred or homemade), such as Good & Gather™️ Traditional Pizza Sauce
4 ounces (1 cup) (115 grams) grated low-moisture part-skim mozzarella, such as Good & Gather™️ Mozzarella Cheese
2 tablespoons (1/2 ounce) grated Parmesan, plus more for serving, such as Good & Gather™️ Parmesan Cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Brush a 12-inch (30.5-centimeter) cast-iron skillet with 1 tablespoon of the oil.
  • Mix the yogurt, flour and salt together in a medium bowl with your hands until it becomes a ball, then flatten into a disk and press into the skillet.
  • Brush the pizza dough with the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 centimeter) border around the sides, for the crust. Sprinkle the cheeses evenly over the sauce. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until bubbly and lightly browned, then let cool in the pan for 3 minutes.
  • Carefully slide the pizza out onto a cutting board. Top with more grated Parmesan, slice and serve.

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you can use a regular skillet, but make sure to grease it well.
  • Use a pizza dough that is thin and pliable. You can use store-bought pizza dough or make your own.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet. If you are making a large pizza, cook it in batches.
  • Cook the pizza over medium heat. If the heat is too high, the crust will burn before the toppings are cooked through.
  • Keep an eye on the pizza while it is cooking. You may need to adjust the heat or rotate the skillet to ensure that the pizza cooks evenly.
  • Once the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown, the pizza is done.

Conclusion:

Skillet pizza is a quick and easy weeknight meal that the whole family will love. It is also a great way to use up leftover ingredients. With a few simple tips, you can make a delicious skillet pizza that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
