Homemade Pizza

It’s Friday night and you know what that means…Pizza Night!! You call for delivery and it’s going to take 2 hours to get a pizza, NO WAY!! Make your own homemade pizza instead! It is so much better and it won’t cost you an extra dollar or more to add all the toppings you want! You can make the pizza of your dreams right at home, in less time!!

We are HUGE fans of this cast iron pizza recipe! It really is so easy to make, get the kids involved with this one. They can help make the dough, roll it out and they love chosing their own toppings for the pizza. Using cast iron to cook the pizza makes it so easy to get the perfect crisp bottom and crust.

How to make Cast Iron Pizza

To make this simple recipe for Cast Iron Pizza, start by making this simple Homemade Pizza Dough Recipe. You can purchase ready made pizza dough at the store that will work perfect in this recipe as well, we usually just make the dough as it is so easy and we always have these ingredients on hand.

Step one is to get the pizza dough ready and rising. While the dough rises for about 30 minutes, take your cast iron pan and place it in the oven to heat up with the oven, don’t skip this step!

Roll out the dough and place into the bottom of the cast iron pan.

With your dough in the pan, top with homemade pizza sauce, cheese and your favorite toppings! Brush the crust with olive oil and sprinkle with a little garlic salt.

Place it into the blazing hot oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, until the crust is golden brown, the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is crispy around the edges..YUM!!

Carefully take the pan from the oven and you should be able to slide the pizza right from the pan onto a clean counter or cutting board. Slice into two slices, one for you and one for you!! I’m kidding, you can get at least 8 good slices out of this pizza.

I am using a 10 inch Lodge Cast Iron Pan for this pizza, it is perfect, it has high sides which it make it perfect for making a nice, thick crust.

Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iorn Pan (10 inch)

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sea salt
  • 2-2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce

Favorite Pizza Toppings

    Instructions

    • In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, combine together the water, olive oil, yeast and sugar. Mix to combine.
    • Add in 2 cups of the flour and the salt. Mix together. Pour out onto a floured surface and knead for 4-5 minutes, adding additional flour as needed to produce a soft ball of dough. It should not be sticky.
    • Place the dough back into a greased mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30-45 minutes.
    • Place cast iron pan into the oven and heat to 450º F
    • Punch down the dough and cut into two equal halves. Cover the half you are not working with to keep it from drying out.
    • Roll the dough out into a 10-12 inch circle. Carefully place the dough into the well greased cast iron pan. Fold in any dough around the edges to form the crust.
    • Top the pizza with desired sauce and toppings.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

    Notes

    • Optional, you can brush the crust with a little olive oil and sprinkle on garlic salt for a little extra flavor.
