Equipment

  • 1 Cast Iron Pan (10 inch)

Ingredients

Pizza Dough

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

Favorite Pizza Toppings

  • pepperoni
  • sausage
  • tomatoes
  • olives
  • ham
  • pineapple
  • onions
  • chicken

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, or stand mixer, combine together the 1 cup warm waterr, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast and 1 tablespoon sugar. Mix to combine.
  • Add in 2 cups all purpose flour and the 1 tablespoon sea 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.
