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.

The crust was a little too crispy for my taste, but overall this pizza was pretty good.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. I love that I can use my cast iron skillet to make the pizza.

Amazingly easy and delicious! I used a store-bought pizza dough and it turned out perfect. The cast iron skillet gave the crust a nice crispy texture.
