Equipment
- Cast-Iron Skillet
- Mixing Bowl
- Rolling Pin
- Spatula
Ingredients
- 2 cups shredded Muenster cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 lb ball pizza dough
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- pepperoni slices
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to make it easier to stretch and shape.
- Generously coat your cast iron skillet with vegetable oil to help create a crispy crust.
- Place the pizza dough into the skillet and gently stretch it to fit the shape of the pan, covering the bottom and slightly up the sides.
- Sprinkle shredded Muenster cheese evenly over the dough, then add shredded mozzarella cheese on top, covering the dough completely.
- Arrange pepperoni slices on top of the cheese as desired.
- Spoon the pizza sauce over the pepperoni, either spreading it evenly or drizzling in stripes.
- Bake the skillet in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden and the crust is crispy.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes to allow the cheese to set. Use a spatula to release the edges, then cut into squares for serving.
Notes
- Preheat the skillet in the oven before adding dough for extra crispy crust.
- Experiment with different cheese blends to tailor the flavor to your liking.
- Let the dough rise longer for a fluffier pizza base.
- Use homemade pizza sauce for richer taste.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in a skillet or oven.
