Cast Iron Sourdough Pizza

 

I have a confession. 

 

I think one of my love languages is pizza!

 

Well, feeling yummy and warm is a love language of mine and I think pizza checks all those boxes. I don’t discriminate.

 

A few weeks ago I was finally able to share our pizza dough reel and I wanted to get a recipe typed up for it! It’s so ridiculously easy sometimes I wish it was a little harder!

 

 Equipment Needed:

12” Cast Iron Skillet (or size of choice, you will have to adjust dough amount for skillet size)

Kitchen Basting Brush 

Box grater 

 

It’s. That. Simple.

 

I think this is most important step of this whole process: preheat your cast iron skillet

 

I pop my skillet into the oven and turn it on to 450 degrees. Once it dings its preheated, I don’t mess with it for another 20 minutes if not longer. I’m not one of those people who preheat their Dutch ovens for one hour before baking bread. But it does make a difference in this pizza recipe to achieve the nice crispy, pan style pizza. 

 

As your skillet is preheating, gather all ingredients. I use around 400 to 500 grams of pizza dough. Again, adjust amount of dough by the size of skillet you have and by how much crust you enjoy. 

 

Feel free to use the tomatoes of your choice, the “best” are San Marzano whole peeled tomatoes. Pour those tomatoes in a strainer and crush with your hands. Leave to continue draining while you prepare the rest of the items. 

 

Gather your cheese, shred with box grater, slice, or grate whatever you prefer. 

 

I like using roasted garlic when it comes to pizza, breads, and life in general ha! You can add roasted, crushed, or fresh garlic if you desire. It can also be completely omitted. Most pizza seasonings will have dried garlic in the blend. 

 

 

 

Sourdough Cast Iron Pizza

Makes One (1) 12 Inch Pizza 

 

 

 

1. Place 12” cast iron skillet in oven and preheat to 450 degrees. 
2. Pour tomatoes into collider and discard extra juices. Crush tomatoes with hands, seasoning with pizza blend, and leave to continue draining. 
3. Slice mozzarella and if desired, season with olive oil and pizza seasoning. Grate Parmesan.
4. After all your ingredients are prepared, roll dough out to roughly 12-14inches in diameter. 
5. Carefully pull cast iron skillet out of the oven and oil, with your basting brush smooth oil around bottom and sides of skillet. 
6. Moving quickly, lay dough into skillet. It will sizzle and that is alright!
7. Add toppings in order you desire! Preferred is, tomatoes, garlic, pep, cheese, top with additional pizza seasoning and fresh basil. 
8. Return to oven and bake 22-26 minutes.
9. Let cool slightly before removing entire pizza to a cutting board to serve!
