Skillet pizza
TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
- Lukewarm water
- 2tsp brown sugar
- 1 x 7g active dry yeast
- 1 tbsp olive oil, extra for the skillet
- 3 ¼ cups plain flour, plus more for kneading and rolling
- ¾ tsp salt
Toppings:
- ½ cup prepared tomato sauce
- 1 ball of fresh mozzarella, sliced thinly
- ¼ cup fresh basil leaves
- Olive or truffle oil, for drizzling
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
- In a large bowl, mix the sugar in the lukewarm water then add the yeast and stir until the yeast has dissolved. Set aside until the top is foamy.
- Add the olive oil, flour and salt, mixing until a rough ball of dough comes together.
- Using your hands, knead the dough onto a floured surface until a smooth ball forms. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky. Be careful not to over-knead or dry out as it should be smooth and elastic.
- Place back in the well-oiled bowl, with a towel overtop, and let sit in a warm place for 15 minutes to double in size.
- Divide the dough in half and make two balls. Set one ball aside in the bowl and roughly roll the other ball out to the size of the skillet.
- Get your fire going, coat the cast iron skillet with oil and place the dough in the skillet; pushing the dough to the edges.
- Cook the dough on the fire for 3 to 5 minutes, until the dough forms a firm crust.
- Remove the skillet from heat and flip the base over.
- Add the toppings, except the basil, and place back on the fire and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mozzarella has melted. Add basil, salt, pepper and drizzle oil on top. Slice and serve.
- Repeat this process for the next batch of dough.
