  • 1 package Pizza Dough Store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup Flour For dusting the surface
For the Sauce and Toppings
  • 1 cup Pizza Sauce Crushed San Marzano tomatoes recommended
  • 8 oz Fresh Mozzarella Cheese Packed in water for better melt

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven’s broiler to high and place a cast-iron skillet on medium-high heat for at least 5 minutes.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the pizza dough into an 8-inch circle, dusting with flour to prevent sticking.
  3. Transfer the shaped dough to the skillet and press the edges to adhere to the sides.
  4. Spread the pizza sauce over the dough, leaving a small border, then layer with mozzarella cheese and basil.
  5. Cook in the skillet for about 5 minutes until the crust is golden and bubbling.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the broiler for 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly blistered.
  7. Remove from the oven, cool slightly, and slice into wedges before serving.
