Cast Iron Pizza

1. 1

   Rest the Dough

   Let the pizza dough sit at room temperature until relaxed and easy to stretch, about 1 hour.

   • Pizza Dough1 lb
2. 2

   Press into the Skillet

   Coat a 10 to 12 inch cast iron skillet with the olive oil. Press and stretch the dough to the edges; if it springs back, let it rest 15 minutes and press again. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 500F (260C).

   • Olive Oil2 tbsp
3. 3

   Top the Pizza

   Spread the marinara over the dough, then scatter the mozzarella all the way to the edge so it crisps against the pan. Sprinkle with the Parmesan, if using.

   • Mozzarella8 oz
   • Parmesan¼ cup
4. 4

   Start on the Stovetop

   Set the skillet over medium-high heat for 2 to 3 minutes to jump-start a crisp bottom crust.

5. 5

   Bake

   Transfer to the oven and bake 12 to 15 minutes, until the crust is deep golden and the cheese is blistered.

6. 6

   Rest and Serve

   Rest 5 minutes in the pan, scatter with basil, if using, then slide out, slice, and serve.

   • Basil¼ cup
