I had never made a cast iron skillet pizza before and wanted to use my new stand mixer. I was incredibly surprised how good this came out. I’ll probably never order pizza again and it only costs $3.47 per pizza! The crust is like the pan pizzas from the Pizza Hut of the '90s, my favorite!

I baked the pizza in my 11" skillet at 450F for around 20 min. After checking the bottom crust I cooked 5 more minutes on the stove, medium heat.

I used this recipe for the dough.

Dough (makes two balls)

  • 4.25 cups Bread Flour = $0.93
  • 2.25 tsp Rapid-rise Yeast = $1.00
  • 1.5 tsp Salt = $0.02
  • 2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil = $0.36
  • 1.75 cup Warm Water = Free

Total = $1.16 ($2.31 for two dough balls)

Toppings

  • 3 tbsp Pizza Sauce = $0.27
  • 1.5 cup Mozzarella Cheese = $1.42
  • 1 oz Pepperoni = $0.47
  • 1 Jalapeno Pepper = $0.15

Total = $2.31

Total for everything = $3.47 per pizza.

    • Fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
    • A pinch of sugar (optional if too acidic)

      Personally my herb preferences are marjoram, oregano and basil. Lots of people forget about marjoram but it’s a really great herb for tomato sauce.
