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.
Thank you. I didn’t expect it to come out so delicious on my first go. I’ll for sure keep making this in the future. One bite and I was back in Pizza Hut with those stained glass light fixtures, the salad bar, and those red plastic cups.
