Step 1

Preheat oven to 500F. Place cast iron skillet in oven while it preheats (the hotter the pan the crispier the pizza!)

Step 2

Cut dough ball in half, use hands to press out dough into even circle. Form into 10x10-inch circle (unless your skillet measurements are different).

Step 3

When pan has preheated, remove - make sure ingredients are ready - you do not want the pan to cool down. Very carefully use a wad of paper towels/napkins to spread oil in hot skillet. Carefully place dough circle in pan and adjust to fit edges (picture #2).

Step 4

Add sauce - leaving room for crust to form (you do not need to form crust - it rises on it's own). Sprinkle mozzarella & parmesan cheese overtop.

Step 5

Bake for 14-16 minutes - cheese should be bubbling, browned, and crust should be golden brown. When pizza is finished, use a utensil to carefully slide pizza from skillet onto a cutting board. Top with fresh basil and red pepper flakes if desired. See notes for extra toppings. Repeat cooking process with other dough ball to make second pizza or use 2 pans at a time. I have found the pizza to get crispier as the cooking process continues and the pan gets even hotter. Enjoy!
