Skillet Pizza Margherita

Step 1

Preheat oven to 500F with a 9 or 10 inch cast iron skillet (or other oven safe skillet). Once oven reaches temperature, keep the skillet in for another 10 or 15 minutes, or until you are ready to add the dough.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, add the Chebe mix. With a fork, blend in the Parmesan, milk, eggs and 2 Tbsp oil. Mix for a couple of minutes with the fork, then use your hands and knead it until the dough is smooth and well blended.

Step 3

On a clean surface, roll the dough to about 10 or 11 inches in diameter (you may use a rolling pin or your hands). With the tips of your fingers, make depressions all over the surface of the dough.

Step 4

Remove the skillet from the oven and coat with 2 Tbsp oil using a brush or paper towel. Place the dough carefully into the skillet (listen for the sizzle!) pressing the edges up the side and inch or so. Brush 2 Tbsp oil all over the surface, including the edges.

Step 5

Place the dough in the oven for 4 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with the marinara and mozzarella. Return to the oven for about 8 minutes or until the crust is browned and the cheese is melted.

Step 6

Let the pizza cool 10 or so minutes before adding the basil. Slice and serve!
