Directions: |
Directions:Pre heat an oven to 500 and set a rack for the lower third.
Put a little olive oil into a 10 inch cast iron skillet and smear around. Place one piece of dough in the pan and press out to sides as far as you can. Place other piece of dough in a zip lock bag and refrigerate or freeze for the next time. Let dough relax and continue to press out to edges every 30 minutes for 1 hour.
Line the bottom of the dough with pepperoni or sausage and push up edges of dough up the side of the cast iron skillet. Lay the cheese on top of that and continue to push dough up sides. Spoon about ¾ of the tomato sauce over the top of the cheese until almost the edge. Sprinkle grated cheese all over the top of sauce.
Place skillet into oven for about 25-30 minutes. Carefully remove the pizza with a metal spatula and tilt method onto a cutting board. If pizza is not crispy enough on the bottom I sometimes slide it on top of a baking stone at this point with a pizza wheel and cook a little further. Cut into wedges and serve. |
