Title: Pfannen Pizza
Ingredients:
– Olive oil
– 1 pound pizza dough
– 1/2 cup marinara sauce
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
– 1/4 cup sliced black olives
– 1/4 cup sliced red onion
– Fresh basil leaves, for garnish
Instructions:
1. Start by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to the skillet and let it heat up.
2. While the skillet is heating, roll out your pizza dough on a lightly floured surface. You can shape it into a round that fits the skillet or any shape you prefer.
3. Carefully transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to the hot skillet. Let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom starts to lightly brown.
4. Using a spatula, flip the dough over in the skillet. The partially cooked side should now be facing up.
5. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
6. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, ensuring even coverage.
7. Layer the sliced pepperoni, black olives, and red onion on top of the cheese in a decorative pattern.
8. Cover the skillet with a lid or foil and let the pizza cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Once the cheese is melted and the crust is cooked through, carefully remove the skillet from the heat. Allow the pizza to cool slightly before garnishing with fresh basil leaves.
10. Slice the Pfannen Pizza into wedges or squares and serve hot.
