How to Make Hot Skillet Pizza
- **Activate Yeast:** In a small bowl, combine 1 cup lukewarm water, 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand until foamy (3-5 minutes).
- **Make the Dough:** In a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine 2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (or ¾ cup whole wheat flour + 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour) and 1 ½ teaspoons salt. Mix on low speed.
- **Combine Wet & Dry:** Add the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the mixer. Mix on medium speed for 6 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- **First Rise:** Transfer the dough to a greased large bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled (45-60 minutes).
- **Punch Down:** Gently punch down the risen dough.
- **Prepare the Skillet:** Press the dough into a greased 9-10 inch cast iron skillet. Let rise again until almost doubled (20-30 minutes).
- **Sauté the Tomatoes:** Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add 1 (28 ounce) can crushed tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat, cool slightly, and discard the garlic.
- **Assemble the Pizza:** Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil over the dough in the skillet. Spoon the tomato mixture over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.
- **Bake:** Bake for 25 minutes, until the crust is golden and bubbly.
- **Add Cheese & Toppings:** Sprinkle with 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese, ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon dried oregano. Bake for another 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- **Rest & Serve:** Let the pizza cool in the skillet for 20 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
