Cast iron pan pizza is so good!!

If you’re up for something different, try it with thinly sliced (mandolin) blanched potatoes and rosemary with a thin amount of Parmesan shavings instead of tomato sauce before it’s topped. So so good.

I use Adam Ragusea’s method (where you lightly cook the dough on the stove top before popping it in the oven).

Doesn’t take much to sell me on rosemary forward recipes, lol. I have another doughball ready to go, I might try this tomorrow

An unexpected strong benefit to cast iron pizza is that you can spread toppings to the very edge for a crust less pie and also pile toppings super high - which is a strong benefit if you want to go heavy on the spinach

Yep! Mine is pictured with bare dough at the edge to mimic a traditional pizza crust, but that’s purely a preference thing on my end

Not that you’d ever want spinach on a pizza, but orherwise, hell yeah

? Spinach on a pie is delicious. When we do calzones it’s like 3/4 spinach

You gotta cook it right and fill it with garlic

I am gonna have to try that cheddar trick, cast iron pizza is my standard go-to!
Show threadGustMar 5
Doooooooo it. You’ll never go back to the old ways after you try it with a cheddar crisp crust

Back in my day, Pizza Hut cooked them this way, with homemade dough, and served them still in the pan. I miss it.

You sure you don’t just miss being a growing teenager with an unlimited pizza coupon?

(I know that feel bro)

Pizza hut used to be my favorite dine in pizza back in my days too. Nowdays I don’t think they have any dine in around me except those “express” inside some targets and they are so mid
Show threadhumorlessrepostMar 6
They have dine in near me, but the restaurants get shipped frozen pizza “blanks” and add the toppings before cooking.

And this is that, but on your own terms.

Ah, but you see, I’m a lazy fuck.

Yeah I do this all the time from the Cooks Illustrated Best Skillet Recipes book. You can do all sorts of things. Get a pizza stone and you can assembly line them pretty quickly.

This was the gist of the original Pizza Hut thick crust, decades ago, before they turned to garbage.

#8 or #10 for shared. Split your dough between two #5 pans for personal pizzas.

They call that recipe foolproof. I cannot bake to save my Life. I have never, not once, fucked up that recipe. It actually is foolproof. It is delicious. I use a pesto sauce, hand shredded provolone cheese, bacons or pepperonis or gyro bits, seasoned tomato chunks, gorgonzola crumbles, and some garlic salt on the bones. It is my personal style of pizza, figure out ratios of ingredients you like but be careful not to overload it.
