Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 lb pizza dough (homemade or store-bought)
- ½ cup tomato sauce
- 8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- Fresh basil leaves, torn
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
- Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface until it's the size of your skillet.
- Add a tablespoon of olive oil to your cast iron skillet and heat it up over medium heat.
- Once the skillet is hot, carefully transfer the rolled-out pizza dough to the skillet. Use your fingers to press the dough up the sides of the skillet.
- Add the tomato sauce to the center of the dough and spread it out in a thin layer, leaving about 1 inch of dough around the edges.
- Add the sliced mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce.
- Drizzle a little bit of olive oil on top of the cheese and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let the pizza cool for a few minutes.
- Once the pizza has cooled slightly, sprinkle some torn basil leaves on top and slice into wedges.
- Serve the pizza immediately and enjoy!
