Equipment
10" or 12" cast iron frying pan
Ingredients:
Crust
1/2 package yeast
1/3 cup warm or room temperature water
3/4 cup all purpose flour
3/8 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. sugar
Toppings
1/2 cup tomato paste (straight from the can) or tomato sauce or pizza
sauce (whichever you prefer)
6 oz. your favorite cheese or cheese combination, shredded or sliced
other toppings of your choice, e.g. fresh basil, minced garlic, sliced
red onion, pepperoni, cooked Italian sausage
Note: If no other flour is available, you can use a high quality all-purpose flour, but for the most authentic crust, use:
Preparation:
- Add the yeast to the water and let it sit for 10 minutes. It should begin to look slightly foamy. Mix the flour, salt and sugar in a separate bowl. Add the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until it is well mixed. The dough should be thick, requiring a little effort to mix it. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rise in a warm or room temperature place for about two hours. Grease your cast iron pan lightly if it isn't already well seasoned.
- After the dough has risen, take it out of the bowl and lay it on a floured surface. Knead the dough around 50 times. It should be smoother and less sticky. With a rolling pin, roll it into a round shape and lift it into the pan. You can also push the dough in place in the pan with your fingers. The edges should come up a little on the sides of the pan to form a rim. Spread the sauce on the dough and add the other toppings. Bake in a preheated 425F oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese bubbles and the top is brown. Can be served right out of the pan.
