Description

Make a family-style pizza with an irresistibly crisp, golden crust using a cast iron pan and simple oven baking.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 grams Pizza Dough
  • 2 tbsp Pizza Sauce
  • 6–7 Finely Slices Capscicum
  • 6 Sliced Black Olives
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 8–10 Medium sized Mushrooms
  • 2 Chillis Finely Chopped
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil

Instructions

  1. Take your pizza dough ball and stretch it evenly to fit your pan. Use about 300 grams of dough for a 9-inch cast iron pan.
  2. Heat a cast iron pan on high heat on the stove until you see smoke coming from the surface.
  3. Place the stretched pizza dough into the hot pan to cook the base. Cook for 2-3 minutes on high heat to crisp the bottom.
  4. Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the stove.
  5. Spread pizza sauce evenly over the partially cooked dough. Add cheese and your preferred toppings.
  6. Gently press the toppings down with melted butter.
  7. Preheat your convection oven to 200°C for 15 minutes.
  8. Place the pan pizza in the preheated oven and bake at 190-200°C for 15-16 minutes.
  9. While the pizza bakes, prepare the spicy garlic mushrooms: Add olive oil to a separate pan, then add finely chopped chillis and garlic. Sauté until the oil is fragrant, avoiding browning.
  10. Cook the mushrooms in this oil at high heat for 5-10 minutes. Add salt at the end of cooking. Transfer the mushrooms to a bowl and let them cool.
  11. Once the pizza is done, remove the pan from the oven. Slice and serve hot.
