Cast Iron Detroit-Style Pizza - our newest obsession! Thick crust pizza layered in reverse order - toppings, cheese, and sauce on top. Ready to eat in 20 minutes. The pizza is baked in a cast iron skillet giving it perfectly crispy caramelized cheese around the edge with a soft chewy crust and lots of ooey gooey cheese! Can use any toppings you prefer. This is our new go-to weeknight pizza recipe!
Brush a 12-inch cast iron skillet with oil. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough to a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the dough to the skillet and press to fill the pan. Thoroughly pierce the dough with a fork. Sprinkle dough with half of the Italian seasoning. Place the skillet on the stovetop. Cook over high heat for 2–3 minutes, or until the dough slightly puffs.
Remove the pan from the heat and top with some pepperoni slices, then both kinds of cheese. Make sure to cover the entire pizza, including the edges.
Top with the remaining Italian seasoning. Use a spoon to dollop the pizza sauce onto the dough. Add the remaining pepperoni slices and bake for 15 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven.
Notes:
I used fresh pizza dough from the bakery section at the grocery store.Can use any cheese and pizza toppings you prefer.Can use more or less sauce - it is up to your personal preference.
