Skillet Pizza

                               

I just love pizza!  Baking it in a cast iron skillet is an effective and easy way to get the crust to turn out just the way I like it!

Start by making the dough for the crust.  Add yeast, flour, garlic salt, olive or grape seed oil, and water to the bread pan.

Use the "manual" setting on your bread machine, and after the cycle is complete, remove the dough.  Tonight I divided it (because I am only cooking for two) and put half in a zip lock bag and placed it in the refrigerator.

While the dough was mixing I lightly sauteed sliced mushrooms and onion in olive oil, to use for the topping.

Now, start building the pizza.  Coat the 12 inch cast iron skillet with olive oil, add the dough, marinara sauce and asiago cheese.

Next add the pepperoni.  I had it sliced at the BJ's deli counter.

                                                                          
 Finally, add the mushrooms and onions, and top with sharp provolone cheese.

Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.
