Ingredients

Instructions

  • Place a rack in top-most position of the oven; preheat to 475°F. Place dough on a work surface and stretch out to a 10" round and cover loosely with plastic wrap, while preparing the toppings.
  • Drizzle 1 tablespoon oil on a well seasoned cast-iron skillet. Carefully lay dough inside the skillet and use your fingers to help extend dough all the way to the edges. Season with salt and crushed red pepper, and drizzle remaining olive oil on top.
  • Place the cast iron skillet in the preheated oven until the crust is lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from the oven, spread marinara over the entire dough surface. Top with mozzarella cheese, tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Return the skillet to the oven and bake on the top rack until the crust is deeply golden brown around the edges and the cheese is bubbly, about 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with basil and serve.

Notes

My Top Tip: Don't skip pre-cooking your dough in the skillet. This allows the top of the dough to firm up so it doesn't get soggy when you add the sauce and toppings. You can also heat the pan in the oven or on the stovetop.
Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. To reheat, place your pizza in a cast iron skillet and heat it in the oven until the cheese is melted.
Freezing: To freeze your cast iron pizza, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap, then store them in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to eat, let them thaw in the refrigerator before reheating.
