Skillet Pizza

Tonight I decided to use my new quick pizza dough recipe in a skillet pizza. Think deep dish (sort of Chicago style) pizza.  I am really liking this new pizza dough recipe – it is fairly simple and the results are fantastic. I tweaked my pizza sauce recipe as well and think it is a winner too.  Just remember to allow it to cool sufficiently or else the pizza will fall apart (I couldn’t wait and experienced this issue first hand!)

      It was tasty! You should try it… I was thinking it would also make a great calzone/stuffed pizza by pulling the edge crust over the top.
