Easy Peasy Pan Pizza Recipe
Just start with a batch of your favorite pizza dough. You can even use store-bought dough, if you want. Here’s my husband’s pizza dough recipe.
You’ll Also Need:
Pizza sauce
Your choice of toppings
Cooking oil
One batch of dough is enough to make three eight-inch personal pan pizzas. If you need more pizzas to feed your family, just make a second batch of dough.
My husband set out to make the easiest pan pizza recipe possible, so he used eight-inch round cake pans to make his pizzas. You could also make them in eight-inch cast iron pans, or any other oven-safe pan that’s close to that size.
What You Do:
Oil three pans liberally. Then, divide your dough into three equal pieces. Flatten your dough balls. Then, place a dough round in each pan. Preheat your oven to 200 degrees. Turn it off; Then, place the pans inside for an hour, or until the dough has expanded to fill the bottom of the pans.
Spread pizza sauce on your pizzas.
Then, top with your favorite ingredients.
Bake at 490 for 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is fully cooked.
