HOMEMADE SKILLET PIZZA ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ

Ingredients (for 1 large pizza – 8 slices like in the picture):


๐Ÿง‚ For the dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour ๐ŸŒพ

  • 1 tsp baking powder ๐Ÿง

  • ½ tsp salt ๐Ÿง‚

  • 1 tsp sugar

  • ¾ cup warm water ๐Ÿšฟ

  • 2 tbsp vegetable or olive oil ๐Ÿ›ข๏ธ

๐Ÿ… For the quick sauce:

  • 4 tbsp tomato purée ๐Ÿ…

  • 1 garlic clove, minced ๐Ÿง„

  • Dried oregano, salt, and pepper to taste ๐ŸŒฟ
    (Optional: 1 tsp sugar or honey)

๐Ÿง€ For the toppings (as shown in the picture):

  • 200g shredded or sliced mozzarella cheese ๐Ÿง€

  • 8–10 slices of ham or salami ๐Ÿฅฉ

  • Dried oregano for sprinkling ๐ŸŒฟ
    (Optional: mushrooms, onions, olives, or anything lurking in your fridge ๐Ÿ‘€)


๐Ÿ”ฅ Step-by-Step (with rhythm and good vibes! ๐Ÿ’ƒ)

๐Ÿ‘จ‍๐Ÿณ Step 1: Make the magic dough
In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, sugar, and baking powder.
Gradually add the warm water and mix until you get a soft dough.
Add the oil and knead for 5–7 minutes until it’s no longer sticky (use your hands with love ๐Ÿ’†‍โ™‚๏ธ).
Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes (dance while you wait ๐ŸŽถ).

๐Ÿ… Step 2: Express sauce
Mix the tomato purée with garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and sugar.
Cook for 5 minutes over low heat (you can use the same skillet you’ll cook the pizza in—double duty! ๐Ÿง™‍โ™‚๏ธ).

๐Ÿ• Step 3: Shape the pizza!
Roll out the dough into a circle to fit your skillet.
Place it in the hot skillet with NO oil, over low heat.
Cook for 4 minutes (you’ll see it start to puff and brown on the bottom).

๐Ÿง€ Step 4: The delicious moment
Flip the dough like a tortilla ๐Ÿ‘.
Lower the heat to the minimum. Add sauce, ham/salami, cheese, and oregano.
Cover the skillet and cook for another 6–8 minutes, until the cheese is melted.
Careful not to burn the bottom! ๐Ÿ”ฅ

๐ŸŽ‰ Step 5: Slice, serve, and shout “Mamma mia!”
Use a pizza cutter or knife and spread the love. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ•

๐Ÿคช Funny Story Time

One time, my cousin tried making this skillet pizza but cranked the heat up too high and ended up with carbon-pizza ๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ”ฅ.
He flipped it and said, “It’s not burnt, it’s artisanally smoked!” ๐Ÿ˜†
The top part was perfect though, so we just ate the cheesy layer like a ham lasagna.
Ever since, we call it the “volcano pizza” ๐ŸŒ‹.


๐Ÿ’– Tips for Pizza Perfection:

  • Use a glass lid so you can watch the magic happen without opening it—like a cooking reality show ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ•.

  • Want a crispy crust? Preheat the skillet well before adding the dough ๐Ÿ”ฅ.

  • In a rush? Use flour tortilla dough—lazy genius hack ๐Ÿคซ.

  • Make mini pizzas so everyone can customize theirs ๐Ÿ˜.
