Cast Iron Pan Pizza

As long as you have a cast-iron skillet, you can have great homemade pan-pizza every night with this recipe. If you have a Trader Joe's near you, you'll find everything there for this recipe. I came across this on Bon Appetit.

Ingredients

• 1-pound package of pizza dough
• 2-3 ounces of your favorite pizza sauce.
• 2-3 cups grated mozzarella cheese
• 1 teaspoon honey
• Crushed red chile flakes
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 525˚, or as hot as it’ll go. Do not broil, though.
2. Mix together the honey, chile flakes, and a tiny bit of water -- to thin the honey.
3. Stretch the dough out, working it into a flattened round. Set a 9-12" cast-iron pan over a burner set to medium-high. You want to preheat the pan so it’s hot but not smoking. Sprinkle the hot pan with cornmeal and flour, and set the dough snugly in the pan. Pull the sides of the dough up the sides of the pan so it doesn’t slump back down. Distribute the dough evenly to avoid thin patches. 
4. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and let it start cooking over the burner. Once the dough starts to bubble, season with salt and pepper and spread the sauce over the dough. Top with 2-3 cups grated mozzarella cheese, depending on how gooey you like things.
5. Slide the pizza into the oven and let it bake for 10-15 minutes until the cheese is melted, bubbling, and golden. 
6. Remove pizza from oven, brush the crust with the honey-water mix, which will lacquer the crust. Place back in oven for a few more minutes.
7. Remove pizza from oven again, let it rest a few minutes, top the cheese with fresh torn basil leaves, and then slice and serve.

Serves 1-2.
