→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 tablespoon olive oil
02 -
1 can of Pillsbury pizza dough, room temperature
03 -
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, freshly shredded is best
04 -
½ cup pizza sauce
05 -
Your choice of pizza toppings
# Let's Cook!:
01 -
Adjust oven racks, placing one at the very bottom and another at the top, then preheat to 450°F (230°C)
02 -
Coat the bottom and sides of a cast iron pan with oil. Stretch the pizza dough to cover the bottom of the pan, using your fingers to create dimples
03 -
Distribute mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, extending to the edges. Spoon sauce over the cheese, spreading it to the edges. Add your favorite toppings
04 -
Bake on the bottom rack for 18-20 minutes, until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted. For a more browned top, move to top rack for an additional 2-3 minutes
05 -
Remove pan and place on a wire rack briefly. Loosen edges with a knife, then transfer pizza to a cutting board with a spatula. Serve hot
# Cook's Notes:

Freshly shredded cheese melts better than pre-shredded
