SKILLET PIZZA = NO OVEN

Too hot to fire up the oven?

You can make pizza in a skillet.

Yes, you read it correctly.

Check out this AWESOME post named, The Pizza Lab: Awesome Pizza Without An Oven (aka Skillet Pizza) Posted by J. Kenji López-Alt, March 13, 2012.

I first saw this recipe on a blog, by Stephanie B, called, This Little Monkey Went to Market. It looked so good and so simple, I HAD TO TRY it.

INGREDIENTS FOR
Skillet Neapolitan Pizza (No Kneading or Oven Required!)

Note: This technique can be used with your favorite pizza dough recipe or with store-bought dough. It works best with a blow torch or a gas burner, but an electric burner will work as well.

I made two doughs. One using all-purpose flour and another using whole wheat flour.

Wheat dough proofing. What a beauty!

All-Purpose flour dough proofing…loveliness. I get excited when my dough rises successfully.

Skillet Pizza! Ready to enjoy!

I added anchovies, red pepper flakes and dried basil on my pizza. As you well know, the sky’s the limit with choice of toppings.
I used the broiler to achieve the char on the pizza.
Go for it…you deserve it…* smiles *
