Hot Skillet Pizza

"I stumbled upon this recipe in this months issue of Everday with Rachel Ray. You have to use a cast iron skillet with this recipe to get the full results of a light golden and crispy crust. The dough is a snap to put together, and you can vary your toppings. If you would like you can use 3/4 cup whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour (intead of 2 1/4 cups all purpose flour) this will give the crust a healthier twist. I usually use white whole wheat flour. This recipe will make you think outside of the box when it comes to pizza making....and a reason to buy a cast iron skillet if you do not have one already."

  2. My first time to make pizza and out came out well. I used whole wheat flour as suggested together with white and kneaded the dough by hand. I also added mushrooms and cilantro for the topping.

  3. I just put 2 doughs in the oven to rise. They feel incredible! I hand kneaded (no machine). We'll see what happens, and update the review :-)
