Equipment

  • 10-inch (25 ½ cm) wide, shallow, preferably non-stick pan with lid

Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 recipe Best-Ever Pizza Dough Recipe (No-Knead), rested overnight

Pizza Sauce

  • 1 recipe 5 Minute Pizza Sauce

Cheese and Toppings

  • 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese 12 oz/340 g
  • Toppings of choice (like pepperoni, sausage, olives, diced peppers, etc.)

Instructions
 

  • Choose a 10-inch (25 ½ cm) wide, shallow, preferably non-stick pan that has a lid. Setting the lid aside, place the pan over medium/low heat.
  • Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Working with one portion at a time (and leaving the rest of the dough covered so it doesn't dry out), roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a 10-inch (25 ½ cm) circle.
  • Carefully lay the pizza dough in the pan and place on the lid. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the crust bubbles and rises up but is only very slightly browned.
  • Flip the crust over and leaving the lid off, continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, until toasty brown on the bottom.
  • Flip back over and spread the browned side with a thin layer of pizza sauce, 1 cup (3 oz/85 g) of cheese and any of your desired toppings.
  • Turn off the heat and place the lid back on for about 5 minutes to allow the toppings to heat up, the cheese to melt and the crust to crisp in the residual heat.
  • Transfer your Stovetop Pizza to a cutting board, slice and enjoy while still hot.
  • Cook off the remaining pizzas in the same way. If you don't want to make all of them, you can cook off the bases and freeze these to be used another time. (When ready to use, defrost on a hot pan over medium low heat, then top and warm the toppings as instructed above).
