Instructions
- Preheat oven to 500° Fahrenheit (260° Celsius).
- Thoroughly grease 10-inch cast-iron skillet to prevent sticking.
- Remove dough from the refrigerator and turn out onto a lightly greased work surface. Gently stretch the dough to the width of the skillet, and then place it in the skillet.
- Cover the dough with sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and arrange pepperoni to personal preference.
- Lightly spray the crust with butter and season to personal taste.
- Bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes (I found that 17 minutes in my oven was perfect).
- Carefully remove the skillet from the oven and place it on a heatproof surface, such as the stovetop. Carefully transfer pizza to a cutting board. Slice, serve, and enjoy!
Notes
Watch your pizza closely during those last five minutes of baking! A minute in the oven can make the difference between a perfectly cooked pizza and a burnt one.
