Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Rolling Pin (optional)
- Clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap
- 8-inch frying pan or skillet with lid
- Silicone spatula
- Knife
- Fork
- Cutting board
- Pizza cutter or knife
Ingredients
Pizza Dough
- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil or olive oil
- ½ cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ teaspoon instant dry yeast
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- ¼ cup pizza sauce or tomato sauce
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup cooked pepperoni slices
- ¼ cup cooked ham chopped
- ¼ green bell pepper thinly sliced
- ¼ small red onion thinly sliced
Optional: Italian seasoning, oregano, chili flakes, Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Add the oil and half of the warm water. Mix, then gradually add the remaining water until a sticky dough forms.
- Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Shape into a ball, lightly coat with oil, cover, and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and flatten into an 8-inch circle.
- Poke the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles.
- Grease a frying pan with oil and place the dough inside.
- Cover and cook over low heat for 5–7 minutes.
- Flip and cook the other side for another 5–7 minutes.
- Flip once more, spread the pizza sauce evenly, then add the cheese and desired toppings.
- Cover again and cook over low heat for 8–10 minutes or until the cheese has completely melted.
- Remove from the pan, slice, and serve warm.
Notes
- Use instant dry yeast for convenience since it doesn't require blooming. If using active dry yeast, bloom it first in warm water with sugar for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Since the pizza is cooked on the stovetop, pre-cook meat toppings like pepperoni, ham, bacon, or sausage before adding them.
- Cook only over low heat to prevent the crust from burning while allowing the cheese to melt properly.
- For extra flavor, sprinkle Italian seasoning, oregano, or chili flakes before covering for the final cook.
- Feel free to customize the toppings with mushrooms, olives, pineapple, sweet corn, cooked chicken, or bacon.
- For a thinner crust, divide the dough into two smaller pizzas. Double the ingredients if making a larger pizza.
