My wife and I are extra busy right now w/ our 2-week old baby at home. There are decent takeout pizza places nearby, but they aren't cheap and I love to make pizza from scratch, although it's typically NY style thin crust. Making my NY style at home takes multiple days for the dough and baking the pies is an ordeal with preheating the oven for an hour, stretching the dough by hand, getting semola flower all over the counter, etc.

This quick pan pizza recipe (from Brian Lagerstrom) doesn't require a stand mixer (more to clean), doesn't make out kitchen counter messy, and is a quick turnaround as far as homemade pizza is concerned.

I was able to bottle-feed my daughter while the dough was rising, I changed her diaper while the oven was preheating, and I cleaned up the kitchen while it was baking.

I'll miss making NY style for a bit, but this certainly does the trick in the meantime.

  1. Did you use a cast iron skillet or other pan to cook it in? That looks great!

    Oh definitely going to try this out, we have a 7 month old and this would hit the spot, it looks incredible 

    What kind of pepperoni did you use?

    We have a loyld pan but it’s the deep dish kind… I don’t think it would work as well, right?
