Stove Top Pizza |
BackStory: I came home last night to discover that my oven wasn't working. We're having work done on the house so we've been having random electrical issues. Last night it was, apparently, the oven's turn to not work! (Blasted oven) Since I posted this sign on the chore chart in the morning

For this recipe you will need:
Pizza Dough (homemade or store bought it fine)
Sauce
Cheese
Skillet or flat pan
Oil
Basil (optional)
Note: My kids will only eat cheese pizza. If you'd like to add other toppings, that's fine, but make sure that meats are fully cooked.
I make homemade pizza dough. It's SUPER easy and the ingredients are always on hand.
Pizza Dough
2 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 envelope dry yeast
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup WARM - NOT HOT water
Mix everything in a bowl and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.
A while back I did an entire blog post about homemade pizza. You can find that here.
If you don't have the ingredients on hand or if you're not in the mood to make dough, you can usually buy a ball of fresh pizza dough at the supermarket or a local pizza shop for about a $1.

PRO TIP
If the crust is brown before the cheese if fully melted, turn the fire off but leave the pizza on the stove with the cover on. for few minutes. The heat from the pizza will melt the cheese.
