Cooking pizza in a cast iron pan on your stove top is an excellent way to crisp up your pizza before finishing it off under the broiler for that wood fired look.
Yield: 1 Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 300g ball of Holy Napoli frozen pizza dough
- 4 tbsp white flour divided
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 125g ball of fresh Burrata cut into four quarters in a bowl to retain inside cream
