    Electric Skillet Pizza

    Jump to Recipe Jump to Video

    This may be one of the easiest ways you’ll ever bake pizza at home, and you don’t even need to preheat your oven! Have you heard of electric skillet pizza?

    Perhaps you are merely cooking for yourself and it seems like a waste to heat the entire oven, or perhaps you’re trying to cut down on energy costs. Perhaps you just want to see what your electric skillet can handle.

    For all of these reasons and more, an electric skillet is a great option for an alternative way to bake pizza (although my favorite way is to grill pizza when the weather permits). You could probably make this with homemade dough if you’re up for that, or make it easier and grab a pre-made dough from the store.

    This could especially be a perfect meal solution for busy weeknights!

    With as few as three steps, this pizza will be baking into a delicious symphony of hearty tomato and cheesy goodness. One of our favorite aspects of this recipe is that it avoids the possibility of under-cooked pizza dough. It calls for cooking one side of the dough until golden brown and then flipping it to cook the other side.

    Only at that point will you begin adding the toppings, which ensures the crust is equally cooked when the cheese is melted and lightly browned. As you try out this recipe, you may even find that you now prefer skillet pizza over oven-baked pizza!

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 premade pizza dough ball
    • 1 small can pizza sauce - 8 ounces
    • 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
    • 2 cups mozzarella cheese - shredded
    • 3 mushrooms - sliced
    • ½ cup mini pepperoni slices
    • ¼ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes - drained and chopped
    • olive oil

    Instructions
     

    • Prepare and measure out all of the toppings ahead of time.
    • Preheat a lightly greased electric skillet to 375°F.
    • Roll out the pizza dough ball on a lightly floured surface, into a size that will fit into the skillet.
    • Carefully place the rolled out pizza round into the skillet. Cook for 1 minute or until the bottom is golden. While it's cooking, brush the top side of the pizza dough with a bit of olive oil.
    • Flip the pizza crust with a spatula to begin cooking the other side. Turn the heat down to 300°F and immediately add the sauce, Italian seasoning, cheese and other toppings.
    • Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the bottom of the pizza is golden brown.
    • Transfer pizza carefully onto a cutting board. Let it rest for 1 minute. Slice into wedges and serve.

    Equipment

    Notes

    • Pizza should be left out no longer than 2 hours.
    • Leftover pizza will last in the refrigerator for up to four days. Wrap it in plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight storage container.

        Hi Bill. You can buy premade pizza dough at the grocery store, which is what I do for this recipe. Or, if you have a pizza dough recipe you like, you can make that ahead of time.
