Yes! Cast iron is the BEST for pizza. A cast-iron skillet with olive oil is going to give you the very best crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, deep-dish pizza crust. You can’t get this kind of crust with any other pan!
Correspondingly, can I use cast iron instead of pizza stone?
Cast Iron Pan
Our skillet pizza cooks up in a cast iron pan on the stovetop, but you can also use a cast iron pan in the oven to produce a crispy pizza crust too. Like the baking sheet, a large cast iron skillet preheated upside down can pretty much exactly replicate a pizza stone in the oven.
Keeping this in view, how do you cook pizza on Lodge cast iron? Take a Cold Slice from Soggy to Crispy
- Preheat a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes.
- Place cold slices into the hot skillet.
- Add half a teaspoon of water to the skillet, but away from the slice.
- Quickly top with a lid, for melty cheese.
- Cook until crispy, but be careful not to let it burn!
Beside this, how do you keep pizza from sticking to a cast iron skillet?
When your pan is hot, sprinkle it with a bit of flour and cornmeal to keep the crust from sticking. Then, stretch your pizza dough and press it into the cast-iron pan, being careful not to burn your fingers.
