INGREDIENTS

  • 350 g pizza dough, room temperature
  • 1 can of whole, peeled tomatoes
  • 75 g of mozzarella di bufala or fresh mozzarella, roughly cut into pieces
  • 2 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground pepper
  • Basil leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Place a rack in the upper third of the oven with the Iron Handle Skillet on it. Preheat the oven to 475°F/245°C. Starting with a hot empty skillet is the secret to creating a perfectly crisp crust.

Heat a Stainless Steel Saucepan on medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sauté garlic until golden. Add whole tomatoes and salt to taste. Simmer on low heat for 10-15 minutes.

Place dough on a work surface; drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil, turn to coat. Stretch out to a 30 cm round.

Once preheated, remove the empty skillet and carefully lay dough inside. Use a spoon to help extend dough all the way to the edges if the skillet is too hot.

Spread tomato mixture over entire surface of dough.

Top with mozzarella pieces.

Transfer Iron Handle Skillet to the oven and bake on top rack until pizza crust is golden brown around the edges and cheese is bubbling, about 12 minutes.

Let cool for a few minutes.

Scatter basil leaves on the pizza. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper to taste and drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil.
