Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

One 12-ounce ball pizza dough
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1 teaspoon lemon zest (1 lemon)
1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
16 thin slices mortadella

Steps:

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Dust a board with the flour and roll each ball of dough into roughly a 6-inch round. Heat the oil in a medium skillet set over medium heat, about 3 minutes to get it hot. Add one of the dough rounds to the hot pan. When the dough begins to bubble on the top and the bottom is golden brown, flip to cook the other side, 2 minutes per side. Remove the crust from the pan to a plate and sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the Parmigiano-Reggiano evenly over the whole surface. Sprinkle with some of the lemon zest and a few of the thyme leaves. Drape 4 slices of the mortadella over the pizza. Repeat with the remaining pizza dough, and then serve.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound frozen store-bought pizza dough, thawed and risen
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 cup store-bought pizza sauce
1/2 cup pepperoni
4 ounces fresh mozzarella pearls
1/4 cup torn fresh basil

Steps:

Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F.
Meanwhile, roll or stretch the dough into a 14-inch circle. Carefully remove the skillet from the oven. Drizzle two thirds of the olive oil into the skillet, then carefully transfer the dough to the skillet, pressing the dough up the edges. Spread the sauce over the dough, making sure to get all the way to the edges. Shingle the pepperoni over the sauce and top with the mozzarella pearls. Brush the exposed dough with the remaining olive oil. Bake on the bottom rack until golden brown, 12 to 14 minutes.
Transfer to a cutting board, top with torn basil, cut into slices and serve.
