Description:
An easy-to-fix deep-dish pizza cooked in a cast-iron skillet. To ensure the pizza doesn’t stick, a quick shot of non-stick spray does the trick. For the pizza sauce, I highly recommend trying out Steve’s Recipe #8497; trust me, you won’t miss the refrigerated store-bought dough once you’ve tried this homemade delight!

Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 425°F.

Prepare your ingredients by removing the skins from the sausage and cooking it in a heavy skillet, crumbling it as you cook.
-
Drain the cooked sausage on a plate covered with paper towels to remove excess fat.
-
Remove the fat from the skillet.
-
Sauté the sweet peppers and onion in olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Add the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
-
Incorporate the pepperoni, basil, oregano, and black pepper into the skillet mixture, and cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Unroll the pizza dough and place it in a well-seasoned 10-inch cast-iron skillet. You may need to stretch it slightly so that the dough comes up about 1 inch on the sides.
-
Spread 2 tablespoons of the pizza sauce evenly over the dough.
-
Layer half of the vegetable filling on top of the sauce, followed by half of the cooked sausage.
-
Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese and dot with 3 tablespoons of sauce.
-
Top with half of the shredded mozzarella cheese.
-
Repeat the layering process with the remaining ingredients.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
