Smoked Beef & Cheddar Skillet Pizza

Title: Italian Style Pizza with Smoked Beef and Cheddar Cheese

Ingredients:

• For the Dough:

  • 200 grams of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Warm water (as needed)

• For the Toppings:

  • Spaghetti sauce
  • 2 slices of smoked beef, chopped
  • Grated cheddar cheese
  • Sliced tomatoes
  • Sliced red onion
  • Sliced green bell pepper
  • Butter (for greasing)

Steps:

1. Prepare the Dough:

   • In a bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir well and let it sit until frothy. This should take about 5-10 minutes.

2. Mix the Dough:

   • In a separate large bowl, add the flour. Gradually pour in the yeast mixture while mixing. Add the vegetable oil and knead the dough until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

3. Prepare the Toppings:

   • While the dough is resting, prepare the toppings. Slice the smoked beef and lightly sauté it in a pan until just warmed. Set aside. Slice the tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper.

4. Assemble the Pizza:

   • After the dough has risen, divide it into two portions if using small pans. Grease a frying pan with butter. Spread the dough evenly in the pan, pressing it out to the edges. Spread a layer of spaghetti sauce over the dough. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated cheddar cheese over the sauce. Arrange the sautéed smoked beef, sliced tomatoes, red onion, and green bell pepper on top.

5. Cook the Pizza:

   • Place the pan on the stove over very low heat. Cover with a lid and cook for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The low heat ensures the dough cooks through without burning.

6. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Once the cheese is melted and the edges of the crust are golden brown, your pizza is ready to be served. Slice it up and enjoy the delicious combination of smoked beef, cheddar cheese, and fresh veggies. Perfect for a cozy meal or a casual gathering!

This Italian-inspired pizza with smoked beef and cheddar cheese is a delightful twist on the traditional. The warm, aromatic flavors and the simple preparation make it a hit every time. Enjoy creating and sharing this dish with your loved ones!
