Instructions
-
Prepare the Dough:
- In a large mixing bowl (or the bowl of a stand mixer), combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Gradually add water, a little at a time, to create a soft and smooth dough. Knead the dough by hand or with a stand mixer until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Drizzle in extra virgin olive oil and continue kneading for 3-4 minutes to incorporate it fully into the dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and set it aside to rest while you prepare the toppings.
-
Prepare the Vegetables:
- Heat olive oil in a wok or large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute until fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets, red bell pepper, and onion to the pan. Stir-fry the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, ensuring they remain firm but are slightly cooked. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
Cook the Pizza:
- Heat a cast iron skillet or a regular skillet over medium-high heat. Coat the bottom with olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Dust a small plate with dry flour and divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Roll each portion into thick, round discs, dusting with flour as needed to prevent sticking.
- Place each rolled-out dough into the preheated skillet, flipping them occasionally to cook both sides partially (about 2-3 minutes on each side).
-
Assemble the Skillet Pizza:
- Once both sides of the dough are partially cooked, brush a thin layer of olive oil over the top side.
- Spread a generous amount of tomato basil pasta sauce over each pizza base.
- Scatter the sautéed vegetable topping evenly over the sauce.
- Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the vegetables and sauce.
-
Finish Cooking the Pizza:
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let the pizza cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese begins to melt and bubble.
- Once the cheese is melted, uncover the skillet and cook for an additional minute to ensure the pizza’s crust becomes crispy and slightly browned around the edges.
-
Serve:
- Carefully remove the pizza from the skillet and place it onto a platter. Repeat the process with the remaining dough portions and toppings.
- Slice the pizza into desired portions and serve immediately. Enjoy your Skillet Pizza with Roasted Vegetables as part of a cozy dinner or a fun pizza party!
