Cast Iron Pizza Bianca Recipes

CAST IRON PIZZA BIANCA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F. Place a 12-inch cast-iron skillet in the oven to preheat for 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll or stretch the dough into a 14-inch circle. Remove the preheated skillet from the oven. Drizzle half the garlic-infused olive oil into the skillet, then carefully transfer the dough to the skillet, pressing it up the edges and letting it sizzle. Brush the remaining olive oil on the dough. Sprinkle the grated mozzarella and Asiago on the dough, then top with the mozzarella pearls. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Bake on the bottom rack of the oven until golden, 12 to 14 minutes.
• Transfer to a cutting board, then drizzle with the truffle oil, top with shaved Parmesan and lots of fresh basil. Cut into slices and serve.

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.
