Turn on your oven's broiler and heat a cast iron skillet over medium to
medium-high heat. While the skillet is preheating, use your hands to
press a ball of dough into an 8" circle on a floured surface. Use more
f
lour as needed to prevent sticking. (If you find the dough difficult to
shape into a pizza crust, let it to rest on the counter for 15 minutes in
order for the gluten to relax.)
7 When the skillet is hot, lay the circle of dough onto the skillet.
Immediately place the sauce and toppings on the crust and cook for 5-6
minutes or until the bottom of the crust is starting to char.
8 Once the bottom has turned brown and charred, transfer the cast iron skillet to the broiler to finish baking the top of the pizza 2-4 minutes.
Remove, slice and serve hot.

Note
This recipe has been EDITED on 12-15-20 from the original, with the
following changes: water- reduced from 1 ½ cup (375g) to 1 ⅓ cup + 2
tablespoons (350g).
If you do not have an oven-safe or cast iron skillet, start the pizza on the
stove-top in a non-stick skillet. (If it is not a non-stick skillet, spray a little
cooking oil to prevent the crust from sticking.) When the pizza is ready to
go under the broiler, carefully slide the crust onto a baking sheet to finish
it.
