Pizza dough skillet bread is really easy to make. Just place fresh pizza dough into a skillet and I like to top it with cheddar and apples for a twist.
Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 tube of Pillsbury Classic Crust Pizza Dough or homemade pizza dough
- 1 tart green apple, cored and sliced thinly
- 1 oz. sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1/2 tsp. fennel seeds, lightly crushed
- 1/2 tsp. coarse sea salt
Instructions
- If making homemade pizza dough, make this first and let proof (or rise) until double then punch down. Continue with steps below.
- Preheat oven to 400ºF.
- Pour 1 teaspoon of the oil into a 10 inch cast iron (or oven-safe non-stick) skillet. Use your fingers to rub the oil all over the bottom and up the sides of the skillet.
- Center the rectangle of dough over the skillet and then allow the middle to sink in. Fold the corners in towards the center, squishing the dough until it fits. Brush the top of the dough with another teaspoon of olive oil.
- Lay the apple slices in a single overlapping layer on top of the dough. Brush the tops of the slices with the final teaspoon of olive oil. Sprinkle on the cheddar followed by the fennel seeds and the sea salt.
- Bake for 15-19 minutes, until the top and bottom of the bread, are golden brown and the cheese has become dark and a bit crunchy is a few spots.
- Cut into wedges and serve hot.
Looks simple and delicious!
Thanks, Amanda!
Glad to enjoyed your time at the forum and were able to make new and renewed connections. This pizza bread sounds lovely. I like your fruit and cheese one shown here and Katie’s savory one would be delicious too.
Thanks Paula! It was a wonderful weekend. Hope to meet you at an event like that some day :)
Your story was a great recap of the forum at Disney. Your pizza bread sounds delicious. Great picture.
Thank you :)
Sounds way, way too fun. Hope they have something like that in Canada really soon.
If you contact them and are willing to be an organizer, I’d bet they’d do one up there. They’re looking for places to go! Hey, if it’s there, I’d even travel North for it!!!
great recap – it was so nice to meet you and your darling little baby :)
So great meeting you too. And thanks for the Quinoa!
I have been looking for a cast iron skillet,just that size, Pizza Bread size, since that pizza bread last fall. What an impression that one dish has made for us. Thanks. And I’m MISS you and my Florida Foodie life! Thanks for keeping it alive (for me) in your blogs, tweets and FB. Now back to that recipe! and where did you get that CIS?
We miss you too!!! (What’s a CIS?)
Christine you are way too kind. I’m so glad I finally got to meet your family at Food Blog Forum, and of course hang out with you all weekend!!! I’m so incredibly grateful that you shared your pizza bread recipe with a few of us last fall. It’s honestly changed my life, and I’m glad we are sharing it with the world today!
I’m excited to be sharing it too. And I’m excited that you loved it so much. I can’t get over how delicious the combo of parmesan, rosemary and a touch of red pepper flakes sounds. I will be trying that soon!
