Equipment
- 8" cast iron skillet OR metal pan
Ingredients
- 8 ounces store-bought pizza dough ball
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt or to taste
- 2-3 sprigs fresh rosemary use small sprigs or remove from stems
Instructions
- If time allows, bring dough to room temperature.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the center of the cast iron skillet. This may seem like an excessive amount of olive oil but you need it so the bread doesn’t stick to the pan + it adds flavor to the bread!)
- Place dough ball in the pan then roll in oil to coat.
- Rub your fingers lightly with oil then gently press straight down as you stretch the dough and make dimples over the entire surface of the dough with the tips of your fingers.
- Sprinkle with flaky sea salt and fresh rosemary.
- Bake 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and lightly crisp (adjust bake time if using a larger pan and more dough). TIP: use a small spatula to life a little of the bread to check the bottom for color. Remove bread from the oven and transfer to a wire rack.
- Cool 10 minutes to room temperature then place on a cutting board and slice using a serrated knife.
Notes
- For 1 pound of dough, use a larger skillet or pan.
