How to make pizza in frying pan at home

Making pizza in a frying pan is a convenient way to enjoy a delicious homemade pizza without the need for an oven. In this guide, I will explain a step-by-step process for making a tasty pizza using a frying pan. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2 cup warm water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Pizza sauce
• Mozzarella cheese (shredded)
• Toppings of your choice (e.g., sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, pepperoni, etc.)

Tools:

• Frying pan (preferably non-stick)
• Mixing bowl
• Wooden spoon or spatula
• Rolling pin
• Oven mitts
• Plate or cutting board
• Knife or pizza cutter

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar.
2. Gradually add warm water to the mixture while stirring with a wooden spoon or spatula.
3. Once the dough starts to come together, add olive oil and continue mixing until a soft dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
5. Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in the bowl, covered with a kitchen towel, for about 30 minutes to allow it to rise.

Step 2: Prepare the Frying Pan

1. Take a frying pan with a diameter similar to the size of the pizza you want to make.
2. Place the pan on the stovetop and preheat it over medium heat for a few minutes.
3. Drizzle a small amount of olive oil onto the frying pan and spread it evenly to prevent the dough from sticking.

Step 3: Roll Out the Dough

1. Once the dough has risen, transfer it back to the lightly floured surface.
2. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a circle or desired shape that fits the frying pan.
3. Roll the dough to a thickness of about 1/4 inch, or to your preference.

Step 4: Cook the Pizza

1. Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to the preheated frying pan. Be cautious as the pan may be hot.
2. Cook the dough on medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the bottom becomes golden brown. You can cover the pan with a lid to help the cheese melt evenly.
3. Flip the dough using oven mitts or a spatula to cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it also turns golden brown.

Step 5: Add Toppings and Cheese

1. Once both sides of the dough are cooked, remove the frying pan from the heat source.
2. Spread pizza sauce evenly on the cooked side of the dough.
3. Sprinkle a generous amount of shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
4. Add your desired toppings, such as sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions, or pepperoni.

Step 6: Finish Cooking the Pizza

1. Place the frying pan back on the stovetop over low heat.
2. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and the toppings are heated through.
3. Keep a close eye on the pizza to prevent burning or overcooking. Adjust the heat as necessary.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

1. Once the cheese is melted and the pizza is cooked to your liking, carefully remove the frying pan from the heat.
