How to Make the Perfect Pan Pizza | Get Cookin' | Allrecipes

If you love Pizza Hut pan pizza - make this at home! Nicole makes her easy recipe for a crispy pan pizza using a no knead crust.
Whisk flour, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Stir water and 1 tablespoon olive oil together in a separate bowl or measuring cup and add to flour mixture. Stir just until well combined. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature until dough has tripled in size, 8 to 12 hours. Alternatively, cover and refrigerate at least 12 hours and up to 36 hours, or until dough has tripled in size.
Uncover dough and transfer to a floured surface. Gently stretch and fold dough over a few times until nearly smooth; use your hands to lightly shape dough into a ball. Dough should remain a little sticky.
Pour remaining olive oil into a 12-inch cast iron skillet and use your fingers to liberally coat the bottom and sides of the skillet. Using oiled hands, transfer dough to the skillet, gently flatten into a thick disc shape, and lightly coat with some of the oil. Lightly cover the skillet with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Use fingers to lightly press dough to an even layer to the edges of the pan and about 1/2 inch up the sides.
Sprinkle Parmesan cheese around the edges and over dough. Sprinkle 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella over dough. Spread pizza sauce in an even layer over entire crust. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and top with pepperoni.
Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden around the edges and cheese is lightly browned and melted, 20 to 25 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place on the stove over medium heat. Cook until bottom of crust is golden brown and toasted, 3 to 5 minutes.
Carefully slide pizza from the pan to a wire rack; let stand for 10 minutes. Transfer pizza to a cutting board; slice and serve.

[@jordanruth0809]

I was just about to say this!❤

[@myrnamullins8921]

Me too. I’ve changed the way I do my potato salad because of Nicole

[@michelehuston8247]

I love this woman cuz she is so real and her kitchen is messy!

[@davidnixon5832]

extra added touch with "one bite-everyone knows the rule"...spot on Nicole...and everyone knows where that comes from...

[@cindymaun8952]

Your recipes and videos are the best. I love your casual attitude and easy to follow videos!!

[@LindaKing-lf8nk]

I just love your approach to teaching. It’s like I’m sitting in the kitchen with you having a good time. Would love to go out and have dinner with you

[@c.sanchez4521]

💯

[@celestelopez4333]

I'm gonna show this to my daughter. She loves the "Hut" style pizza😊 Thank you for showing how easy it is to make!

[@kereallison5760]

My son had autism and doesn’t like nothing but Pizza Hut pan pizza! So I hope this helps cause he won’t eat any other pizza at all!!!!

[@jordanruth0809]

You make cooling food so interesting and very simple and as the other commenter said by far the best to watch.

[@JameyReads]

Oh my word that looks amazing 😮

[@ann-utah1495]

Where have you been all of my life???????? Just found you and I’m thinking I might start cooking again.. after 46 years of cooking I was tired of thinking of things to cook and thought I’ve put my time in.. BUT… u have changed my mind….great easy recipes.. plus you are hilarious …. Great recipes and a great time laughing with you!!’ 👍👍👍👍

[@tomsparks6099]

Not a fan of thick crust pizza, but making your own is very easy. I use no-stick cake pans and spread the dough thin -- and make several flavors.

[@ragibby6557]

Frying the dough in cast iron and taking cheese to the edge makes this more like Detroit style than pan style. Dei Fratelli makes a good pizza sauce. I use that and you can adjust seasoning if you want. Saves you from using a watery can of crushed tomatoes. Also, just weigh your flour. It's foolproof. Takes the guesswork out and the crust is always consistent. Whole milk gives better flavor than part skim. Glad that you shredded your own cheese.

[@Mike_Greentea]

The best and only way to order it.

[@pastorwarreng9775]

Always love Nicole's recipes!

[@ESaboHowGravityWorks]

I sprinkle coarse ground cornmeal into the oil before putting the dough in. Comes out just like the pizzeria.

[@BabsAmato1]

Kudos! That pizza looks out of this world. Cannot wait to try out this recipe. Thanks, Nicole. As always, a fantastic job.

[@9ramthebuffs9]

if you use a cake pan instead of 12" round cast iron(same volume) you can use a cast iron griddle as your "pizza stone". Either way you can do 550f ~12 mins no probs.

[@asps1031]

You should have your own show on tv!

[@cathyvelliquette3799]

I don’t have a cast-iron skillet that will fit in my oven, it is a really huge cast-iron skillet! Can I use another kind of pan or possibly a cookie sheet? Love your recipes Nicole you’re my favorite!

[@godfreycarmichael]

I just made this pizza with ghee in the bottom of the pan rather olive oil. It was epic! Epic, I tell you!

[@ruthoneil6822]

[@theresarodriguez1479]

[@c.sanchez4521]

ohh ah ah ah ah! anyone else hear Down With the Sickness when she rocked that pizza on the cooling rack??🍕🎵👂😂

[@brendaglass121]

You said something about not having to go out and buy a pizza stone? You were going to talk about that... You were so happy with that beautiful pizza that you never got back to it. What do we do if we don't own a pizza stone? Thanks for the great recipe and video.

[@aromano18]

She placed it on the stove to finish browning. No stone finish on stove...

[@andrewmontini5029]

Nicole, would this same dough work in a 18” Cast Iron pan ? Or best in a 12” pan ? 🧑‍🍳

[@ferytajdaran9393]

Thank you If i add mushroom and coloured poppers still will be crispy? Or i have to keep it in oven for longer time or there is other way to back it

[@kennethpatierno6223]

When does your restaurant open and were😋

[@MrDanbecker]

[@Dariusmarius]

[@pattianndt8086]

Does the yeast work the same with gluten free flour? Not a choice in diet here, celiac disease.

[@renaissancepoet]

Pizza is God's gift to humanity.

[@MrTonyharrell]

Aldi had a pizza stone just like that last week for $10. I make cast iron pan pizzas all the time. I just make the dough and let it rise in the pan. I can’t duplicate the sausage from the hut though, any ideas?

[@ffeellixisfine7277]

she fire

[@kuttt3r694]

Such a cutie

[@youtellme2731]

It won't open recipe for pizza sauce

[@Jae..9..]

It looks good but I would definitely put way more pepperoni slices on it than she did. 😀

[@liznaqh7114]

I think it has too much oil, but it looks good

[@Elkycreates]

Stovetop first then oven

[@borgsimpson935]

I'm gonna attempt the pizza crust... Test my limited Dough skills.😂😂😂😂

[@higgy82]

Bring back the app.

[@Wildirishmanbiker]

Great recipe and host, lord I didn't think making pizza was sexy but this woman mama mia

[@linda-ti1un]

What if you don’t have a pizza stone?

[@bonniepwtf]

Nicole's mouth wasn't the only one watering!

[@hlynnkeith9334]

Nicole, All that talk about grating fresh mozzarella and then you pull parmesan from a supermarket tub! Shame on you.
