We really like this crust, and we’d love to try more pizza like this. However, it still does have a buttery pastry flavor that’s quite lovely. But you should do that if you’re into prosciutto on your pizza! You can add it before if you like it crispy, or after if you like it chewy.Once you actually bite into it, it tastes perhaps a bit less like a croissant than you might expect based on the smell. I almost added prosciutto but decided to keep this guy vegetarian. Then you top it with cheese and mushrooms, and bake until the crust is ridiculously crispy and delicious, and the top is ooey gooey cheesy heaven. I don’t want anyone to tell me they didn’t see that until dinner time and then didn’t get to properly rise the dough.

I repeat, the pizza dough hangs out at room temperature for two hours before baking.

You plop the dough in a super well-greased skillet, cover it, and let it rise and get fluffy for a couple hours. If you’ve ever tried using store-bought pizza dough and found that it ripped, or bounced back and wouldn’t stretch out, or just generally misbehaved for you, you’re going to love this recipe. The King Arthur recipe is not difficult, but it is time-consuming, so I wanted to take the lessons learned from making it and hack it into a quickie Trader Joe’s Tuesday recipe, since I LOVE their pizza dough. Remember, back when we thought this would be over in like a month? Back when I used the hashtag #QuarantineQitchen for my easy, pantry recipes? Oh how naive we were.Īnyway, the King Arthur Flour test kitchen developed this absolutely insane pizza, which is cooked in a cast iron skillet just like the pizzas in my cookbook, except that it’s an INSANELY deep dish pizza, with a crispy crust, and toppings that go all the way to to the edge. This pizza, along with that TikTok fluffy coffee drink thing, was one of the most viral recipes of “early quarantine”.
