Do you love pizza? Then you’re going to want to make this deep-dish cast-iron pan pizza! It’s super easy to make and most of us have the need ingredients in our refrigerator or pantry. I used two nine-inch cast-iron pans like these: Cast Iron Pans
Please remember that if you want to add other vegetables, do it! Most of us have some high-producing gardens that will produce quality vegetables in the coming weeks, so you could add some of your favorite vegetables to this pizza when the time is right.
Mark could eat pizza just about every night, of course, we don’t. This recipe would be a good one to practice making because you could make this when camping or when we lose power. We must all think about that, and preppers always do, right? We’ll lose power at some time, and we can get through it because we can survive by making pizza like this recipe! And it we’re prepared, we’ll have on hand what’s needed for just about any recipe.
My readers know that I love to make homemade bread. We eat bread all year long with our BLTs in the summer with tomatoes from the garden, bread sticks with soup on those cold days, and peanut butter and jam sandwiches when we’re in a hurry. The crust made for this pizza recipe is very similar and easy to make.
Ingredients You Will Need
Pizza Dough
- SAF Yeast
- Sugar
- Water
- Olive oil
- Garlic salt
- Flour
Pizza Stuff
- Olive oil
- Pizza sauce
- Mozzarella cheese
- Bacon strips (optional)
- Toppings: meat of choice, vegetables, etc.
Please remember bacon is optional, I wish I didn’t like bacon as much as I do. This is the secret to the best pizza ever! All you do is assemble all the ingredients you want to make your pizza with, while the cast iron pans are heating in the oven at (450°F) = ( 232°C) degrees.
After you heat the pans in the oven for 12-15 minutes at (450°F) = ( 232°C) degrees, carefully remove the pans and place them on a heat-resistant surface.
Then carefully place the dough you have prepared into each pan and line the pan with a slice of bacon under the dough if desired. It gives it a little pizzazz, I promise.
Next, spread the pizza sauce into each pan.
Sprinkle the Mozzarella cheese as shown below on each pizza crust.
Add more Mozzarella cheese if desired.
Now, start putting your favorite toppings, like chopped green pepper, sliced olives, chopped onions, and pepperoni, etc.
Bake the pizzas in the 450-degree oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
SQUEAL, look at this deep-dish cast-iron pizza! It’s so good, my friends!

In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, and water.

-
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic.
-
Place the dough in an oiled bowl and turn twice to coat.
-
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and set in a warm place to rise for 90 minutes or until the dough has doubled.
-
When the dough rises, punch it down and divide it into two pieces.

Roll each piece into a circle and place on pizza pans.

Bake (450°F) = ( 232°C) degrees for 12-15 minutes. Add pizza toppings.
Deep Dish Cast-Iron Pan Pizza
Deep-dish pizza is something of an art form and will impress everyone you feed this to! You will need 2 nine-inch cast iron pans, as stated above.
Deep Dish Cast-Iron Pizza
Ingredients
- Pizza Dough (purchase or make from scratch)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup pizza sauce
- 21/2 cups Mozzarella cheese, grated
- 6 strips of bacon (optional)
- Toppings like chopped bell peppers, onions, pepperoni, sliced olives, etc.
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to (450°F) = (232°C). Pour one tablespoon of oil to coat each cast-iron pan.
-
When the oven is preheated, place both oiled pans in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
-
Preheating the cast-iron pans is what gives you the crispy pizza crust. Please do not skip this step!
-
While heating the pans in the oven, roll out the pizza dough.
-
Because these are relatively small pizzas, you can use your hands to stretch the dough and pat it into a circle.
-
Gather your sauce, cheese, bacon, and any other toppings. Have them ready so you can work quickly once the hot pans come out of the oven.
-
Once the pans are preheated, remove them carefully.
-
Place the pans in a heat-safe location. Place the dough in the pans.
-
For extra pizzazz, line the edge of the dough with bacon strips. This will cook to a perfect crunchy consistency while the pizza bakes.
-
Now, add half the sauce to each pan, half the cheese, and any other toppings you desire.
-
Return to the hot oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until the cheese melts. You will love this recipe.
-
Serve hot from the skillet. Serve this right out of the cast iron for a pizzeria-style feeling.
What Can I Serve With Pizza?
- Tossed salad
- Fresh steamed vegetables
- Fresh fruits
- Caesar salad
- Lettuce wedges with ranch dressing
- Garlic bread
Final Word
I really hope you try this deep-dish cast-iron pizza very soon. You’ll never buy a takeout pizza again, I promise.

May God bless this world, Linda
