A Fun and Easy Way To Enjoy Pizza! Get ready for the ultimate pizza experience with a twist! This unique recipe combines the best of two classic dishes to create an entirely new and exciting experience. We take the texture of quick bread and present it with the flavors of pizza. The crust is a hybrid of a cheesy quick bread and a cheesy drop biscuit. The crust is then topped with all your favorite pizza toppings — the sky is the limit here! This no-yeast-required recipe is incredibly easy to make, taking less than 20 minutes to prepare. It’s a hit with kids and adults alike, making it the ideal meal for busy weeknights or a fun family pizza night. With lightning-fast prep time and a burst of cheesy, savory flavors in every bite, this pan pizza is sure to be a hit! Pan Pizza Recipe Tips Here are some tips to help you make the best pizza bread: Don’t over-mix the batter; just mix until the ingredients are just combined. Over-mixing can result in a tough and dense crust. Experiment with different cheese and topping combinations to find your favorite. For the perfect evenly cooked pizza, keep the thickness of the batter and toppings consistent. Let the pizza cool for a few minutes before slicing to ensure it holds its shape. Use a high-quality pizza sauce– it makes a big difference in the overall flavor. Our favorite is Rao’s® pizza sauce! Transfer to a cooling rack. This pizza needs to be elevated so air can circulate around all sides as it cools. Otherwise, moisture (from the heat of the crust) will condense on the bottom, making it damp. Let’s Chat Cheese For the best flavor and texture, use sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese in this Pan Pizza recipe. These cheeses are aged longer, providing a richer and more intense flavor. With mild Cheddar, you may find the flavor bland or lacking. It’s important to grate the cheese fresh, as pre-grated packaged cheese can result in a powdery texture and not melt as smoothly. Freshly grated cheese melts more easily and evenly, giving you that gooey and cheesy texture that makes pizza so irresistible. A food processor with the grating attachment can make grating the cheese a quick and easy process. When measuring the cheese, gently pack it into the measuring cup to ensure the correct amount. VARIATIONS Pan Pizza Variations Here are some fun and delicious variations you can try with this Pan Pizza recipe: Add different herbs and spices to the batter for a unique twist. Try dried oregano, onion powder, or red pepper flakes. Top the pizza bread with a variety of meats, such as salami, cooked and crumbled sausage, or ham. Add some vegetables for added nutrition and flavor, such as bell peppers, onions, or mushrooms. For a vegetarian option, try topping the pizza bread with thinly sliced tomatoes. Add basil after baking. Finish the pizza with a drizzle of balsamic glaze or a scoop of fresh basil pesto for an extra boost of flavor. STORAGE Storing Pan Pizza Storing Pan Pizza is simple and convenient since it’s actually pretty good at room temperature. After baking, let the pizza cool, then cover it tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can keep it at room temperature for up to 2-3 hours, or store it in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. When you’re ready to serve it, simply reheat it in the oven or microwave. If reheating in the oven, preheat it to 350°F and bake the (unwrapped) pizza for 10-15 minutes or until heated through. If using the microwave, heat it in 30-second increments until heated through.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.DOUGH: In a large bowl stir together the flour, salt, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, baking powder, and baking soda. In a separate medium-sized bowl, briskly whisk together the egg, sour cream, buttermilk, and 1/4 cup olive oil until smooth. Pour wet into dry and mix with a wooden spoon to form a shaggy wet dough (don't over-mix). Add in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup mozzarella and gently stir through. ASSEMBLE: Spread the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. This will take some patience, but try to get it as even as possible. Press the dough to the edges of the pan. Use a spoon to evenly spread the pizza sauce on top, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle on the remaining 1-1/2 cups Cheddar and 1/3 cup mozzarella evenly on top. Add pepperoni (or other toppings) if desired. BAKE: Bake in the fully heated oven for 25 minutes. Then remove, cover the pan with foil (or just plop a flat cookie sheet on top) and bake for 15-20 more minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Use the paper overhang to pull the pizza out and onto a cooling rack. Use a microplane to grate Parmesan cheese all over (to taste) and top the pizza with fresh basil if desired. Drizzle on the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Cut into slices and enjoy! Video Recipe NotesNote 1: Cheese: For the best flavor, use sharp or extra-sharp Cheddar cheese in this recipe.

I’m just wondering if you need to use buttermilk? I don’t have any and want to try the recipe I feel like I would throw the rest of the buttermilk away Reply
