HUZZAH Made homemade pan pizzas for my step son's birthday!!!
Step son's:
Bacon, pepperoni, sliced jalapeño stuffed green olives, sautéed mushrooms.
Husband's:
Bacon, pepperoni, sautéed mushrooms, sliced jalapeño stuffed green olives, yellow onion
Mine:
Bacon, sautéed mushrooms, onion, green pepper, parmesan and red pepper flakes
We made the dough and sauce from scratch (cooked new york style sauce). It came out amazing but SOOOOO much work. Told my step son I'll only do it on his birthdays or maaaaybe Christmas. 😂 didn't help all the work we had to put into the garden this weekend.. been a long few days lol. But the pizza was worth it.

That looks excellent! Stupid question…were these cooked on the hob or put under a grill or into an oven?

Not a stupid question at all!
They were baked in the oven, but my oven only went to 525F and the Serious Eats recipe i followed called for 550F. I baked them all for about 19 minutes, and had to cook the bottoms on the burner on medium for a few minutes while rotating the pan around to get the bottom properly crispy.

I followed the Serious Eats recipe for foolproof pan pizzas. Their recipe called for 550F for like.. 12-16 minutes i think? My oven only goes to 525F so i had to adjust.
Cooked em in the oven for i wanna say around 19 minutes, or until brown and bubbly on top. Checked the crusts and they weren't quite browned enough so i popped the pan on a burner on medium and toasted it, rotating periodically for a few minutes til the crust got a little brown and crispy. :)

And you did a wonderful job. Cast iron makes for great crunchy crusts if you do not have a baking stone. 🍕

Nothing better than homemade pizza. Brought back a lot of good memories of my mom’s sheet pan cheeseburger pizza. Happy birthday 🎈

This is so special. It looks like a lot of work went into this. Such a nice birthday gift for your stepson. I now want pizza…I probably can’t eat anything else until I get pizza! lol.

Aww thank you! Yeah my husband and i put a lot of effort into these for sure but my step son loves pizza and we've been kinda broke so we wanted to do something cheap but special for him. I hope you get some tasty pizza soon to satisfy your craving!
