Electric Fry Pan Pizza Recipe

I came across a video clip in my Facebook feed the other day and I don’t know why, but I watched it. I normally don’t have time to watch video clips on Facebook but this one intrigued me. You see, someone made a pizza from scratch in their frypan which included mixing the dough right in the pan. I was a little skeptical but thought I’d adapt it to my brand new electric frypan and see how it turned out. It was one of those lazy Friday nights after a hectic week of school commitments so anything to save me time is always welcome.

You literally pour all the ingredients into your non stick frypan and stir. It can be a little gluggy but just take your time because the results are good.

Once all ingredients are combined form them into the shape of the frypan base. (I could’ve made mine a little thinner and spread it out a little more because I didn’t expect it to rise as much as it did.) Doesn’t matter if there’s holes in the base. They will join together upon cooking.

And your favourite toppings. I just did half plain cheese and the other half cheese and salami. (At least the fussy daughter will eat cheese topped pizza now.)

Cook for 15 minutes and you’re done. The original recipe stated to cook for 5 minutes with ‘vents’ closed and then 10 minutes with ‘vents’ open. My frypan doesn’t have vents in the lid but if yours did, you could try it to see if it made any difference.

Nothing beats the flavour of a traditionally made pizza with a light crispy base but this is a pretty darn good alternative if you want something on the table in a hurry with a lot less washing up and waiting time. The kids were pretty pleased with it. Very crunchy bottom and a fluffy bread base. Like I said earlier, I’d probably spread the dough right out to the edge of the frypan to make it a bit thinner and just reduce the heat slightly so it doesn’t burn on the bottom. It may take a bit of experimenting with your stove top or electric frypan but definitely worth a go. I’m kicking myself I didn’t save the video clip so I can’t give credit to the person who created the video but I managed to scribble down the recipe.

It would arrive at the table in a jet-black, well-worn pan, its edges browned and crisped where the cheese had melted into the gap between the crust and the pan. You'd lift up a slice, and long threads of mozzarella would pull out, stretching all the way across the table, a signpost saying, Hey, everyone, it's this kid's birthday! You'd reach out your fingers—almost involuntarily—grasping at those cheese strings, plucking at them like guitar strings, wrapping them around your fingers so you could suck them off before diving into the slice itself.

That perfect pan pizza had an open, airy, chewy crumb in the center that slowly transformed into a crisp, golden-brown, fried crust at the very bottom (from aheavy duty cast iron pan) and a soft, thin, doughy layer at the top, right at the crust-sauce interface. It was thick and robust enough to support a heavy load of toppings, though even a plain cheese or pepperoni slice would do.

I'm not talkingdeep-dish Chicago-style, with its crisp crust and rivers of cheese and sauce. I'm talking thick-crusted, fried-on-the-bottom, puffy, cheesy, focaccia-esque pan pizza of the kind that you might remember Pizza Hut having when you were a kid, though, in reality, most likely that pizza never really existed—as they say, pizzas past always look better through pepperoni-tinted glasses.

If only pizza that good were also easy to make. Well, here's the good news: It is. This is the easiest pizza you will ever make. Seriously. All it takes is a few basic kitchen essentials, some simple ingredients, and a bit of patience.

This recipe avoids all three of those common pitfalls, making it pretty much foolproof. To be perfectly honest, every single one of these steps has been done before, and none of it is rocket science. All I'm doing is combining them all into a single recipe.

By now, everybody and their baker's heard aboutno-knead dough. It's a technique that was developed by Jim Lahey of Sullivan Street Bakery and popularized by Mark Bittman of the

. The basic premise is simple: Mix together your dough ingredients in a bowl just until they're combined, cover the bowl, and let time take care of the rest. That's it.

So how does it work? Well, the goal of kneading in a traditional dough is to create gluten, a weblike network of interconnected proteins that forms when flour is mixed with water. All wheat flour contains some amount of protein (usually around 10 to 15%, depending on the variety of wheat). In their normal state, these proteins resemble tiny crumpled-up little balls of wire. With kneading, your goal is to first work these proteins until they untangle a bit, then to rub them against each other until they link up, forming a solid chain-link fence.

It's this gluten matrix that allows your dough to be stretched without breaking, and what allows it to hold nice big air bubbles inside. Ever eat a slice of pizza with a dense, under-risen crust? It's because whoever made it didn't properly form their gluten in the process.

Now, you can see how this could take a lot of work. Kneading, aligning, folding, linking. That's why most pizza dough recipes take a good 10 to 20 minutes of elbow grease or time in a stand mixer.

See, flour naturally contains enzymes that will break down large proteins into smaller ones. Imagine them as teeny-tiny wire cutters that cut those jumbled-up balls of wire into shorter pieces. The shorter the pieces are, the easier it is to untangle them, and the easier it is to then align them and link them up into a good, strong network. No-knead dough recipes take advantage of this fact.

Over the course of an overnight sit at room temperature, those enzymes get to work breaking down proteins. Meanwhile, yeast starts to consume sugars in the flour, releasing carbon dioxide gas in the process. These bubbles of gas will cause the dough to start stretching and, in the process, will jostle and align the enzyme-primed proteins, thereby creating gluten.

Simply allowing the dough to sit overnight will create a gluten network at least as strong as a dough that has been kneaded in astand mixeror by hand (if not stronger!), all with pretty much zero effort. Indeed, the flavor produced by letting yeast do its thing over the course of this night will also be superior to that of any same-day dough. Win-win!

Other than time, the only real key to a successful no-knead dough is high hydration. Specifically, the water content should be at least 60% of the weight of the flour you use. Luckily, high hydration also leads to superior hole structure upon baking. I go for about 65%.

One of the happy side effects of having a loose, moist dough is that it practically stretches itself. Form the dough into a ball and let it sit around at room temperature, and you'll see it spreading slowly outwards until it's nearly disk-shaped. The only thing holding it back? Friction. It sticks to the countertop or board.

What do you use to eliminate friction? Grease. Coating the dough ball in grease and placing it on a smooth surface (such as, say, the inside of acast iron skilletor roundcake pan) allows it to stretch completely under its own power.

All that's needed is a few gentle pokes with your fingertips to do the final shaping and to eliminate any ultra-large air bubbles.

You may wonder why we'd want to get rid of those bubbles, when an open, airy structure is what we're after. Well, it's because this dough is almost
