Baking Pizza
A lot of people in the U.S. like pizzas a lot. There are people out there that bake our own pizzas, regardless on how you get them. You can buy the pizza pans or pizza baking stones. I agree that these pans are convinient. My problem is that why we buy it. Of course, we can bake without it to creat that nice crust, with a mess on the bottom of that oven to clean up afterward. The other problem is that a lot of ovens we use are electrics, which cycle thro out baking. The cycles might creat a little inconsistancy. I start wondering how I can improvise in order to solve the problem.
Aha!!! I can use my cast iron skillet. Cast iron cookwares are known for their heat consistancy. So I decide to bake with my cast iron skillet that you see in the picture. Before I put everything together for baking, the oven is preheated to 450。F. To prevent sticking, the skillet is light coated with very little vegetable oil, but you can choose your own. I throw some salt, pepper, chili pepper, and a little bacon pieces. You can choose your own seasonings. A few minutes before the oven is ready, I put the skillet into the oven to preheat, which will help baking the pizza and keep the oven at a consistant temperatrue.
Here is how the pizza turns out. The skillet is hot right out of the oven, so protect your hand properly. Be careful where you put it. You can see in the picture that I put the skillet on the top of something to prevent damaging the counter or the range. Then I use my spetula to push it around a little bit, then the pizza is off to the plate for dinner.
