I saw this technique on America's Test Kitchen and had to try it. Like many ATK recipes though, they made it a little more complicated than I think it needs to be. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It's pizza<\/strong>! not rocket science! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless you are working in a restaurant you don't really need to make sure your crust is precisely \u00bc inch thick then measure exactly \u00bd cup of sauce then weigh out 6 ounces of cheese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Use what you you like or what you have on hand. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your family likes a thicker crust, go for it! Just know it will take slightly longer to cook. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My son only likes a little bit of sauce on his, my husband is in between and I like to experiment with alfredo and pesto as well as more traditional pizza sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any size skillet you have and adjust the amounts to suit your fancy. This 10.25 inch skillet<\/a> lives on my stove because it is used daily for everything from eggs to stir fry to desserts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the one in this photo, we divided the pizza in half and my son had traditional tomato sauce, mozzarella and pepperoni, while I went with pesto, mozzarella and some cherry tomato halves and red bell pepper strips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both of us were very happy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
