Pan pizza is another way to cook this beloved leavened food 🙂
I often make pizza, but I have always baked it in the oven.
Recently, I’ve been curious to try cooking it in a pan.
Initially, I was hesitant because I thought it wouldn’t cook well and would remain undercooked.
Yesterday, I tried preparing the dough to experiment with pan cooking.
In the end, I was very satisfied because it came out nicely cooked, and what I suggest is to cook it slowly and adjust as you go: it should lightly color.
As for the topping, I preferred the simple one with tomato and mozzarella, but you can use other toppings as you like.

Steps for Pan Pizza
Prepare the dough:
Place the flour and sourdough starter on the table.
In a small pot, pour the water with dissolved salt and oil. Stir the mixture and pour it over the flour and sourdough starter.
Knead with your hands to form a soft ball. Cover it and let it rise overnight in a warm place.
Take a pan and line it with parchment paper, spread out the dough ball, cover with a lid, and cook for about 5 minutes.
Flip the pizza, remove the parchment paper, cover with a lid, and cook for another 5 minutes.
Flip the pizza again, pour the seasoned tomato sauce with oil, salt, oregano, and add the chopped mozzarella, cover again with the lid, and cook for a few minutes.
Turn off the heat and serve immediately while hot.
