Prosciutto and Goat Cheese Cast Iron Pan Pizza
This easy pizza is made using a cast-iron pan, which mimics a pizza stone, creating crispy and delicious pizzeria style pizza. This pizza features goat cheese, prosciutto, and balsamic reduction, for a multi-dimensional flavor profile that is sweet, salty, savory, and slightly tart.
Ingredients
- 12 oz Pizza Dough
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2-3 tbsp Marinara Sauce or Pizza Sauce
- 1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar Reduction
- 1/2 cup Shredded Pizza Mozzarella
- 4 Thinly Sliced Pieces of Prosciutto, cut into about 1” strips
- 1/4 cup Crumbled Goat Cheese
- Handful of Arugula
- Balsamic Reduction, for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Shape pizza dough on an oiled work surface into a round circle that is about 12” in diameter. Place oil into a 12” cast iron pan, then place dough over top.
- Build your pizza in the pan by adding the marinara/pizza sauce and balsamic reduction to the center of the pizza. Using a spoon, spread the balsamic and sauce to the outer edges. Top the pizza with the mozzarella, then the prosciutto, and then finally with the crumbled goat cheese.
- Place pan over medium-high heat. Cook the pizza on the stove until the bottom of the crust begins to brown, then place into the oven on the top rack. Bake the pizza for 10-14 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbling and turning golden.
- Remove pan from the oven and allow the pizza to cool for around 5 minutes. Top with arugula and drizzle with more balsamic reduction, then cut with pizza cutter and serve.
