It&#8217;s probably not that difficult, but when you can buy bags of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/winco.official.page\/photos\/a.130131823685968\/1152354718130335\/?type=1&amp;theater\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pizza dough from WinCo<\/a> for less than $1.50, why would you bother? This dough is actually really good &#8211; it&#8217;s light, fluffy and has a great crispy crunch. You could probably use Pillsbury dough or something, but for me, the Winco dough is outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, heat the pan, add a little olive oil to prevent sticking and roll out the pizza dough into a circle, so it will fit comfortably in the skillet.<\/p>\n<p>Place the dough into the hot skillet and let it cook (and rise) for a couple of minutes. Peek under one side and when it&#8217;s nicely browned, flip it over and add your toppings&#8230; tomato sauce, cheese and whatever else you like. I would stick to pre-cooked toppings or toppings that don&#8217;t necessarily need to be cooked thoroughly such as olives, prosciutto, tomatoes and so forth.<\/p>\n<p>Cover the whole thing with a lid (or aluminum foil) and let it cook for a few more minutes, Hopefully the cheese will melt and the toppings will cook before the base burns. Once it&#8217;s cooked through, slide it out of the pan, slice it and enjoy!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-138\" src=\"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_20180928_215911.jpg?w=1000\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_20180928_215911.jpg 4032w, https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_20180928_215911-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_20180928_215911-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/openfirecamping.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/img_20180928_215911-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A 12&#8243; skillet will make a pizza that is plenty big enough for 2 people.
